Additional Information: Spectrum in the 700 MHz band has recently been licensed by the FCC to carry a nationwide public safety broadband network. In July of 2009 the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) was selected as the next generation technology for public safety communications. Because the initial thrust of LTE has been on data services, voice over LTE is still in its infancy. Furthermore, the emerging voice over LTE solutions focus on commercial voice services over cellular networks. Public safety, on the other hand, has additional mission critical requirements for voice, beyond those of traditional cellular services. This tutorial will cover the basics of LTE technology and standards, including PHY, MAC and higher layers. We will discuss possible voice over LTE solutions and analyze their shortcomings with respect to the stringent requirements of public safety. The tutorial will also review LTE certification process and issues specifically related to interworking the existing public safety technologies, such as P25 and LMR. We will cover the handset and infrastructure components of the broadband public safety architecture.
