Interoperability Different needs From citizens in commercial networks to FR private networks Interoperability levels Organizational Regional/national/cross-border Main aspects to consider Practices Information Security Legislation OAM procedures Technical interoperability Current incompatibilities (technologies, implementations) Backwards compatibility Convergence Information Exchange User groups, identities, security constrains, location 8
Requirements and Design principles R1: Address different types of PMRs and citizens. R2: Basic and enhanced services. R3: Interoperability of both legacy and next generation emergency networks R4: Internal access to enhanced services with legacy equipment. R5: Ensure autonomous (perorganization) management. R6: Preserve Information ownership/access rights. R7: Easily allow trans-national/regional communications. R8: Enable the connection of significantly different organizations. R9: Allow different business models. R10: Integrate recording and location tracking capabilities. R11: Harmonize user priorities. R12: Not affect existing internal procedures. R13: Ensure efficient operation. R14: Permit the integration of an intermediary control room for emergency communications. DP1: Multi-domain ecosystem DP2: Standardized IP based core network DP3: Optimized technology independent operations DP4: Enable IP-Level Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) DP5: Session Border Control-like DP6: Common technology independent naming and call routing. DP7: Avoid any assumption. DP8: Scalability DP9: Controlled access DP10: Orchestrate the use of resources DP11: Flexible multi-level dispatching. DP12: Rely on OAM for interagencies operations. DP13: Enable recording and location tracking mechanisms. DP14: Ease citizens access to the interoperability services. 9
