TIA and PPDR

• TIA has a proven track record of supporting
  emergency responders, and has long been a
  catalyst for the wireless industry to develop and
  maintain public safety standards (analog and
  digital) for equipment and systems
• TIA standards activities began in the 1920s
• One Committee, TR-8, Broadband Data Systems has
  met continuously since 1944 and has been involved
  in producing standards for land mobile systems
  and products that serve the public safety
  community and other private radio users
• TIAs Engineering Committee TR-8 develops
  narrowband, and wideband and now broadband
  standards, involving both users and suppliers in
  its standards deliberation activities

3
TIA and Project MESA

• Recent TR-8 activities have included Project 25
  (102-series) for voice plus narrowband and
  wideband (902-series) data
• Natural evolution to look at broadband mobile for
  Public Safety
• Project 34 and TR-8.8
• Through broadband data emerges a paradigm shift
  potential for commercial technology to facilitate
  data needs
• Enhance Public Safety capabilities
• Involvement of TIA TR-45, Mobile and Personal
  Communications Systems and its members
• Issues for Public Safety Spectrum and systems
  (private/commercial ownership, operation and
  management), comprehensive SLAs, robustness and
  reliability of technology, other

MESA Partnership for Broadband PPDR

• Recognized that ETSI and TIA were independently
  working on similar projects
• Challenges faced by Public Protection and
  Disaster Relief (PPDR) professionals are similar
  throughout the world
• Partnership program between ETSI and TIA
• Formed in May 2000 using the Partnership
  Project model that was used in 3GPPs
• This Public Safety Partnership Project (PSPP)
  named Project MESA in honor of the signatory city
  
• Acronym fits well tooMobility for Emergency and
  Safety Applications

Objectives

• MESA aims to coordinate and articulate globally
  applicable requirements and technical
  specifications for digital mobile broadband
  technology, aimed initially at the sectors of
  public safety and disaster response in support of
  local, regional and international responses to
  emergencies, disasters and day-by-day services
• Based on continued professional user input and
  contribution

MESA Partnership for Broadband PPDR

• Goals are to (1) internationally coordinate
  requirements/capabilities/scenarios, and (2)
  develop technology specifications for
  (inter)operable mobile broadband data for PPDR

  requirements and technical derivations
• OPs transpose MESA specs into regional and
  national standards
• Facilitate economies of scale, identified
  commonalities
• Leverage existing and emerging technology
• Facilitate enhanced capabilities for Emergency
  Responders and other professionals with similar
  needs

  growth
• May help establish a common infrastructure for
  competing products to interoperate
• Simplifies development by defining a minimum set
  of common requirements
• Enables new business opportunities and
  potentially even new markets
• Consistency in marketplace

Moving Forward

• Progress existing Work Items
• MESA TSG SYS articulating MESA SoR into technical
  capabilities and specifications
• MESA deliverables will be developed and
  transposed, as necessary, into national/regional
  standards involving next-generation mobile
  broadband technology for PS, security and
  emergency response professionals
• Approved Specs recently transmitted to OPs for
  transposition
• User-defined SoR is Living Document and so open
  to revision as needed (contribution-based)

38
Moving Forward

• MESA participants will utilize System of
  Systems capabilities and specifications approach
• Leverage existing or near-term technologies/servic
  es that are capable of providing needed bandwidth
  and convergence services for Next-Generation PS
  communications and access options (high
  security/varied connectivity)
• Identify PS requirement gaps in existing
  standards
• Develop specifications for new or adapted
  technologies/services where none currently exists
  that support PS needs

39
Moving Forward

• MESA 12 (Boston, April 2006) saw the
  introduction of five technology proposals by
  manufacturers and providers
• Important step forward
• Enhanced capability Proposals currently include
  cdma2000 EV-DO, OFDMA, W-CDMA-HSDPA,
  802.11x/ma/PHY, 802.16e and satellite
• Next 6 months Air Interface Incident Area
  Networking Technologies and Specifications
  analysis from Industry Responses received
• Other proposals welcome next meeting (must follow
  format set at this meeting)
• Broadband Data is primary concern (voice
  secondary)
• Location Based Services also identified for
  short-term
• MayDay XML Data Tags work too (fire, EMS, etc.)
• Longer term Focus Jurisdiction Networking
  Broadband Specifications and Interworking
  Specifications

40
Moving Forward

• MESA OPs, including ETSI and TIA, continue to
  facilitate government and industry awareness and
  coordination
• Encourage participation in, or communication
  with, Project MESA (via OPs TIA and ETSI) by
  affected agencies and administrations, standards
  bodies, equipment providers, service providers,
  research organizations, etc.
• TIA and ETSI working to raise awareness/outreach
  levels (regionally/globally), coordinating
  existing and identifying future RD efforts for
  critical Next-Generation needs of Public safety,
  security and emergency users

41
Moving Forward

• The MESA approach represents a continuing
  challenge to the industry, as public safety
  organizations may require communications (1) to
  operate on a variety of networks and systems,
  from dedicated radio to personal area, incident
  area and jurisdictional networks, to 3G networks
  and beyond and (2) include very stringent form
  factors, network integrity, QoS, and other
  requirements not normally found in most
  commercial deployments
• Such capabilities will extend the tools available
  for emergency communications users
• Including video and high-speed data in
  ubiquitous, wide-area, multiple agency or
  stand-alone (ad-hoc) networks and voice
