ABOUT OMA
 For over 10 years, OMA has been the premier international Standards
Development Organization (SDO) for developing mobile service enablers
 OMA develops Service Enablers and APIs in the areas of
Communications, Content Delivery, Device Management, Location
 OMA Service Enablers and APIs allow developers to
deploy a wide range of device and network functions in a
way that ensures operator networks and devices will
respond in a predictable fashion
 OMA enablers are utilized across multiple vertical
markets (i.e., DM has commercial application in Mobile and
Automotive)

OMA Wireless Public Key Infrastructure
STANDARDS ENABLE MOBILE OPERATORS TO OFFER STRONG
SERVICES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY NETWORKS
 Critical Communications has many stakeholders and relies on many
technologies. It crosses national standards boundaries, air interfaces
and regulatory administrations, and is by its very nature going to
require a large and effective normative referencing and liaising
function.
 Today, Public Safety services are most commonly
provided through regional Public Safety standards
including TETRA and P25 that provide features not
previously supported in commercial mobile systems

STANDARDS ENABLE MOBILE OPERATORS TO OFFER STRONG
SERVICES FOR PUBLIC SAFETY NETWORKS
 There is a growing industry support for the use of
commercial broadband technology, including LTE, both
from private and shared commercial range for Public
Safety networks and services
 A multi-stakeholder, standards-based approach will help to
bring interoperability between different vendors leading to a
competitive global equipment market.

OMA PUSH TO TALK OVER CELLULAR (POC)
 OMA POC specifies a form of communications that allows users to
engage in immediate communication with one or more users (“walkietalkie”-like) in the way that by pressing a button, a talk session with an
individual user or a broadcast to a group of participants is initiated.
 OMA PoC V2.1 (published as Approved in 2011) allows Audio (e.g. speech,
music), Video (without Audio), still image, text (formatted and nonformatted) and file sharing with a single recipient (1-to-1) or among
multiple recipients in a group (1-to-many)

OMA PUSH TO TALK OVER CELLULAR (POC)
 The most-prominent US commercial deployments of OMA PoC is
AT&T's Enhanced Push-to-Talk, launched in November 2012. Another
commercial deployment is Bell Mobility's Next Generation Push-to-Talk
in Canada, launched in April 2012. Verizon has also deployed PoC 2.0
recently.
 All these networks are powered by Kodiak Networks (compliant with OMA
PoC V2.0)

based on liaison exchange

OBSERVATIONS ON PCPS/MCPTT
 3GPP is the source of requirements:
OMA is not creating unique requirements for Push to Communicate for Public
Safety (PCPS). It is taking requirements from 3GPP.
This is a well-established practice between OMA and 3GPP that has been refined
in over 10 years of Liaison and joint meeting activity.
 Re-use is practical:
Collaboration between OMA and 3GPP appears to be the most practical approach.
OMA owns an existing, deployed specification for Push to Talk in OMA PoC and
remains the source of expertise. Retaining normative referencing with OMA retains
the continuity of FRAND IPR licensing from the original contributors.
Failure to collaborate with OMA may require 3GPP to create an entirely new
implementation of PoC.

OBSERVATIONS ON PCPS/MCPTT
 Improves organizational capacity:
Companies who participate in both 3GPP and OMA may alleviate 3GPP delegates
load by off-loading Service Layer work to OMA attendees. This may ultimately benefit
the timeliness of the final product.
 Government participation:
A Government Agency may participate in OMA through Government Agency (GA)
Participant program directly without any membership fees.
With the implementation of “hybrid” meetings, it is now possible to fully participate in
an OMA working group remotely.

OBSERVATIONS ON PCPS/MCPTT
 Good organizational matching:
Both OMA and 3GPP are internationally chartered organizations with members from
all regions.
Our standards development process is similar, we have similar IPR licensing policies,
and we have the ability to normatively reference each other’s specifications.
OMA is the best and the strongest standards development environment for Critical
Communications application layer standards that will work with 3GPP LTE standards
optimizations and enhancements at the network layer.
Cooperation and collaboration sets up a workable process for future adaptation of
other service layer enablers relevant to critical communications.

OBSERVATIONS ON PCPS/MCPTT
 Appears to meet the needs of Public Safety evolution from
narrowband to broadband networks:
The Public Safety work ongoing at OMA is evolving PoC, that was developed
collaboratively with 3GPP and is deployed commercially in the market, e.g. in the
U.S and Canada, to PCPS (Push to Communicate for Public Safety).
OMA PCPS will be ready to incorporate Public Safety requirements and deliver
application standards that will operate with any transport technology, on any
private, commercial or private-commercial networks, and can easily interoperate
with current narrowband and other current Public Safety networks, command and
control centers, and databases, etc.

OBSERVATIONS ON PCPS/MCPTT
 Setting the stage - OMA PCPS is only the first enabler:
The focus today in OMA is PoC and its enhancement to PCPS.
However, OMA has important specifications for Location services, Presence
services, Device Management, and others that may be required in future versions
of Critical Communications.
Re-use of existing specifications will ensure mature, tested technologies that
underlie Critical Communications services.
Establishing the working practices with PCPS/MCPTT today ensure continuity as
future enhancements are rolled out.

ESTABLISHING THE CRITICAL COMMUNICATIONS ECOSYSTEM
 Critical Communications has many stakeholders and relies on many
technologies. It crosses national standards boundaries, air interfaces and
regulatory administrations, and is by its very nature going to require a large
and effective collaboration and normative referencing function.
 It is vitally important foster the operational backbone of technical
collaboration now. Effective collaboration is the important part of this debate,
not the specifics of POC.
 Everyone will benefit if the first order of business is to figure out how to have
an effective “big tent” approach.
 Failure of the ecosystem will ultimately slow the progress of Critical
Communications more than any specific technical decision.

CONCLUSION
 3GPP is encouraged to endorse a process that includes OMA,
and others, as a collaborator making technical contributions by
normative reference in the area of PCPS/MCPTT and other
future Critical Communications work.
