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
TIA’s 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 FCC’s 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.
TIA’s Activities on 700 MHz (cont)
 TIA has filed comments on technical requirements for public safety
entities seeking to build interoperable networks, urging that technologyneutral rules that ensure seamless interoperability among public safety
networks.
 We strongly support the President’s 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
Highlight of Current Activities
 TR-8 develops standards for Project 25 digital radio
systems (TIA-102 series of standards)
• Standards suite consists of 64 documents covering topics such as
 Over-the-air interface
 Services such as Trunking, Encryption, Data Transport, Overthe-Air Rekeying (OTAR)
 Fixed network interfaces such as Inter-Sub-System Interface,
Console Interface, Fixed Station Interface
 Network Management
 Telephone Interface
 Key Management Facility (KMF) Interface
 Compliance Assessment Testing
 Phase II 2-slot TDMA trunking systems

Highlight of Current Activities
 Continued maintenance of analog FM standards
• TIA-603-D Standard for analog FM or PM Transceivers
 Standards for Wireless Communications Systems
Propagation, Interference, and Frequency Coordination
• TSB 88 series of bulletins
 Consists of 3 bulletins on Performance Modeling, Propagation and
Noise, and Performance Verification
 Additional work focuses on Broadband Data Systems
• Documents on Antenna Systems
 Five standards published on Fixed, Vehicular, and Portable Antennas,
along with standards for Digitized Performance Characterization
• Documents relating to Electro-Magnetic Emission Safety (EME)
measurement and reporting
Highlight of Current Activities
 Standards for wideband and broadband data
• TIA-902 series of standards for wideband data systems in the 50 to
150 kHz bandwidth
• TSB-1065 relating to Public Safety Use of Broadband Data
Systems
Highlight of TR-45 Activities
 TR-45 does work to support Government-toGovernment, 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

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 cdma2000®1 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.

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.

E911 and Priority Services
 Support of granting priority access to
cdma2000 services to a government related
special class of users.
 Support identification of emergency calls
originated by the mobile station. This
indication is passed to the network.
 Support Multimedia Priority Services for 1x
and HRPD
13
Location
 Continued evolution of location based services
 Significant updates to Position Location
documents, which enhances availability of location
based services, e.g., E911.
 Completing test specifications commences with
major position location updates.
 Improved protocols and procedures to enable
mobile station based Advance Forward Link
Trilateration (AFLT) for 1x, HRPD, and UMB

• Highlights
 Focus on architectures, services, and functional capabilities for standardization
requirements in various emergency circumstances and environments.
 Areas of standardization include satellite emergency communications, land to sky,
emergency SMS, disaster recovery, citizen-to-authority (E911, NOVES), authority-to-citizen
(EAS, CMAS, ENS), authority-to-authority (ETS), automated calls to emergency services,
wireless and multimedia priority services, emergency services for femto, position location.
 Regional regulatory requirements and mandates in coordination with global directions.
• Next Steps
 Continue to develop new standards and make revisions to existing standards.
 Continue to support the various public safety needs and regulations including non-voice
emergency services, public warning research, sensor monitoring, unified IMS, priority call in
public communications, call forwarding and referral of emergency calls and RRS-based
public safety communications infrastructure.
 Continue cross-organizational coordination, collaboration, and liaisons.
