Annex 1 Public warning systems for broadcasting 1 Introduction This Annex presents an overview of public warning systems in the broadcasting service. 2 Outline of public warning systems for broadcasting Broadcasters have two functions in disaster management. One is gathering or rec
30、eiving information from disaster radiocommunication networks connected to administrative organizations. The exclusive line connected to administrative organizations is preferably to be used for urgent alerts and such information as earthquake and tsunami data. The other function is delivering inform
31、ation to the general public. Some municipalities in some countries may have a multicasting system to outdoor receivers with loudspeakers in their own disaster radiocommunication network. However, it may be difficult to hear the sound indoors, especially in bad weather such as storms or heavy rain. T
32、herefore, disaster alerts and information via broadcasting is particularly useful in such situations. 3 Emergency warning system for analogue broadcasting The system should use relatively simple equipment to ensure stable operations. In an emergency, the EWS control signal, which is an analogue sign
33、al, automatically activates the receivers equipped with the EWS function even when they are standby. Depending on its characteristics, the EWS control signal might also be used as an alarm sound to draw the attention of listeners/viewers to the emergency broadcasting programme. Broadcasters operatin
34、g analogue platforms can transmit the EWS control signal. The EWS control signal could include an area code as well as a time code, keeping the receiver protected from intentionally fake control signals. For a specific EWS for analogue sound broadcasting, an EWS control signal as described in Annex
35、2 is recommended, for automatic activation of receivers compliant with the systems described in Appendix 1 to Annex 1 for public warning, disaster mitigation and relief. 4 Rec. ITU-R BO.1774-2 4 Emergency warning system for digital broadcasting In digital broadcasting, the EWS control signal is tran
36、smitted by multiplexing with the broadcast signal. It automatically activates the receivers equipped with the EWS function when they are in standby mode. The EWS control signal should be robust against the abuse of this feature. It is foreseen that digital broadcast receivers will be installed in mo
37、bile terminals such as cellular phones, being an effective way to send emergency information to such terminals. Therefore, it would be advantageous for such terminals to be equipped with the EWS function. Appendix 1 to Annex 1 Examples of public warning systems for broadcasting 1 Introduction This A
38、ppendix presents a system overview and the current status of public warning systems in the broadcasting service in some countries/regions. 2 Emergency Warning System This section describes the Emergency Warning System (EWS), for public warning systems via broadcasting platforms. 2.1 EWS for analogue
39、 sound broadcasting 2.1.1 Overview The composition of a typical emergency warning system is shown in Fig. 1. In an emergency situation, the control signal breaks into the programme signal, to activate the EWS receivers automatically, even when they are in standby mode. The audio level of the control
40、 signal is higher than the normal programme signal level. The control signal can also be used for the alarm sound. The system configuration should be simple for quick and reliable activation. Rec. ITU-R BO.1774-2 5 FIGURE 1 Composition of emergency warning system for analogue broadcasting When the E
41、WS receiver detects the control signal, the alarm will sound, to draw the attention of listeners to the emergency broadcast. The control signal can be transmitted to MW and FM receivers. The control signal includes an area code as well as a time code, thereby protecting the EWS receiver against mali
42、cious or fake control signals. 2.1.2 Operation of EWS The following table shows the two different start signals which can be used according to the emergency situation: Example emergency situation Start signal Area code (1) Large-scale earthquake warning Category I Nationwide (2) Medium-scale earthqu
43、ake warning Category I Prefecture or wide area (3) Tsunami warning Category II Nationwide, or regional Category I activates all EWS receivers in the service area. Category II activates only the relevant EWS receivers. In cases (1) and (2), broadcasters transmit the Category I start signal. In case (
44、3), broadcasters transmit the Category II start signal, as inland users do not need to evacuate. After the emergency warning message, broadcasters transmit the end signal, which may be used to return EWS receivers to their previous state. 2.1.3 Specification and configuration of EWS signal The modul
45、ation method of the EWS signal is the frequency shift keying (FSK) method with a space frequency of 640 Hz and a mark frequency of 1 024 Hz. The allowable frequency deviation is plus or minus ten parts per million in each case. The transmission speed of the EWS signal is 64 bits per second and the d
46、eviation is ten parts per million. Signal distortion is below 5%. The configurations of the Category I start signal and Category II start signal are shown in Fig. 2, and that of the end signal is shown in Fig. 3. 6 Rec. ITU-R BO.1774-2 FIGURE 2 Configuration of Category I and II start signal FIGURE
47、3 Configuration of end signal Notes for Figs. 2 and 3: 1 Fixed code consists of a 16-bit code inherent in the EWS signal. It is used to extract the EWS signals from sound signals. Furthermore, it is used to distinguish between the Category I and Category II start signal. 2 Area classification code i
48、s used for EWS receiver operation in specified regions. The purpose of this code is to avert the activation of EWS receivers in other areas by abnormal propagation of broadcasts. 3 Year/month/day/time classification code is used to transmit real-time information to prevent the activation of receiver
49、s by fake signals. It is recorded and retransmitted after the EWS signals have been transmitted. 2.2 Digital emergency warning system (digital EWS) This section introduces details regarding the digital emergency warning system (digital EWS) using digital television broadcasting. In digital television broadcasting, the EWS signal is transmitted by multiplexing it with the broadcast signal, in the same way as with analogue sound broadcasting. Television receivers can also be turned on automatically when they detect the EWS signal, even if they are in standby mode. Rec. ITU-R BO.1774-2
