Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) 14 Satellite Emergency Communications in ETSI (TC SES) Source: Jean-Jacques Bloch, Chairman TC SES
Highlight of Current Activities (1) • SES activities are complementary to those of EMTEL and TETRA. • Current activities • Alerting: Multiple Alert Message Encapsulation over Satellite: • Independent of the transmission technology and alert message format. • Supporting additional mechanisms to bridge the gap between the requirements of alerting (cf ETSI EMTEL) and what the hosting technology provides.
Highlight of Current Activities (2) • Current activities • Field networks: Emergency Communication Cell over Satellite: • Started as the result of several already existing projects/products, • Concept of “emergency communication cell” deployed on the spot based on widespread terrestrial technologies, • A dedicated equipment provides interconnection/backhauling capabilities via satellite between the communication cell and remote network infrastructures, • Standardization effort on the definition of functional interfaces and performance requirements.
Strategic Direction • First-hour non-interfering narrowband transmission over existing satellite channels • To provide piggybacked narrowband communication capabilities during the first hour before actual deployment of the emergency communication infrastructure • Hybrid communication architectures • To provide networking mechanisms for improved sharing/load balancing/handover mechanisms between terrestrial and space segments • Satellite support for terrestrial network operations • To take advantage of satellite broadcasting capabilities to distribute network control data such as signaling, localisation and timing
Challenges • Capture end-user requirements and identify future trends • In disaster management, technical solutions are strongly driven by user constraints (legal or technical) • Achieve harmonization regarding practices in civil protection policies and disaster management • Heterogeneous practices impair the development of unified communication solutions for disaster management support • Secure the availability of dedicated spectrum for disaster management and relief • The development of future emergency communication systems is impaired by the lack of dedicated spectrum/ uniformization of spectrum use
Next Steps/Actions • Closer cooperation with relevant bodies/institutions worldwide • Improve knowledge/expertise transfer between end-users and techno-oriented actors • Initiate new standardization activities
