Abstract-In this paper, the authors present a novel solution for the integration of TETRA-based PMR and IP based wireless broadband networks through a novel inter-system interface. This solution enables secure group communications based on PMR standards using heterogeneous devices ranging from a traditional PMR device to smart phones such as the iPhone. Thereby a Smart-phone user will be enabled to leverage on one hand the multimedia data capabilities of 3G and 4G wireless networks (UMTS, LTE) while at the same time be part of a PMR group communication. In other words, any authorized Smart-phone can become part of a PMR communication group by simply downloading the appropriate, dedicated Application. As a key benefit, homeland security personnel can be included in the disaster response actions instantaneously, without necessarily carrying around a PMR device and without the need for PMR coverage. In contrast to existing solutions, the proposed interface solution prevents the reduction of the voice quality when bridging system boundaries by tandem encoding with a TETRA-over-IP (ToIP) interconnection. The presented solutions include different interconnection setups including Trunked Mode (TMO) and Direct Mode (DMO) capabilities. To enable the group communications services as known in PMR systems, a dedicated protocol, the Push-to-X protocol developed by CNI, is leveraged. The results of performance evaluations show that the speech quality is still acceptable even under harsh conditions. The proposed system therefore paves the way towards a future, high performance PMR based on LTE, while preserving backwards compatibility with existing PMR systems.

As the basis of Next Generation Public Safety Communication (PSC) systems for critical group communication, 4G (LTE) technologies have been chosen from the different stakeholder. Existing 2G and 3G equivalent technologies are and will be used to allow for a sufficient network coverage. Due to the long investment cycles within the public sector, for a long time small band 2G Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) networks will be the backbone of mission critical voice communication. To enable enhanced data exchange 4G networks will provide this capability as an add-on. It is a well known fact that every transmission technology has its own footprint of delay and delay-spread (jitter). This lead to challenges within heterogeneous system environments, because different behavior introduces unfairness into the system, negligent users in legacy networks. The proposed solution in this paper is based on the identification of the unique footprint of the used networks to increase the fairness. In this paper, the authors present an Active Delay Management (ADeM) PSC System that allows for critical group communication in next generation public safety communication network based on xG technologies. Therefore, the performance limitations of an IP overlay for heterogeneous communication networks have been studied and analyzed for different mobile radio technologies, based on mobile field trials performed in commercial 2G, 3G and 4G networks. Build upon this study, the gathered information is used to classify the transmission networks to enable the proposed ADeM system to actively consider network dependent delays in its Active Queue Management (AQM) decisions. Thereby, enhanced fairness for the different information streams as well as an improved performance in critical communication scenarios can be achieved.

“…En entornos heterogéneos y complejos, como los que se encuentran en la GE y la IC, la interoperabilidad es esencial para manejar los recursos involucrados y permitir una respuesta coordinada y colaborativa. [4] [63] Además, la interoperabilidad brinda a los responsables de tomar decisiones la información necesaria para definir y administrar continuamente las operaciones, documentar procedimientos, mitigar riesgos y proporcionar los datos necesarios a todos los involucrados para realizar las tareas asignadas [64]. El resultado es una mejora en la efectividad y calidad de las tareas en las diferentes fases de una crisis o investigación.…”

This thesis presents an in-depth analysis and innovative solutions to the challenges faced in Criminal Investigation (CI) and Emergency Management (EM), with a particular focus on interagency collaboration and data management in complex environments. The research begins by establishing the importance of effective collaboration between various agencies for efficient information management in the digital age, especially in the context of CI and EM. It highlights how the proliferation of digital content and massive data generation have transformed these fields, presenting both opportunities and significant challenges.The thesis thoroughly reviews the state of the art in these fields, identifying major limitations and opportunities for improvements. Critical aspects such as information management, Big Data (BD) technologies, rapid response in emergencies, interoperability, and collaboration between agencies, and technological challenges in complex systems are analyzed. Issues such as the management of heterogeneous data, resource scarcity and training, and challenges associated with data volume and complexity are also examined.In response to these challenges, an innovative architecture is proposed that addresses the efficiency and interoperability of current systems in crime prevention and resolution and in EM. This architecture is specifically tailored to the end-user needs of the MAGNETO and ASSISTANCE projects, efficiently integrating various software components and utilizing technologies such as RMI, SOAP, REST, and JMS. The transition to architectures based on microservices is emphasized, using an API Gateway to improve modularity and scalability.The applicability of this architecture is demonstrated in the MAGNETO and ASSISTANCE projects, where specific challenges are addressed. MAGNE-TO, focused on combating crime, integrates and analyzes data from various sources, while ASSISTANCE focuses on improving the Situational Awareness (SA) of First Responders (FR) through the integration of advanced technologies such as UAVs, robots, and virtual and augmented reality systems. Both projects demonstrate significant improvements in interagency collaboration and effectiveness in emergencies and crime fighting.
