Radio capacity planning in the case of major incidents for public safety agencies

Abstract

Public Safety Agencies deal with emergency events on a regular basis. They require reliable, highly available and secure network to provide services to the public. Furthermore, the demand for new features, such as video and audio streaming, transmission of still pictures, short messages and access to database applications, is on the rise. It is up to the design engineers to plan and support all current and future requirements. This paper will simulate emergency scenario where Public Safety agencies are called upon and analyze the network impact from the capacity point of view.
