The aim of this second book of the Wireless Public Safety Networks series is to provide a system-level view of some fundamental problems linked to the PSN field. This book mainly focuses on specific enabling technologies, i.e. those which can help the most with the deployment and usage of PSNs in real world scenarios.
The first chapter is twofold. First, it makes a brief overview of the requirements and application scenarios for public safety networks, then it introduces the Internet of Things (IoT) (or Internet of Everything, IoE) paradigm and discusses the role it may play in the PSN field.
Chapter 2 discusses the use of social networks in the emergency management and the new possibilities social media may bring to the PSN field.
Chapter 3 presents the new advancements on Wearable Wireless Sensor Networks (W-WSN) for PSNs and Chapter 4 elaborates on the need to support mobile backhauling in moving-cell scenarios and describes two LTE-based solutions to enable dynamic meshing among the base stations
Chapter 5 highlights the issues and limitations of the current mobility management protocols and presents different mobility management alternatives for the future PSN in the context of 5G networks.
Chapter 6 discusses the problem of access for Public Safety Broadband Network using a twofold structure and Chapter 7 investigates the problem of data dissemination over PSNs making a review of the state of the art of different information and communication technologies.
Chapter 8 talks about the multicast dissemination of warning messages to a large population at risk, and Chapter 9 investigates eMBMS (LTE Broadcast).
Chapter 10 focuses on the best possible usage of one of the most precious resources of any wireless network, the frequency spectrum and, finally, Chapter 11 examines the challenges linked to security and privacy for PSNs as well as different techniques that may be put in place.
