Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS) Standards Initiatives

1. Emergency Telecommunication Service (ETS) Standards Initiatives Presentation for EMTEL Workshop ETSI Headquarters Sofia Antipolis, France 26-27 February 2002 Hal Folts Senior Systems Engineer Priority Services Team - Internet 703 607-6186 foltsh@ncs.gov

2. Agenda • Background • Issues Under Consideration • Objectives and Focus of work • Project TIPHON Work Items • Progress and Accomplishments • Time Line • Following the Action • Abbreviations

3. Emergency Communications Telecommunication services to support recovery operations Ensure effective communications to support recovery operations through severely congested and impaired resources during times of disaster – e.g. earth quakes, hurricanes, floods, volcano eruptions, terrorist attacks Authorized users – e.g. medical services, fire brigades, police, government and industry recovery teams

4. Telecommunications resources often experience severe stress with damaged infrastructure and very high traffic loads Initial recovery response teams need telecom support to enable organization and coordination of recovery resources immediately Response teams must depend on readily available public telecommunications resources – Internet, Cellular, POTS Why ETS Serious Disasters happen any place, any time, unexpectedly

5. FTS2001 INMARSAT DISN PSN WITH: PBX ACCESS AUTHORIZATION ENHANCED ROUTING PRIORITY TREATMENT Cellular/PCS Diplomatic Telecommunications Service (DTS) International FAX GETS The Government Emergency Telecommunications Service(GETS) GETS established to provide emergency access and specialized processing in local and long-distance telephone networks for authorized users GETS access is through a simple dialing plan and personal identification number (PIN)

6. GETS convergence NGN Tomorrow Fully integrated global services for NS/EP operations Yesterday PSTN/ISDN/PLMN Today Evolving Nets Transition with circuit/packet interworking Telecom Evolution FUTURE OF NS/EP COMMUNICATIONS

7. Goal Fully integrated NS/EP services received through execution of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with service providers using standard capabilities inherent in infrastructure i.e. avoid retrofits

8. ETS IEPS – International Emergency Preference Scheme – ITU-T Recommendation E.106 IEMS – International Emergency Multimedia Service – ITU-T Draft Recommendation F.706 are collectively being referred to as Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS) ETS can then be used in either an international or national context

9. Objectives of ETS • Selection of multimedia & telephony services • Rapid authentication of authorized ETS users • Security protectionof ETS traffic • Preferential access to telecom facilities • Preferential establishment of ETS communications • Preferential routing of emergency ETS traffic • Preferential use of operational resources for ETS • Preferential completion of ETS traffic • Optional pre-emption of non-emergency traffic • Allowable degradation of QoS for ETS traffic • Interchange of critical service management info

10. Do not impede or interfere with natural functions and operations of basic Internet infrastructure. Draw upon existing standards with minimal changes or additions, if necessary to meet objectives. new applications– instant messaging & presence, registration of missing/survivors (IAA), broadcast video. Support preferential treatment of emergency calls in IP-telephony service. Fulfillment

11. ITU-T SG-2 SG-4 SG-9 SG-11 SG-12 SG-13 SG-16 SSG Functional Requirements Telephony Call Control Backbone Signalling Quality of Service Architecture/framework Customer Service Management Multimedia Services Security Protocol Framework Telephony Call Control Backbone Signalling Quality of Service Multimedia Services Security IETF Nationally agreed upon input into international bodies and specific issues relating to USA marketplace USA T1A1 T1M1 T1P1 T1S1 TR-41 TR-45 3GPP2 Functional Requirements Protocol Profiles/templates Quality of Service Architecture/framework System Description Security ETSI TIPHON 3GPP TMForum Service Level Agreements Issues Being Pursued

12. New ETS Work Items for Releases 4 & 5 WI 00004-1 Requirement Definition Study Technical ETS features and objective to be fulfilled WI 00004-2 System Description How standards fulfill the ETS requirements TIPHON Initiative

13. Many Considerations • Technical — solutions being sought: • Operational • Policy • Legal • Regulatory • Industry networking standards that fulfill ETS requirements • Enhance ETS operations with value-added capabilities

14. Standards development is a process of consistency, persistence, patience Progress Established ETS Requirements in all major industry standards bodies Approved and advanced drafts of ETS framework Enthusiastic industry support First drafts of ETS technical specifications

15. Time Line January 2001 — Identified initial work areas for technical focus and initial technical area for enhanced features December 2001 — ETS requirements adopted in work programs of ITU-T, IETF, ETSI, ANSI T1, and TIA March 2001 – December 2003 —Proactively provide technical contributions and participate in work of specific technical areas of industry standards activities Autumn 2002 First meaningful standards to be established and adopted by industry FY 2002 – 2004 Prototyping work to validate applications of newly agreed upon industry standards
