0  Introductionp. 8

The present document studies use cases and identifies potential requirements for a Mission Critical Data Communications (MCData service). The MCData Service can be used for public safety and security applications and also for general commercial applications requiring critical availability or service level (e.g., utility companies and railways.
As far as possible, the present document will reuse principles and definitions defined for the MCPTT service.

1  Scopep. 9

The present document studies use cases and identifies potential requirements for operation of the MCData service. MCData makes use of capabilities included in Group Communications System Enablers for LTE (GCSE_LTE), Proximity based Services (ProSe), and Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety (IOPS) with additional requirements specific to the MCData Service. The MCData Service can be used for public safety applications and also for general commercial applications (e.g., utility companies and railways).
As far as possible, the MCData service will reuse applicable elements from the MCPTT service.

4  Overviewp. 10

4.1  Backgroundp. 10

The general importance of mobile data communication to mission critical organisations has been growing over the years and, as a result, mission critical operations have become more and more depended on mobile data communications. In addition, thanks to the development of messaging and data transfer in commercial mobile networks, mission critical communication users see more and more potential in data communications. As a consequence, there is a need to extend group communications to support different media types.
So far mission critical organisations have been using a combination of dedicated private networks and commercial services to cover their needs. With their increasing demands for data they now look forward to one system providing all the required services.

4.2  Mission Critical Data Communicationp. 10

Mission Critical Data Communication provides a set of services and mechanisms to mission critical users to allow reliable, predictable, secure and flexible data communications during periods of normal- and of high network load.
The services provided by Mission Critical Data Communication include secure individual and group based text and multi-media messaging.
The mechanisms provided by Mission Critical Data Communication allow management and monitoring of data flows and provide application dependent, user dependent and situation dependent data priority.
