With the tragic airline disaster in New York City, on September
11th, 2001, the subject of emergency communications has become very
important. Preferential Emergency Communications: From
Telecommunications to the Internet is intended to provide an
in-depth exposure to authorized emergency communications. These
communications generally involve preferential treatment of
signaling and/or data to help ensure forwarding of information
through a network. This book covers examples ranging from private
networks to current investigations using Next Generation Networks
(i.e., IP based communications). The information acts as a
reference for network designers, network vendors, and users of
authorized emergency communications services.
Preferential Emergency Communications: From Telecommunications to
the Internet, a professional monograph, is divided into three
sections. The first describes systems and protocols that have been
deployed as private networks for use by government agencies like
the U.S. Department of Defense. This section also presents an
in-depth discussion on MLPP. We then present current work in the
area of Land Mobile Radio, commonly used by local emergency
personnel such as police and fireman. This second section also
describes systems that have been deployed over the public switched
telephone network. Finally, the third section presents insights on
trying to support emergency communications over TCP/IP networks and
the Internet. In this last item we look into what IETF protocols
can be considered candidates for change, as well as those protocols
and applications that should not be altered.
Preferential Emergency Communications: From Telecommunications to
the Internet is designed to meet the needs of a professional
audience composed of practitioners and researchers in industry.
This book is also suitable for senior undergraduate and
graduate-level students in computer science and electrical
engineering.
