Abstract
The purpose of this presentation is to
determine interest in the formation of an
IEEE 802 Study Group about
Emergency Service (ES) provision
Submissions

IEEE 802 ES Background
• Maturing IEEE 802 technologies carry VoIP traffic and it’s only a
matter of time before regulations insist they support emergency
services. (FCC & EU commission proposals)
• IEEE 802 technologies by themselves cannot ensure that all factors are
compatible for Emergency Service sessions to actually take place.
• Therefore, it’s essential to distinguish between the minimum level of
support provided by IEEE 802 emergency services, and support of
emergency services at higher layers.
• By “IEEE 802 Emergency Services” we refer to the direct support in
IEEE 802 of such services, independently of what solutions are
adopted at higher protocol layers.
• Under all circumstances, changes to IEEE 802 should be kept to the
minimum necessary.
Submissions

Do What?
• To initiate a Study Group
– WGSG: Technology specific, 802.1, 802.21?
– ECSG: Harmonized approach to ES in all 802 groups
• This study will take into account regulatory issues and
the architecture requirements of NENA i2 & i3, IETF
ECRIT and 3GPP/3GPP2 architecture requirements on
radio access technologies.
• Attempt to pre-empt upcoming regulatory issues
• Determine what aspects of ES would benefit from a
harmonized approach across all IEEE 802.
• Prepare a PAR for ES provision enhancements, if study
shows there is a need.
Submissions
Slide 4

Relevant Requirements
• Ability to support ES calls
– (various media types)
• Support for callback
• Unauthenticated calls (no credentials in terminal)
– Roaming and non roaming
• Emergency Alert System (EAS) service
• Authority – authority communications
• Citizen – citizen communications
• Location (Automatic Location Identifier)
– Common Approach
• Note: This is not a location provisioning study group
Submissions

ES Interest
• Initial interest in ES within 802.11
• Other interest from 802.1
– LLDP-MED is a adopted wired solution with location support.
• Subsequent interest from 802.21 (802 handover)
– Provision of ES Information Server
• Some interest from 802.15 (15.4) and 802.16
– ZigBee and 802.16d (fixed) community
• Additional Information
– IEEE 802 Tutorials at March and July 2007 plenary meetings.
Attendance ~150
– Liaisons between IEEE 802.11u, NENA and IETF ECRIT
• e.g. <draft-tschofenig-ecrit-unauthenticated-access-00.txt>
Submissions

ES Study Group
• Future work
– Study group will consider
•
•
•
•
existing work in this area
industry input
network and service provider input
what do regulators require
• Defined Goals and Timeframe
– To determine what work, if any, is necessary to enable
an 802 harmonized approach to emergency service
provision
• Timeframe
– 2 plenary cycles, to investigate PAR definition
Submissions
Slide 7

Background/Relevant Aspects
IEEE 802.1
• LLDP-MED currently supports automatic physical
location discovery suitable for wired 802 networks
• 802.1AB-Rev work in process could allow location
discovery to be leveraged across all 802 technologies
Submissions
Slide 8
Stephen McCann, NSN
November 2007
IEEE 802.11p
• Supports Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
applications. This includes data exchange between
high-speed vehicles and between the vehicles and the
roadside infrastructure in the licensed ITS band of 5.9
GHz.
• ES from vehicles to authority (eCALL blackbox)
• Authority – authority vehicle comms
Submissions
Slide 9
Stephen McCann, NSN
November 2007
IEEE 802.11u
• New QoS features
– expedited bandwidth request
– QoS mapping
• Generic Advertising Service (GAS)
• Emergency services recommendations (informative)
– Use case #1: open network
– Use case #2: public credentials
Submissions
Slide 10
Stephen McCann, NSN
November 2007
IEEE 802.11v
• Reliable Location Determination
• Capability information includes
– Format (Civic, Geo – shapes not points, Location by
Reference…etc)
– Encoding and Resolution
– Capable of providing
• self-location
• remote-location
Submissions
Slide 11
Stephen McCann, NSN
November 2007
IEEE 802.21
•
Information Server
– logical place to support a comprehensive list of all ES support options.
•
Mobility support
– assisting handovers during an ES session
•
Location
– Service providers need flexibility on how location services are offered in
their network
– Provides help in determining or provide the location to the clients at
various layers
•
•
Submissions
Link layer specific ones (Layer 2)
Link layer agnostic ones (Layer 3+)
Slide 12

• 802.16/20/22
– Location Determination
• NG911
– Support for non-voice ES connections (e.g. text messaging, email,
video)
Submissions
