Review of Draft NENA i3 Stage 3 Standard
– On May 7, 2010, ATIS provided comments from joint review by
WTSC/ESIF/PTSC/PRQC/NGIIF to NENA
NOVES
– Support for 3GPP Study on Non-voice emergency services
• Currently, TS 22.101 service requirements for emergency calls (with or
without the IP Multimedia Core Network) are limited to voice media. The
Non Voice Emergency Services is intended to be an end-to-end citizen to
authority communications.

CMAS Update
• Since the completion of the Commercial Mobile Service Alert
Advisory Committee (CMSAAC) and release of the FCC Report &
Orders for CMAS, the industry has been engaged in a joint effort
with government on developing a set of standards to support the
Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS)
• This 28+ month effort to date has resulted is a series of standards
based on Cell Broadcast technology for realizing the FCC Rules &
the CMSAAC Recommendations.
– Cell Broadcast is the technology chosen by operators, handset vendors,
and infrastructure vendors to realize CMAS after careful & unbiased
analysis of all possible technologies
– Cell Broadcast is a global standard that will support the Public Warning
System defined in international standards
• These standards meet and even exceed the FCC rules, and are
jointly supported by industry (operators, handset vendors,
infrastructure vendors) as well as government (DHS, FEMA)

ATIS IIF Standards
• Issue 51 (Active)
– IPTV EAS Update and Maintenance, provide one or more
supplements (addendums) and/or a full revision of the
Emergency Alert Provisioning Specification
• IPTV EAS Metadata Requirements (ATIS-0800012)
– Defines an XML schema used for delivery of emergency alert
signaling and information to the IPTV service provider’s EAS
Ingestion System (EIS), and for delivery of alert information and
signaling to the IPTV Terminal Function on the consumer
premesis
• Emergency Alert Service Provisioning (ATIS-0800010)
– Network operators need a standard interface for use with
various governmental agencies in the provisioning of
Emergency Alert Service (EAS); goal is to deliver important
emergency alerts to any person using the IPTV service,
independent of activity

ATIS NGIIF Overview
• The ATIS Next Generation Interconnection Interoperability
Forum (NGIIF) addresses next-generation network
interconnection and interoperability issues associated with
emerging technologies. Specifically, it develops operational
procedures which involve the network aspects of
architecture, disaster preparedness, installation,
maintenance, management, reliability, routing, security, and
testing between network operators. In addition, the NGIIF
addresses issues which impact the interconnection of existing
and next generation networks and facilitate the transition to
emerging technologies.
• NGIIF Co-Chairs: Ann Marie Cederberg (Qwest) and Karen
Riepenkroger (Sprint Nextel)

ATIS NGIIF Issue
• Need for Emergency Notification Best Practices
A recent tropical storm and the actions of a sheriff’s department
illustrate the ramifications of unthrottled emergency notifications.
In an effort to notify 6,000 residents, the sheriff’s office launched
55,000 calls in a 5 minute period. This incident compromised the
access tandem which received traffic from at least two Interexchange
carriers.
The local exchange which serves the community in question was also
compromised. Outgoing as well as incoming traffic was blocked by this
event.

of technical and/or operational issues related to the
interconnection of emergency services networks with other
networks (e.g., wireline, cable, satellite, Internet, etc.)
• The ESIF Next Generation Emergency Services (NGES)
Subcommittee was created to address NG9-1-1 related
issues

ESIF NGES Focus
• The ESIF NGES Subcommittee:
– Focuses on addressing issues related to Next Generation
Emergency Services (i.e., VoIP, IMS, LTE, FMC, etc.)
– Provides Industry Liaisons with global Standards
Development Organizations (SDOs) to communicate ESIF
requirements, clarify directions, and respond to queries on
“North American” emergency service related issues
– Provides standards development coordination for next
generation emergency services with other ATIS
Committees (PTSC, WTSC, PRQC, etc.)

ESIF NGES Standards
• Issue 49, ATIS-0500017, “Considerations for an Emergency
Services Next Generation Network (ES-NGN)”
– Provides ATIS Gap Analysis for the NGN and also for developing
Emergency Services standards for interconnection with the ATIS
NGN.
– The term ES-NGN is used to define an emergency services
architecture based upon the ATIS definition of NGN.
– Identifies standards and standards activities that are relevant
to the evolution of emergency services networks in the
context of next generation telecommunications networks. In
addition, it identifies potential gaps where standards need to
be developed in order to complete the definition of
emergency services in next generation networks. The focus of
this Technical Report is the interconnection between the ESNGN and networks that originate emergency calls. It also
discusses connectivity to PSAPs and legacy emergency
services networks.

ESIF NGES Standards
• Issue 63, ATIS-0500019, “Request for Assistance
Interface (RFAI) Standard”
– Developed a protocol for interfacing between an IP Selective
Router (IPSR) (located within the ES-NGN) and an IP PSAP
• American National Standard (ANS) for the RFAI targeted for EOY
2010 (Issue 67)
• The protocol will be tested by several IPSR and IP PSAP CPE vendors
at the May 2010 NENA ICE 2 for interoperability/conformance.
– The protocol enables to transition from today’s legacy
network environment to an IP infrastructure.
– The protocol enables the use of p-ANI as a location query key
to obtain initial location and subsequent location updates
from the ALI database.
– ESIF NGES developed standardization activities around the
specification of the requirements, architecture, call flows and
profiles for the RFAI protocol.

Current ESIF NGES Issues
• Issue 66:
– Developing an ATIS Standard for Emergency Services Network-toNetwork Interface Standard (ES-NNI), which is a companion
document of the ATIS (PTSC) IP Network-to-Network Interface
(NNI) for VoIP Standard (ATIS-1000009.2006)
– Addresses the interconnection of IP originating networks with the
ATIS NGN in support of emergency services
– Extends the ATIS NNI Standard for Emergency Services (i.e., the
“Mm” Interface from the 3GPP IMS Emergency Services
architecture from TS 23.167 for North America)
– The protocol enables the transfer of a call using location by
reference and location by value along with call back capabilities
and other functionalities that are required for emergency services
– The protocol will support Multimedia in a future version
– ESIF will provide its document for review by other SDOs
