Roles of the three European regulatory organizations
European Commission:
Single market issues
Binding regulations based on the
technical expertise of CEPT/ECC
and harmonised standards of ETSI
(28 Member States)
CEPT/ECC:
Consensus and voluntary character
Spectrum designation to
systems/applicatoins and technical
conditions for its use
(48 member countries)
ETSI:
European Harmonised standards (EN) for radio equipment
‘System Reference Documents’ (SRDoc) which inform and trigger much of
the CEPT/ECC work
(over 700 industry members &
and European naitonal regulators)
Regulatory actors on the scene of broadband PPDR harmonisation
European Commission
CEPT/ECC
FM49
LEWP-RCEG
Justice and Home Affairs
European Council
TETRA + Critical
Communications
Association
International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
ITU is the United Nations agency for ICT
ITU-R Working Party 5A is responsible for
Agenda Item 1.3 of WRC-15 (revision of regulatory
provisions for PPDR, including regionally harmonised
frequency bands)
ITU-R WP 5A acts as a global architect for shaping
the future look of broadband PPDR communications
ITU-R WP5D “IMT Systems” addresses the PPDR
needs from the IMT technologies perspective
European Commission
European Commission is setting out
policy priorities and long-term objectives
for wireless broadband, including Public Safety
Radio Spectrum Policy Programme (RSPP):
Article 8.3:
The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Member States, seek to ensure
that sufficient spectrum is made available under harmonised conditions to
support the development of safety services and the free circulation of related
devices as well as the development of innovative interoperable solutions for
public safety and protection, civil protection and disaster relief.
LEWP-RCEG (Home and Justice Affairs, European Council)
Radio Communications Expert Group of the
Law Enforcement Working Party is composed
of senior representatives from PPDR agencies and
regulatory authorities of EU and EFTA Members
LEWP-RCEG adopts statements setting out mid- to long-term
objectives based on the needs of European PPDR community
• Statement of LEWP-RCEG (October 2012):
LEWP-RCEG asks ECC/CEPT WGFM to take into account the PPDR
needs for a mission critical Broadband solution and for this purpose to
allocate harmonised frequencies
ETSI
European Telecommunications Standards
Institute develops Harmonised Standards (EN)
for telecommunication equipment, including for Public Safety
ETSI is also developing Technical Reports (TR) which both
support ETSI’s standardization work and CEPT’s spectrum
management activities (as SRDoc):
• ETSI TR 102 628 (SRDoc) on additional spectrum requirements for
public safety and security in the UHF frequency range (published in
2010, subject to update)
3GPP
3GPP provides technical environment for producing
LTE specifications, including for Public Safety
3GPP TSG Service and System Aspects (TSG-SA) is working
on the inclusion of PPDR specific features in 3GPP Release
12 (target date: September 2014), namely:
• Mission critical voice and data PTT group communication
capability (GCSE_LTE), and
• Direct device-to-device communications (ProSe*)
* It is likely that not all ProSe functionality will be included in 3GPP Rel-12;
some of the remaining functions will be specified in later 3GPP releases
TETRA + Critical Communications Association (TCCA)
TCCA is a forum for all professional users,
both Public Safety (mission critical)
and Utilities & Transport (business users)
TCCA is developing community’s:
• user requirements
• systems and architectures, and
• business cases
TCCA is communicating its needs from “first hands” to
regulatory bodies (first of all, to CEPT), to ensure
timely allocation of sufficient resources

Roadmap of the FM49 work
FM49’s main task: find harmonised radio spectrum for future
European broadband PPDR systems
• ECC Report ”A” (requirements) – May 2013
ECC Report ”B” (solutions) – planned for early 2015
• Support to ECC PT1 on PPDR parameters for CEPT Report in
response to European Commission Mandate on 700 MHz
• Support to CPG PTA in the CEPT preparatory work on
Agenda Item 1.3 of World Radio Conference -2015
ECC Report 199 (”A”)
ECC Report 199 (“A”) “User requirements and spectrum needs for
future European broadband PPDR systems (Wide Area Networks)”
(approved in May 2013)
ECC Report 199: three types of PPDR events (1)
PP1 (day-to-day operations)
Day-to-day operations encompass the routine operations that PPDR agencies conduct
within their jurisdiction. Most Public Protection spectrum and infrastructure requirements are
determined using this scenario.
ECC Report 199: three types of PPDR events (2)
PP2 (large emergency and/or public events)
The size and nature of the event may require additional PPDR resources from adjacent
jurisdictions, cross-border agencies, or international organisations.
A large fire encompassing 3-4 blocks in a large city (e.g. Paris, London) or a large forest fire
are examples of a large emergency under this scenario. Likewise, a large public event
(national or international) could include a G8 Summit, the Olympics, etc.
ECC Report 199: three types of PPDR events (3)
DR (Disaster Relief)
Can be those caused by either natural or human activity.
Natural disasters include an earthquake, major tropical storm, a major ice storm, floods, etc.
Examples of disasters caused by human activity include large-scale criminal incidences or
situations of armed conflict.

ECC Report 199: technical aspects
Technical aspects related to the estimates of the required spectrum:
•
In the values shown in the Tables only the uplink requirements are presented as they are
the most constraining (the downlink bandwidth is assumed to be of the same size).
•
The difference between the “low” / “less stringent case” and “medium” / “worst case”
estimates for PP1 and PP2 respectively is not in the traffic models (both correspond to
the identical throughput) but in the spectral efficiency assumptions.
•
The assumed relatively high value of the uplink spectrum efficiency at the cell edge (0.31
bit/s/Hz) is mainly justified by the need to enable the provision of broadband PPDR
applications, first of all real-time video, at the cell edge under the envisaged limited
amount of spectrum potentially available for BB PPDR.
•
The main implication of this assumption is the requirement for more base stations in the
future BB PPDR WAN, in particular in the urban environment. However a trade-off
between the uniform ‘broadband coverage’ and the cost of the network is possible at the
stage of the network radio planning.
•
DMO and mission critical voice have not been taken into account in the calculations. The
provision of these services within the BB PPDR network may require additional spectrum.

PPDR at the international level
• Urge European regulators to make spectrum available
for broadband PPDR in a timely manner, to ensure
interoperable and affordable provision of PPDR
services, for the sake of European citizens
