Professional Radio Usage in Istanbul Wireless
Communication Equipment Usage in Istanbul

• - Number of municipal organizations using
  wireless systems 70
• Number of Governmental organizations running
  their own wilreless systems 96
• - VHF channels used by the municipalities/m.units
  only 222

There is not any channel for additional wireless
devices even for public safety

Communication infrastructure of the Istanbul
Security Department
Officer population more than 30.000 Vehicle
amount (patrol cars etc.) more than 3000 Hand
held terminals 5000 pcs approx. In Car-Radios
2500 approx. Fixed wireless terminals
300..350 Relays for Wide area coverage 52 pcs
(2004) Relays in VHF 4 pcs (2004) Conventional
UHF Relays 19 units (2004)
Coverage problems are reported from concave
regions (valleys, river beds..)

Propagation problems

Probable surface damage must be cared in design
of RF transmission systems
11
Problems

• A. No or limited interoperability between
  Network and organizations
• B. Limited functions
• Mainly voice communication only, No priority
  calls, No, group calls, No selective calls for
  the security
• C. No hierarchical architecture
• D. Prone to interference and Easy-dropping,
  coverage area problem
• E. Analogue legacy systems and frequency
  allocation problems

Communication matters the Management
Existing emergency management structure
Each Department utilizes their own
communication infrastructure
Conventional wireless communication systems is
inefficient in sharing the RF channels those are
the unique common resource

Concept of Communication System in ISMEP
22
Concept of Emergency Communication Network in
Istanbul Emergency Communication Network in
Istanbul proposed to be consisting of three
network layers core network, aggregation
network, and access network. 1) Core
network Core network is a backbone network
connecting AYM, Sub Center, AKOM, and important
organizations in Ankara. 2) Aggregation
network Aggregation network will certify the user
and aggregate and terminate the traffic from the
user terminals and connects to the core
network. 3) Access network Access network is
based on IP and Trunk network technologies. The
IP network will connect the organization and
Trunk network will cover the area of Istanbul.
23
Unification of the resources on digital
communication platforms

• Multiple link on in a single channel
• (TDMA, FDMA) x4data
• Cellularization xn (frequency reuse)
• Total gain ? x4xn
• Possion process Gain x4xnxm
• m statistical distribution and capacitiy
• increment factor

Components Trends in Public Safety Future
HF wireless High reliability-low
bandwidth WiMAX 3.5GHz Licensed Two way
IP multicast radio ? Digital Wireless 380-400MHz
Gateways between existing convetnional
systems Softswitch for interoperability
25
Facilities to be provided by ISMEP

• Coordination management of units of different
  agencies/auhorities for disaster/emergency
  response
• Efficient evaluation of public resources
• Horizantal communication ability and coordination
  at the operation field
• Infrastructure for common call number oriented
  emergency management (112)
• Continuous and automated observation of the field
  through redundant mobile data acquisition network
• Reporting of work load and performence of public
  safety units for QoS and efficient capacity usage
• Optimal resource management system by increasing
  the Controllability
• Participation of relatively smaller sized high
  amount of groups those are not able to run their
  own communication infrastructures to the
  emergency response capcity.

WiMAX
Recent wireless networks in Turkey

• Superonline in European Site of Istanbul
• Doganonline in Asian site of Istanbul
• Ministry application in Çankiri

Conclusions
Digital wireless is a must for Istanbul Special
considerations are needed to provide Redundancy
relaibility in case of an earthquake Commandcontr
ol Hardware Software is not independent from
communication system. They are optimized
together A hybrid solution is recommended for
better bandwidth efficiency, QoS and reliability
