12、ns, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications
13、 on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid
14、 down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

22、tions service (ETS) interoperability that may prevent ETS users from taking full advantage of new capabilities in modern user terminals (i.e., smartphones), public communication networks and applications (e.g., fourth generation (4G) mobile broadband networks using voice over long term evolution/ric
23、h communication services (VoLTE/RCS) applications). This TR identified and analysed a comprehensive list of telecommunications services and features for ETS interoperability limitations. The identified limitations comprise not only the interfaces between ETS national implementations (ENIs) supportin
24、g the ETSs considered, but also foreseen interoperability problems due to current lack of support for such telecommunication services in ENIs with different technologies. The description of interoperability limitations includes both a technical analysis of standardized interfaces and use cases to il

Q series Supplement 68 (12/2015) 1 Supplement 68 to ITU-T Q-series Recommendations Technical Report on emergency telecommunications service (ETS) interoperability limitations 1 Scope According to ITU-T Recommendations, an emergency telecommunications service (ETS)
26、 is a national service providing priority telecommunications to the ETS authorized users in times of disaster and emergencies. Concretely, the scope of ETS involves authority-to-authority communications designed to respond to emergency situations through prioritized access to public telecommunicatio
27、ns infrastructures i.e., the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or public land mobile network (PLMN) as described in ITU-T Y.2205. More specifically, Figure 1 of ITU-T Y.2205 constricts the scope of ITU-T activities concerning emergency telecommunications to telecommunications for disaster rel
28、ief (TDR) and interconnection of ETS national implementations (ENIs). Figure 1 ITU-T activities concerning emergency telecommunications (Figure 1 of ITU-T Y.2205) In that sense, fostering the interconnection of different emergency-related authorities that may belong to different countries or interna
29、tional organizations is of utmost relevance in this type of event. One of the challenges is how to address a common interconnection framework taking into account that the ETS national implementations (ENI) are subject to national regulations. This Supplement aims to analyse possible limitations of s
30、uch a standardized framework when applied to complex multimedia services. 2 References ITU-T E.105 Recommendation ITU-T E.105 (1992), International telephone service.
