Interoperability

enabler
GERYON
will
enable
not
only
the
interoperability
among
current
PMR
systems
but
the
convergence
to
4G
GERYON
CONTEXT
Nowadays
there
is
a
growing
uncertainty
about
the
near
future
evolution
of
classical
PMR
solutions
due
to
spectrum
scarcity,
digital
dividend
issues
and
economic
crisis.
GERYON
aims
at
facing
this
situation
by
seizing
the
existing
window
of
opportunity
due
to
the
convergence
of
the
IMS
as
a
predominant
enabler
for
future
multimedia
networks
and
the
imminent
deployment
of
commercial
LTE
networks.
GERYON
proposes
an
innovative
emergency
inter-­‐
networking
system
capable
of
connecting
existing
first
responder
communication
systems
and
enabling
the
integration
of
next
generation
mobile
networks
by
defining
technology
independent
standardized
interfaces
and
autonomic
configuration
and
adaptation
techniques
under
the
umbrella
of
IMS,
3GPP’s
suite
of
standards.
Therefore,
GERYON
will
unify
common
technical
and
operational
logic
of
first
responder
communications
networks
in
a
technology
independent
manner.
This
unification
will
offload
interconnection
gateways
from
duplicated
technology
dependent
details
by
providing
a
neutral
interconnection
interface.
Proposed
system
will
ensure
seamless
operation
regardless
the
access
technology
and
take
advantage
of
coverage
and
responsiveness
of
existing
PMRs
and
broadband
data
services
of
4G
networks.
GERYON
will
demonstrate
both
classical
(i.e.
PTT,
MTP
and
preemptive
calls)
and
enhanced
emergency
services
(i.e.
multimedia
streaming
and
data
services)
over
an
across-­‐frontier
testbed.
Furthermore,
its
capability
for
including
general
purpose
IMS
terminals
and
GERYON
enhanced
ones
will
allow
an
easy
access
to
first
responder
networks
to
different
groups
of
users
that
will
take
advantage
of
enhanced
services
such
as
the
Red
Button
over
general
purpose
devices.

OBJECTIVES
GERYON
IMS
PLATFORM
GERYON
aims
at
using
standardized
protocols
to
address
interoperability
problems.
Therefore
a
fully
operational
IP
Multimedia
Subsystem
(IMS)-­‐driven
emergency
services
management
platform
will
be
designed,
developed
and
demonstrated.
GERYON
ECOSYSTEM
Innovative
GERYON
Enhanced
Management
System
(GEMS)
and
related
GERYON
Media
GateWay
(GMGW)
and
GERYON
Security
GateWay
(GSGW)
nodes
will
reassure
the
compatibility
between
any
two
organizations
at
communication
signalling
level
(e.g.,
naming
scheme
and
call
priority
scheme)
solving
media
codecs
and
media
encryption
incompatibility
problems.
GERYON
BRAIN
GEMS
central
call
controller
will
include
advanced

logic
for
technology

of
emergency

GERYON
GATEWAY
GEGW
will
support
the
integration
of
TETRA
users
into
the
IMS-­‐based
GERYON
framework.
It
will
be
integrated
into
the
local
organization’s
PMR
infrastructure
in
order
to
allow
any
non
IMS-­‐enabled
organization
to
connect
to
GERYON.
GERYON
CLIENTS
GERYON
software
clients
will
allow
using
a
subset
of
GERYON
services
through
non-­‐GERYON
access
networks.
Additionally,
specific
software
will
be
created
to
support
special
emergency
services
in
smartphones.
GERYON
4G
ENABLER
A
Technology-­‐Dependant
Emergency
GERYON
Services
(TD-­‐EGS)
node
will
be
integrated
into
the
local
organization’s
infrastructure
in
order
to
provide
the
support
for
IMS-­‐based
GERYON-­‐compliant
procedures
and,
therefore,
demonstrate
enhanced
emergency
services
support
in
4G

GERYON
DISSEMINATES
GERYON
targets
the
use
and
wide
dissemination
of

enabling
the
standardization
and
the
commercial
exploitation
of
the
project
outcomes.
GERYON
MANAGEMENT
Proper
management
and
coordination
of
project
activities
will
enable
the

to
achieve
its

GERYON
in
the
first
period
Dec
2011-­‐Feb
2013
The
FP7
SEC
GERYON
project
is
in
the
middle
of
the
project
lifetime.
The
specification
and
design
phases
result
on
the
definition
of
all
the
IMS-­‐compliant
GERYON-­‐oriented
procedures
at
high-­‐
and
detailed-­‐levels.
The
definition
of
the
different
network
elements
and
their
interactions
has
been
specified.
As
well,
all
the
communication
categories
and
types
of
services
have
been
formally
specified.
All
the
procedures
are
IMS-­‐compliant,
and
those
features
not
currently
supported
by
IMS
have
been
created
trying
to
keep
the
IMS
compliance
as
much
as
possible.
A
guide
about
how
an
emergency
organization
should
implement
the
support
of
the
GERYON-­‐compliant
procedures
is
compiled
in
GERYON
Deliverable
D2.2.
Following
GERYON
approach,
the
management
of
users
and
their
identities
remains
at
organization
level.
Thus,
it
is
the
organization
operator
who
decides
which
local
users
and
which
kind
of
sensible
information
is
available
to
other
GERYON
partners.
The
GERYON
elements
have
been
designed
to
run
over
standardized
IMS
infrastructures.
They
can
be
integrated
into
native
IMS
core
infrastructures
without
modifications;
just
based
on
GERYON-­‐specific
Service
Profiles
and
Trigger
Points.
The
specifications
phase
has
been
finalised
resulting
on
both
organizational
and
technical
specifications
concerning
the
IMS-­‐oriented
system
architecture
and
the
inter-­‐organization
services
to
be
deployed
in
the
GERYON
testbed.
The
design
phase
has
been
mainly
finalised,
including
all
GERYON
nodes
and
interactions
among
them.

INFRASTRUCTURE
DEPLOYMENT
The
required
networks
to
support
the
GERYON
scenario
have
been
fully
deployed
and
tested
including
a
TETRA
network
in
Bilbao,
Spain,
a
LTE
network
in
Athens,
Greece
and
4
virtualized
IMS
cores
for
different
organizations.
DEVELOPMENT
The
development
phase
of
the
different
GERYON
elements
is
in
good
progress,
around
the
middle
of
the
activity.
Several
functionalities
are
already
available
and
initial
functional
tests
have
been
performed.
Although
the
integration
phase
has
not
started
yet
(Q1
2013),
some
interoperability
tests
have
been
already
carried
out
successfully.
GEMS
management
system
Initial
prototype
is
already
available,
responsible
for
providing
advance
Call
Controlling
capabilities
including:
Identity
mapping
functions
between
users
of
different
organizations,
so
they
can
communicate
with
their
GERYON-­‐defined
aliases.
Media-­‐level
parameters
(codec
or
media

GERYON
CONTROL
ROOM
The
Control
Room
element
is
able
to
subscribe
and
read
the
multi-­‐organization
GERYON
groups
and
display
the
fleet
information
in
a
map.
Then,
different
actions
can
be
applied
such
as
creating
dynamic
groups
of
users,
making
calls,
call
forwarding
between
users,
etc.
GEGW
Both
external
and
internal
multi-­‐technology
design
of
a
reference
GEGW
has
been
defined,
including
core
modules
and
per
technology
parsers.
An
analysis
and
validation
of
TETRA
infrastructure’s
actual
capabilities
and
comparison
with
GERYON
demanded
functionalities
have
been
carried
out.
TETRA-­‐GERYON

COST
EFFECTIVENESS
GERYON
is
especially
suited
to
offer
a
cost-­‐
effective
solution
due
to
three
factors:
SOFTWARE
BASED
The
proposed
platform
mostly
involves
software
modules,
which
are
more
affordable
to
reproduce
and
deploy.
STANDARDISED
Platform
functions
and
communications
are
based
on
3GPP
open
public
standards.
OVER
THE
TOP
APPROACH
(OTT)
GERYON
utilizes
the
deployed
networks
as
they
are.
This
facilitates
the
interoperability
between
networks
and
terminals
of
different
vendors.
INNOVATION
TECHNOLOGY
AGNOSTIC
GERYON
integrates
heterogeneous
networks
under
a
common
platform,
using
an
all-­‐IP
approach
for
both
data
and
control
planes.
COMPATIBILITY
AND
GOVERNANCE
A
third-­‐party
reliable
organization
mediates
the
emergency
communications
between
different
professional
organizations.
The
GEMS
controller
in
the
GERYON
domain
performs
all
the
necessary
operations
in
order
to
reassure
the
compatibility.
OPEN
GERYON
procedures
are
designed
based
on
open
standards,
and
specifically
in
IMS
as
the
prevalent
candidate
for
future
4G
networks,
providing
a
good
basis
for
future
Public
Safety
interoperability.
SECURITY
The
protection
of
public
safety
communications
is
essential.
Secure
communications
are
needed
to
protect
emergency
personnel
and
to
support
mission
accomplishment.
Unsecured
systems
leave
authorities
vulnerable
and
increase
the
risks
to
citizens.
Secure
communications
will
be
addressed
by
endowing
the
communications
infrastructure
with
reliability,
protection
of
confidentiality
and
integrity
of
information.
If
end
users
do
not
share
common
ciphering
mechanisms,
the
ciphering/deciphering
operations
will
be
invoked
by
GEMS
and
carried
out
in
the
GSGW,
ensuring
interoperability.
