Highlights (1)

2Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

General EC Types N. America Example ATIS Standards Role*

Citizen-to-Authority E911 E911 for wireless, VoIP, NGN, NG911 – in ESIF, PTSC, WTSC, NIIF, INC, PRQC

Authority-to-Citizen Emergency Alert System (EAS); Commercial Mobile Alert Service (CMAS); Emergency Notification System (ENS)

EAS for IPTV – in IIF; CMAS and ENS for wireless – in WTSC; ENS – for wireline voice in NIIF, PTSC

Authority-to-Authority

ETS (Priority Services in support of National Security & Emergency Preparedness)

ETS – in PTSC, PRQC, WTSC, NIIF and TMOC

* See Supplementary Slides (11-14) for details regarding these ATIS committees


Highlights (2)Citizen-to-Authority (E911)

Focus on NG911 (e.g., NGN/IMS and Location Parameter Acquisition, Conveyance Architecture, and Protocols) and various near term/legacy matters (e.g., routing number administration for VoIP and wireless, NG Messaging to NG911)

Authority-to-Citizen (EAS, CMAS, ENS)Focus on emergency notification standards support for various technologies:

IPTV EAS requirements and metadataWireless CMAS functions and interfaces:

Common aspects (i.e., Gov-to-Service Provider [gateway-to-gateway] interface, and mobile device behavior) done in collaboration with TIAGSM/UMTS/LTE specific aspects

Wireline ENS best practices

Authority-to-Authority (ETS)Focus on ETS for NGN and VoIP and Data (incremental standards and standards changes)

ETS service and security standards/recommendations in both ATIS and ITU



Strategic Direction

Work in response to regulatory mandates and statutory changesWork proactively with DHS/NCS to define Industry Requirements and Standards in support of ETSWork proactively to support Public Safety needs

Public Safety Endorsement of LTE for 700MHz broadband

Focus on regional needs (North America) and in coordination with global directionsCoordinate/collaborate with other organizations where appropriate (e.g., 3GPP, TIA, ITU, IETF, NENA, etc.)


5Fostering worldwide interoperability 5Geneva, 13-16 July 2009

Working at the nexus where law, regulation, technology, social trends, and standards come togetherDelivering standards to satisfy aggressive regulatory mandate target dates such that reliable implementations can be deployed (per target dates)Regarding E911, the NG911 standards can get far ahead of deployments given that there are 6,000+ PSAPs and there are generally different deployment timeframes

Messaging to NG911 is receiving significant interestRegarding CMAS, development of an interface document to the Federal Government, and possible resulting impacts on standards (i.e., alert aggregation, system upgrades, testing, human behavior, etc.)Regarding ETS, providing priority routing/processing for NGN Services, including data services (e.g., messaging, email, etc.), enhanced authentication, authentication assurance, and Identity Management

Challenges


Complete currently defined work programContinue appropriate changes to current standards suiteContinue to proactively support Public Safety stakeholder needs Respond (at appropriate time) to additional Public Safety and FCC regulations (e.g., regarding NG911 and Messaging to NG911)Continue with cross-organizational coordination and collaborationContinue with Emergency Services Coordination Workshops (Citizen-to-Authority)Participate in Government CMAS Stakeholder Forum

Overview of Emergency Communications Work in ATIS

ATIS committee work is in support of initiatives by:

FCC/Federal governmentRegional/State governments andLocal governments

ATIS committees also act as a feeder group to the ITU-T in support of international general emergency communication services


ATIS Involvement with FCC – CMAS

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commercial Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee (CMSAAC)

ATIS was a member of the FCC advisory committee, which completed in October 2007Advisory Committee recommendations was the basis for the FCC rules for CMAS

ATIS is working closely with the government (DHS, FEMA) on the development of an interface specification to the Federal Alert Gateway


Committee/Forum Mission/Scope

Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF): The mission of ESIF is to provide a forum to facilitate the identification and resolution of technical and/or operational issues related to the interconnection of wireline, wireless, cable, satellites, Internet and emergency services networks.

http://www.atis.org/esif Industry Numbering Committee (INC): INC is a standing committee of the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) that provides an open forum to address and resolve industry-wide issues associated with planning, administration, allocation, assignment and use of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) numbering resources within the NANP area.

http://www.atis.org/inc/index.asp IPTV Interoperability Forum (IIF): The IIF enables the interoperability, interconnection, and implementation of IPTV systems/services by developing ATIS standards and facilitating related technical activities. This forum will place an emphasis on North American and ATIS Member Company needs in coordination with other regional and international standards development organizations.

http://www.atis.org/iif/index.asp



Network Interconnection Interoperability Forum (NIIF): NIIF provides an open forum to encourage the discussion and resolution, on a voluntary basis, of industry-wide issues associated with telecommunications network interconnection and interoperability which involve network architecture, management, testing and operations and facilitates the exchange of information concerning these topics.

http://www.atis.org/niif/index.asp Network Performance, Reliability, & QoS Committee (PRQC): PRQC Develops and recommends standards related to the performance, reliability, and associated security aspects of communications networks, as well as the processing of voice, audio, data, image, and video signals, and their multimedia integration.

http://www.atis.org/0010/index.asp



Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC): Mission - Develops and recommends standards related to services, architectures, and signaling, in addition to related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies.

http://www.atis.org/0191/index.aspTelecom Management and Operations Committee (TMOC): TMOC develops operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning standards, and other documentation related to Operations Support System (OSS) and Network Element (NE) functions and interfaces for communications networks - with an emphasis on standards development related to U.S.A. communication networks in coordination with the development of international standards.




Wireless Technologies and Systems Committee (WTSC): WTSC develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to wireless and/or mobile services and systems, including service descriptions and wireless technologies. WTSC develops and recommends positions on related subjects under consideration in other North American, regional and international standards bodies.
