1  Scopep. 6

The present document provides the service requirements for operation of the MCData service. MCData makes use of capabilities included in Group Communication System Enablers, Proximity Services, Isolated E-UTRAN operation for Public Safety and Mission Critical Services Common Requirements with additional requirements specific to the MCData Service. The MCData Service can be used for public safety applications and maritime safety applications and also for general commercial applications (e.g., utility companies, railways and maritime usage). The requirements in this specifications do not apply to GSM or UMTS.

4  Overviewp. 7

MCData defines a service for Mission Critical Data services. As well as voice services, current mission critical users have been increasing their use of data services, including low throughput services on legacy networks and data services on commercial networks. This need will continue to grow with the creation of the new multimedia services. The MCData service needs to provide a means to manage all data connections of mission critical users in the field and provide relevant resources to the ones who need it. For example mission critical users already use event manager software along with the voice system. The migration to 3GPP networks will allow mission critical users to operate current and new data services whilst relying on the fundamental capabilities of mission critical communication such as defined for MCPTT in [4] and included into MCCoRe [3].
The MCData Service provides a set of communication services that will be directly used by the user or functions that will be called by external applications in control rooms.
The MCData Service will reuse functions including end-to-end encryption, key management, authentication of the sender, etc. defined in [3] in order to provide group communications for data services. As for all mission critical services, users affiliate to groups in order to receive communications directed to the group.
In addition, the MCData Service will provide a set of generic capabilities such as: messaging, file distribution, data streaming, IP proxy, etc. Also, the MCData Service will provide specific services such as conversation management, data base enquiries, internet access, robots control.
The MCData Service is expected to have open interfaces in the network. It needs also to provide an opportunity for a variety of multimedia applications using the MCData Service.

5  MCData generic capability requirements common for on-network and off-networkp. 7

5.1  Introductionp. 7

MCData makes frequent use of a set of capabilities and enablers that allows for many end user services to be built on a common foundation. Several generic capabilities are defined for use in the MCData Service. These capabilities can be used on their own to transfer files, messages and other content to individuals and affiliated members of groups or combined with other services, through an application, to provide complete end users services as determined by the authorities implementing the service. The MCData generic capabilities are common for on-network and off-network.
It is not intended to invent new protocols for the MCData Service. Where existing protocols are efficient and sufficient, the service should make use of these protocols.
Up

5.5  IP connectivityp. 10

5.5.1  Service descriptionp. 10

IP connectivity can be used for MCData applications that are based on the IP client-server paradigm. The UE can contain a client using a service in the network (e.g. a police officer accessing a server on the police Intranet from his mobile phone). The UE can also contain a server that is accessed by other UEs (e.g. a mobile information display that is controlled by a police officer from his mobile phone). As an UE for MCData application can be an unmanned device, or device without user interface, authorization of IP data transport can be provided remotely by an authorized user for the UE.

A group of people can be involved in different activities in an operational situation.

Therefore conversation management is applied to all messaging and file transfer. Conversation management can be seen as an aggregation of related MCData transmissions for a given activity.
The system will not be able to manage an infinite number of conversations. Rather than simply limiting the number of conversations and asking users to send a notification when the conversation ends, it is proposed here to limit the time of a conversation.

6.3.2  MCData Transmission Control Off-Networkp. 17

6.3.2.1  Overviewp. 17

MCData Transmission Control Off-Network provides a necessary capability for an authorized user of the MCData service to request to transmit, receive an indication of being allowed to transmit or not being allowed to transmit and terminate a request to transmit when the MCData user no longer wants to transmit. A transmit time limit is provided which allows an MCData Administrator to configure the limits for any transmission related to a single request to transmit. MCData Transmission Control Off-Network also provides an override capability based on a priority hierarchy to override an active MCData transmission of a transmitting Participant based on configuration. The MCData Transsmission Control Off-Network capability does not apply to all of the MCData subservices (SDS, file distribution capability, data streaming capability, IP connectivity).
Up

6.3.2.2  General Aspectsp. 17

The MCData service when operating off-network shall determine at a point in time which off-network Participant(s) are allowed to transmit to other off-network Participants.
[R-6.3.2.2-002]
An MCData Group shall have the flexibility to be configured to allow simultaneous transmitting MCData Group Members.
[R-6.3.2.2-003]

[R-6.3.2.3-001]
An authorized Participant shall be able to request to transmit to an MCData Group or an individual MCData User.
[R-6.3.2.3-002]
The MCData service shall determine which Participant(s) are permitted to transmit when there are simultaneous requests for permission to transmit within the same group.
[R-6.3.2.3-003]
Following an MCData request for permission to transmit on the Selected MCData Group, any Affiliated MCData User that made and was granted the request shall be given an indication of being allowed to transmit.
[R-6.3.2.3-004]
Following an MCData request for permission to transmit on the Selected MCData Group, any Affiliated MCData User that made and was not granted the request shall be given an indication that permission to transmit was not given at that time.
