2. Outline
Motivation
Usage models
Calls for interest and new ideas

3. Motivation
Many civil and enterprise applications for require additional functionalities for:
Robustness (operation in hostile environments)
Survivability (operation is guaranteed)
Reliability (strict latency control and high-priority for emergency)
Security (higher security requirements due to the transmission of critical data)
Increase the market share for globally

4. Usage models Public Safety Communications Surveillance
Airport Communication Systems
Emergency and disaster relief
Security applications

5. Calls for interest and new ideas
This is a call for interest in studying enhancements of the network robustness and reliability
This is also a call for new ideas allowing to meet higher requirements in terms of robustness and reliability
Those ideas may be discussed in
Teleconferences
Reflector discussions
An interest-group meeting at the January Interim meeting
