Mobile Wireless Broadband (MWB) for Public
Authority Needs

• Much of the attention to ITS wireless
  communications has focused on serving private
  vehicles (automatic crash notification, wireless
  diagnostics, vehicles services like remote door
  unlock, etc.)
• At least as important Support of emergency
  vehicle fleets (police, fire, ambulance, etc.)
  for both routine operations and major disasters
  (PPDR)
• Current situation High level of incompatibility
  among emergency services and across jurisdictions

4
Operational Needs for Emergencies and Disasters
(PPDR)

• User requirements Need to work together
• Immediate area-wide high-bandwidth communications
  
• Supplement or replace primary communication
  networks
• Flexible, familiar user-interface
• Standard terminal equipment and application
  software
• System architecture and organization
• Standard ISP system architecture plus mobility
• Flexible, multi-tiered command and control

5
MWB with VOIPImportant Part of Public Sector
Solution

• Can provide a consistent, robust capability that
• Works for all routine operations
• Provides priority for emergency operations
• Offers high-speed access to data including
  private Internet sites
• Graphical, text, or speech output
• Commercial vehicle cargo (esp. dangerous goods)
• Building floor plans for fire fighters
• Medical data for ambulances
• Vehicle (and other) records for police
• Maps and facility records for major emergencies
  and evacuations
• Technology is just one aspect
• Hard part is institutional arrangements across
  jurisdictions

6
Standards for MWB for Public Authorities

• ETSI/TIA Project MESA has established the
  groundwork
• There exist published standards that meet the
  needs of police, fire, ambulance, transportation
  disaster, etc.

7
CALM

• Continuous Air interface for Long and Medium
  range
• A family of umbrella protocols that enable
  vehicles to stay connected
• Covers 2.5/3G, infrared, microwave (5.9 GHz),
  millimetre wave (63 GHz), mobile wireless
  broadband
• Allows vehicles to use the best combination of
  in-vehicle and infrastructure communications
  technology locally available
• Particular emphasis on supporting vehicle safety
  applications
• Two primary focuses in todays presentation
• DSRC/WAVE at 5.9 GHz
• Mobile Wireless Broadband

8
DSRC at 5.9 GHz ? WAVE

• Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) at
  5.9 GHz now called WAVE (Wireless Access in
  Vehicular Environments) 75 MHz of bandwidth
  allocated by U.S. FCC
• Potentially a U.S. federally-funded vehicle-data
  network separate from cellular
• Requires money and standards
• In the U.S., money may finally be forthcoming
  from recent passage of long-delayed highway
  reauthorization bill SAFETEA-LU
• Standards progress has been slow in IEEE 802.11p
  and IEEE 1609
• Worldwide compatibility
• The European vehicle manufacturers in the
  Car-2-Car Consortium are working through ETSI
  TG37 for a European solution compatible with the
  U.S.
• Canada allocated spectrum in the same frequencies
• More activities needed in Korea, Japan, and other
  countries that have or plan to have the
  capability to control vehicular traffic via
  wireless safety applications

9
Status of Vehicle Safety Communications Standards

• High level of collaboration among SDOs,
  significantly arising from Project MESA
• IEEE 1609 Upper layers
• Difficult to keep the focus on vehicle safety and
  public safety applications vs. commercial
  applications
• IEEE 802.11p Lower layers
• Very slow progress
• ISO/TC204/WG16 (ISO 21210 CALM M5)
• Creating umbrella standards, but depending on
  IEEE work for WAVE implementation specifics

10
MWB and CALM (1)

• MWB is useful as well for commercial ITS, which
  includes large distances and high speed travel
• Must remain consistent with public authority ITS
  including message prioritization in accordance
  with Project MESA objectives
• MWB needs to operate within the CALM networking
  environment for vehicles
• CALM networking needs to operate within MWB
  protocols for session establishment and
  maintenance

11
MWB and CALM (2)

• ISO TC204 and ETSI TG37 are forming relationships
  with developers of standards and practices for
  MWB
• IEEE 802.16 and the WiMAX Forum
• IEEE 802.20
• ATIS for HC-SDMA
• IETF NEMO (Network Mobility)
• Intend to support (at least) the these MWB
  standards
• IEEE 802.16e/WiMAX Let the market decide
• IEEE 802.20 which approaches will
• ATIS HC-SDMA be successful
• Others?

12
Vehicle Safety Data Communications

• ETSI TG37 and ISO/TC204 recognize the need for an
  environment like CALM that includes
• Vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-infrastructure
  communications
• Continuous/quasi-continuous communications over
  multiple technologies
• to effectively handle safety messages
• Vehicle safety requires very high reliability
• Because serious crashes are infrequent, error
  rate for vehicle safety data communications
  probably needs to be lt10-7
• Safety data messages probably have to be sent via
  two or more technologies with substantially
  different characteristics,e.g., microwave (5.9
  GHz) and millimetre wave (63 GHz)
• Work items to support data registration for
  automatic crash notification (ACN) and access
  procedures using any available technologies have
  been added to the ISO/TC204 work programme
• Work items to use MWB (three approaches) within
  CALM have been adopted into the CALM architecture
  and ISO/TC204 work programme being developed
  jointly with ETSI TG37

13
The CALM Media Used For Safety Applications Need
...

• Handover protocols to enable continuous sessions
• Adequate power and bandwidth to achieve
• Uplink and downlink data rates of at least 200
  kbps for vehicles travelling at 200 km/h toward
  and away from ground stations
• Uplink and downlink data rates of at least 100
  kbps to/from one another (combined speed of 400
  km/h) for vehicle-to-vehicle communications

Encourage ITU/CEPT/FCC to provide
technology-agnostic bandwidth to support MWB,
5.9 GHz, and 63 GHz globally or with enough
similarity to allow common technical solutions
