“…Another network and service related enhancement in 3GPP Rel-11 is the multimedia emergency service (MMES), which utilizes the real-time session-based next-generation text, voice, and other multimedia between citizens and emergency authorities [4]. However, lack of signaling protocols to identify priority and authorization, message session relay protocols and industrial efforts to standardize the media format and protocols in which such services will be based have severely slowed down the deployment process.…”

The emerging fifth generation (5G) communication network is gaining tremendous attention from mobile network operators, regulators, and academia due to the provisions of network densification, ultra-low latency and improved spectral and energy efficiencies. However, post-disaster emergency management system (EMS), which nowadays predominantly depends on the wireless communication infrastructure, is significantly lagging behind in terms of innovation, standards, and investments. Since 5G vision is the revolution of the telecommunication industry, provisions of efficiently handling EMS is expected to be distributed, autonomous, and resilient to the network vulnerabilities due to both man-made and natural disasters. In this paper, the 4G LTE approaches for typical post-disaster communication and their shortcomings will be discussed. We elaborate three typical post-disaster network scenarios when the network is congested, partly functional or completely isolated. The possible solution framework, for instance, Device-to-Device communication, drone-assisted communication, mobile ad hoc networks and Internet-of-Things, for post-disaster scenario will be discussed. Given that the spectrum allocation is critical for EMS, we assess the possible schemes for radio resource allocation specific for EMS in addition to the social responsibility of users in such critical situations. between source and destination terminals is relatively higher. Moreover, the intermediate users may need to sacrifice the scarce energy for others which are not an ideal situation during postdisaster. The proposed 5G framework should consider such cases while designing distributed, autonomous and resilient multihop communication for EMS in order to preserve and ensure reliable communication among users.2) Drone-assisted Communication: Drones, or UAVs, are able to significantly assist in postdisaster communication by acting as a flying BS as shown in Fig. 4. One of the advantages of implementing drones to replace dysfunctional BSs is that it is likely to exist direct line-of-sight communication between users and flying drones. This results in improvement on the channel propagation due to the low path-loss and minimum shadowing, which helps to improve the QoR required for emergency communication. Moreover, the drone trajectory can be optimized depending on the predicted traffic pattern and user distribution. The network of UAVs not only acts as a radio access network but also the backhaul network for D2D communication, MANETs and other isolated users. In a typical post-disaster scenarios, UAVs can be used as UAV-

“…A recent increase in the usage of novel mobile applications has led to the continuous traffic increase and skyrocketing bandwidth demands [1]. In response, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardized Long-Term Evolution/ Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) technology has evolved as the next generation of the mobile communication technology [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Designers of the LTE/LTE-A technology have announced Evolved Packet System (EPS) as the Fourth Generation (4G) of the mobile communication network, which has been recently deployed worldwide and its installations and applications (Machine type Communications, Internet of Things) are increasing rapidly.…”

Long-Term Evolution/Long-Term Evolution Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) is the latest mobile communication technology that is offering high data rates and robust performance to the subscribers. Since LTE/ LTE-A standards are established on the Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity and provide compatibility with the heterogeneous networks, these new features create availability of the new security challenges in the LTE/LTE-A networks. Taking into consideration the issues of serious signalling congestion and security loopholes in LTE/ LTE-A networks, the authors propose an Efficient Authentication and Key Agreement Protocol for Evolved Packet System (EAKA-EPS) with secure handover procedures. The proposed protocol achieves outstanding results in terms of the optimization of computation and signalling overhead. With this, the protocol guarantees the needed security requirements like protected wireless interface and strong mutual authentication between the entities, and ensures access stratum secrecy at the time of handovers. The formal verification results of the proposed scheme over the security verification and simulation tool ''Automated Validation of Internet Security Protocols and Applications (AVISPA)'' show that the suggested protocol is safe against various malicious attacks, which are still possible in LTE/LTE-A networks. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the suggested approach is the first approach that provides perfect secrecy with less computation and communication overhead in the LTE/LTE-A networks.

“…In [2] the different business models are covered including user-owned user-operated (UO-UO), user-owned commercialoperated (UO-CO) and commercial-owner commercial operator (CO-CO). A similar outline on alternative approaches to adapting LTE for broadband data services with the security and reliability of PMR is proposed in [3]. The drive for partnerships to reduce the cost of deployment of a network and partnerships that generate revenue which can fund the sustainability of the networks are highlighted in [4].…”

Increase in demand for broadband data services in the public safety domain is driving mobile network operators to consider different strategic options to deliver mission critical requirements. Utility service providers requiring enhanced data services for specialist applications are also being driven in a similar way. Partnering with existing commercial LTE network operators and providing these services as a mobile virtual network operator is being considered as a short term tactical solution within a long term strategic view in light of pending standards development. The scheduled release of these developments means that use cases comparable or equivalent to those delivered in TETRA networks will take time to be full realizable. To align with the spectrum of requirements around the concepts of Smart Cities, a different approach has to be sought. This paper provides a brief survey of use cases and requirements for public safety services, discusses the radio and core technology enhancements and identifies the risks with selecting partnership based strategies. A proposed strategy for Public Safety Mission Critical LTE networks forms a key contribution towards Smart City evolution.
