Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 2 Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (1) Development of a deliverable on Total Conversation Access to Emergency Services (draft TS ) –Total Conversation, as defined in ITU-T F.703, is a combination of three media in a conversational call: video, real-time text and audio –Draft will define precise conditions for using Total conversation for emergency services and make access of emergency services possible to people with disabilities –Draft will mainly address the PSAP organisations and potential impact on overall organisations of emergency services –Due considerations of present ongoing standardisation work e.g. 3GPP-NOVES Involvement in answer to Mandate M/493 with other ETSI TBs –Mandate in support of location enhanced emergency call service Establishing closer ties with EU –Contribution to the Expert Group on Emergency Access

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 3 Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (2) Strategic direction: –Maintain momentum of activity based on a combined participation of vendors, operators and emergency services representatives –Develop requirements based on service and functional description –Be an observatory of work performed in various groups: 3GPP (SA1, CT1), NENA, EENA, PSCE Forum, IETF-ECRIT, ITU-T (SG2) –Promote activity and recognition of EMTEL Through pragmatic actions (conference, website) Initiatives (e.g. contact with COCOM EGEA)

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 4 Requirements for Emergency Communications (SC EMTEL) (3) Challenges: –Improve promotion of EMTEL documents to users and other groups (e.g. ETSI TBs and 3GPP groups, other SDOs, European projects). –Continuous effort to get users’ requirements through public safety users (e.g. fire and rescue services, ambulances, police, Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) involved in EMTEL work. –Promote global harmonisation of public safety spectrum needs and provision of dedicated spectrum capacity for public safety use only.

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 5 Satellite Emergency Communications (TC SES SatEC) Early warning systems –WG-SatEC is developing a protocol allowing the transport/distribution of polymorph alert messages over satellite links Easily Deployable Emergency Communication Cells –WG-SatEC is studying the characteristics and requirements for easily deployable communication cells providing seamless backhauling and interconnection of terrestrial networks via satellite Key to successful emergency communications = common data formats + interoperable systems + common spectrum

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 6 Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TC TETRA) TETRA is one of ETSI’s success stories and has reached great acceptance in the world and is widely established (117 countries) TETRA is a standard defined to meet needs of most demanding professional mobile radio users Achievements –Narrowband (TETRA release 1) and Wideband (TETRA release 2) are complete and both are in use Challenges: –Broadband TETRA services are about to be developed to meet new user requirements –Inter System Interface development still needs further definition –Study and standards development to extend TETRA into high band VHF

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 7 Digital Mobile radio (TC ERM TG DMR) DMR has capability to serve –Consumer and short-range industrial –Professional/Business-Critical applications –Public Safety/Mission-Critical applications (Tier 3: licensed trunking) The technology promises improved range, higher data rates, more efficient use of spectrum and improved battery ETSI standard on DMR systems (TS serie) defining direct digital replacement for analogue PMR –Currently being revised

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 8 Reconfigurable Radio systems (TC RRS) Today Public Safety communication suffers from two different issues –Spectrum scarcity hampering the development of high bit rate applications which could be of great help during an emergency crisis –Heterogeneous wireless communication systems not compatible with each other RRS technology may help resolving these two issues –SDR can mitigate the interoperability issue –Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (DSA) and Cognitive Radio (CR) can improve the efficient use of the available spectrum enabling the spectrum sharing TC RRS WG4 on Public Safety: –Has recently published a TR on business and cost consideration of SDR and CR in PS domain (TR ) –Is currently defining the use cases for spectrum and network usage among public safety, commercial or military domain (TR ). –Both TRs refer to Spectrum sharing, Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and pre-emption

Halifax, 31 Oct – 3 Nov 2011ICT Accessibility For All GSC16-PLEN-07 Mobile cellular with eCall eCall project initiated as WG of the eSafety Forum eCall aims at issuing an automated call to emergency services, including data –To reduce response time of emergency services Standards developed in CEN, 3GPP and ETSI –CEN has defined the content and format of the MSD (Minimum Set of Data) in CEN/TS The MSD is generated by the vehicle to the PSAP at eCall establishment. –3GPP has defined the transport protocol to send the MSD from the In Vehicle System (IVS) to the PSAP, via the GSM/UTS network, defined in 3GPP. See “eCall Data Transfer – In-band modem solution” –ETSI (TC MSG, STF 399) and 3GPP have defined the test cases. End-to-end cases are now being conducted by CEN (CEN 1502). Recent decisions –Type approval for new types of car will include eCall from 1 st January –ETSI TC MSG reminded to the ECC that eCall has been defined to operate on dual mode GSM/UMTS devices (and not only on GSM, as being currently considered by car manufacturers) 9
