Overview

• TIA continues to work on this important HIS area,
  in all four legs of the GSC framework for
  Emergency Communications
• Individuals-to-Individuals also known as
  Citizen-to-Citizen, Employer-to-Employee, etc.
• Individuals-to-Government or Authorities, such as
  calls to PSAPs, 9-1-1, etc.
• Government-to-Individuals, such as Alerts and
  Warnings, Evacuation Orders, etc.
• Government-to-Government or Authority-to-Authority
  , e.g., Project 25 (P25), TETRA, MESA, etc.
• This framework has served our Sector well since
  it was adopted by GSC

TIAs Activities on 700 MHz

• While TIA has not taken a position on whether to
  give the D Block to public safety or auction it
  commercially, TIA has long supported the swift
  deployment of an interoperable broadband public
  safety network.
• TIA has meet with the FCC and filed comments
  urging the adoption of rules that will ensure the
  technical and economic viability of a public
  safety network.
• TIA regularly meets with public safety, including
  PSST (Public Safety Spectrum Trust) and APCO
  (Association of Public-Safety Communications
  Officials), to coordinate and learn of their
  priorities.
• TIA has also provided technical expertise to the
  FCCs Emergency Response Interoperability Center
  on public safety network priority access and
  roaming for the 700 MHz public safety band waiver
  grantees and the overall public safety network.

TIAs Activities on 700 MHz (cont)

• TIA has filed comments on technical requirements
  for public safety entities seeking to build
  interoperable networks, urging that
  technology-neutral rules that ensure seamless
  interoperability among public safety networks.
• We strongly support the Presidents goal of
  ensuring that future spectrum auction proceeds
  are directed to building a nationwide
  interoperable broadband public safety network we
  are working with the White House, FCC
  Commissioners, the Wireless Telecommunications
  Bureau, and key Members of Congress to achieve
  this goal.

Highlight of TR-8 Activities

• TIA, through the TR-8 committee on Private Land
  Mobile Radio, develops standards for Emergency
  Communications in several areas
• Maintains standards for existing analog
  (Frequency Modulated) radio systems
• Develops and maintains a suite of standards for
  Project 25, a digital radio system targeted at
  Public Safety and Disaster Relief
• Develops and maintains standards and bulletins
  relating to radio propagation, interference, and
  frequency coordination
• Develops standards and bulletins relating to
  wideband and broadband radio systems for Public
  Safety and Disaster Relief applications

  Portable Antennas, along with standards for
  Digitized Performance Characterization
• Documents relating to Electro-Magnetic Emission
  Safety (EME) measurement and reporting

  systems in the 50 to 150 kHz bandwidth
• TSB-1065 relating to Public Safety Use of
  Broadband Data Systems

9
Highlight of TR-45 Activities

• TR-45 does work to support Government-to-Governmen
  t, CMAS, and Wireless Priority Services
• completed work on the Emergency Services for
  Femto specification
• continues to actively partner with ATIS WTSC
  developing joint standards for CMAS
• working with 3GPP2 on the requirements and
  network support for Multimedia Priority Services
• working with 3GPP2 on a Call Back to an Emergency
  Call Origination capability

10
Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS)

• Background
• The Warning, Alert, and Response Network Act
  Signed into law on October 13, 2006
• Sets in motion the planning for Commercial
  Mobile Service Providers to voluntarily send
  emergency alerts to their subscribers
• Commercial Mobile Service Providers are
  considered to be cellular and paging companies.
• Only the service is discussed technology
  choices are not specified
• Thus, Sub-Committees developing these standards
  have the option of choosing a specific technology
• This work is Regional US based
• Joint development activity between TR-45 TR-45.5
  and TR-45.8 and ATIS to develop CMAS-related
  specifications common to both groups
• Core Standards for 1x cdma20001 CMAS air
  interface documents have completed development
  and published.
• C Interface test specification is in development
  in 2010

1cdma2000 is the trademark for the technical
nomenclature for certain specifications and
standards of the Organizational Partners (OPs) of
3GPP2. Geographically (and as of the date of
publication), cdma2000 is a registered trademark
of the Telecommunications Industry Association
(TIA-USA) in the United States.

Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS)

• CMAS Reference Architecture for CDMA
• The applicable network entities are represented
  by squares. The applicable reference points of
  the CDMA wireless network reference model are
  represented by circles and are defined in the TIA
  Wireless Network Reference Model 2006.
• The C and E reference points are defined in
  the Commercial Mobile Alert Service Architecture
  and Requirements Version 1.0, FCC Commercial
  Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee.
• The reference architecture, as defined herein, is
  intended to provide a level of abstraction that
  may facilitate the specification of messages and
  protocols within.
