ETS
6、 is intended for use in a variety of networks and provides priority call/session setup capabilities that are used to support emergency response/recovery activities and disaster responders. ETS provides priority connectivity for any authorized user from any originating point in the public network and
7、 to any destination point in the public network. It includes support of priority connectivity and communications across multiple network types (e.g., circuit-switched networks, wireless network/mobile radio access, cable, satellite, or packet-based multi-media networks). ETS provides priority handli
8、ng for all access types, network call setup, and delivery of the call, including priority handling of all associated signaling generated in conjunction with an ETS call (including queries and corresponding responses). This Technical Report includes an overview of ETS, descriptions of ETS from the en
9、d user perspective and in various types of networks. Information flows are included describing the access, intranetwork signaling, and internetwork signaling. A high-level description of security aspects of ETS is also included. ATIS-1000005 ii FOREWORD The Alliance for Telecommunication Industry So
10、lutions (ATIS) serves the public through improved understanding between carriers, customers, and manufacturers. The Packet Technologies and Systems Committee (PTSC) - formerly T1S1 - develops and recommends standards and technical reports related to services, architectures, and signaling, in additio
11、n to related subjects under consideration in other North American and international standards bodies. PTSC coordinates and develops standards and technical reports relevant to telecommunications networks in the U.S., reviews and prepares contributions on such matters for submission to U.S. ITU-T and
12、 U.S. ITU-R Study Groups or other standards organizations, and reviews for acceptability or per contra the positions of other countries in related standards development and takes or recommends appropriate actions. ATIS guidelines specify two categories of requirements: mandatory and recommendation.
13、The mandatory requirements are designated by the word shall and recommendations by the word should. Where both a mandatory requirement and a recommendation are specified for the same criterion, the recommendation represents a goal currently identifiable as having distinct compatibility or performanc
14、e advantages. Suggestions for improvement of this document are welcome. They should be sent to the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions, PTSC Secretariat, and 1200 G Street NW, Suite 500, Washington, DC 20005. The Signalling, Architecture, and Control (SAC) Subcommittee was responsible
15、 for the development of this document.

25、05 Technical Report for Telecommunications Service Description of ETS 1 1 SCOPE This Technical Report (TR) contains a service description of the Emergency Telecommunications Service (ETS). ETS is intended for use in a variety of networks and provides preferential call/session setup capabilities that
26、 are used to support emergency response/recovery activities and disaster responders. ETS provides preferential connectivity for any authorized user from any originating point in the public network and to any destination point in the public network. It includes support of preferential connectivity an
27、d communications across multiple network types (e.g., circuit-switched networks, wireless network/mobile radio access, cable, satellite, or packet-based multi-media networks). ETS includes priority for all access types, network call setup, and delivery of the call. In addition, ETS requires specific
28、 non-call associated signaling and higher priority handling of all related non-call associated signaling. In addition to providing a common service description across multiple types of networks, this TR is intended to provide a snapshot for different network types of: 1. Internetwork interfaces, 2.
29、Network architectures, 3. Information flows, 4. High-level descriptions of the associated protocol and procedures, and 5. Interactions with other services/capabilities (e.g., IEPS, HPC). The specific features of ETS communications include, but are not limited to: 1. Ubiquitous Access: This allows ET
30、S to be accessible by authorized users from any location and any terminal equipment. 2. Selection of multimedia and telephony services: This includes providing the calling party with access to both multimedia and telephony services. This feature is limited within this Technical Report to telephony s
31、ervices. 3. International connectivity where supported by law and agreement: This includes the capability to interconnect to other similar national services as well as the capability to interwork with the International Emergency Preference Scheme (IEPS). 4. Rapid authentication of authorized ETS use
32、rs, early in the call/session setup process and indicated in the forward direction to subsequent networks: This is intended to protect the network from corruption and from intrusion. 5. Security protection of ETS traffic: This includes providing security at least at the level of an ordinary call. 6.
33、 Preferential access to telecommunications facilities: This facilitates delivering a request for ETS service to a network when available access resources are scarce. 7. Preferential establishment of ETS communications through multiple network types. 8. Preferential routing of ETS traffic: This may i
34、nclude features such as queuing for available resources, exemption from certain restrictive network management functions and reservation of some routes specifically for ETS traffic. ATIS-1000005 2 9. Preferential completion of ETS traffic to the destination end user. 10. Optional preemption of non-e
35、mergency traffic (where consistent and compliant with local, national and regulatory provisions, for example, not interfering with E911 calls, etc.). 11. Allowable degradation of service quality requested for an ETS call/session to increase the probability that it will be successfully set up. This f
36、eature does not apply in the PSTN. 12. Allowable degradation of service quality for established traffic to increase the probability that a new ETS call/session will be successfully set up. This feature does not apply in the PSTN. 13. Interchange of critical telecommunications service management info
37、rmation, e.g., to facilitate restoring service levels for ETS traffic on a priority basis. 14. OAM GSM Network Architecture. 2. 3GPP TS 23.228, Technical Specification Group Services and System Aspects; IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Stage 2. Work on Wireless Priority Service (WPS) is underway in the
38、 Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and TIA TR 45.2. Refer to 3GPP TR 22.952, Priority Service Guide (Release 6) and TIA TR 45.2 draft PN-3-0054, WPS Enhancements for CDMA Systems for more details. In addition, studies on the feasibility of interworking between 3GPP systems and Wireless Loc
39、al Area Networks (WLANs) are underway in 3GPP. Refer to 3GPP TR 22.934 V6.2.0 for more details. Similarly, 3GPP2 is in the process of specifying interworking between 3GPP2 systems and WLANs. Refer to draft 3GPP2: X.0028 for more details. Signalling and Bearer Interfaces to other NetworksBSC MSC/VLR

41、TS in wireless/mobile networks includes capabilities identified for the PSTN and preferential/priority capabilities in the originating and terminating radio access segments. Specifically, supporting ETS in wireless/mobile networks involves (but is not limited to) the following: 1. Capability to auth
42、enticate and authorize ETS call requests. 2. Capability to identify and signal an ETS call as it is set-up through the network. 3. Use of higher MTP message priority value for SS7 messages to increase the probability of successful message transfer during SS7 signaling network congestion. 11 ATIS-100
43、0005 4. Support for preference/priority schemes in trunking and in the packet-based transport core network. 5. Support for preference/priority schemes for signaling and bearer interactions. 6. Exemption of ETS calls from restrictive network management control to increase probability of successful ca
44、ll completion. 7. Support for preference/priority schemes for originating and terminating radio access. 8. Support for ETS call request queuing for a radio traffic channel, when needed. 9. Optional ETS-specific signals to the end user. 5.1.4.4 IP Cable Network Figure 7: IP Cable Network Figure 7 ill

In addition, ITU-T SG 9 is working on support of ETS both within IPCablecom Networks and between IPCablecom networks and other networks
48、 such as the PSTN and the evolving packet-switched networks. 12 ATIS-1000005 The call signaling interfaces associated with Figure 7 are shown in Figure 8 and are briefly described in Table 1.
