提案编号：CNS 08- 21736 PI（s）：Dantu，Ram Guturu，Parthasarathy; Kavi，Krishna M.机构：北德克萨斯大学丹顿，TX 76203- 5250标题：MRI/Dev：用于下一代9-1-1服务实验研究的灵活仪器和工具项目建议：该项目开发用于研究的灵活仪器和工具，以了解和分析下一代9-1-1服务，有助于规划下一代应急通信基础设施的过程。该仪器将容纳和评估定位9-1-1呼叫者的技术，确保公共安全应答点（PSAP），确保在大规模紧急情况下9-1-1服务的持续可用性，提供邻里通知，改善机构间协调，并通过视频电话和即时消息增强聋人和听力受损者的9-1-1服务。其他目标包括测量LoST的性能（位置到服务转换），LCP（位置配置）和SIPLC（SIP位置传送）协议;开发一个用于衡量呼叫处理和安全性能的工具，将开发工作转化为工程指导方针，并在政府组织中传播结果，标准机构，如互联网工程任务组（IETF）和国家紧急号码协会（NENA）和9-1-1中心。NENA和Denco 9-1-1中心支持工具和仪器的测试和验证。因此，该项目开发了-一种灵活、高性能的仪器和工具，用于定位呼叫者，特别是调查下一代9-1-1技术的安全性和可扩展性，-调查与灾难期间9-1-1通知相关的几个研究问题所需的仪器，以及-一个传播和教育计划，将结果转移到行业和政府机构。该项目使新的研究和教育在9-1-1服务。将举办讲习班（已举办3次VoIP安全讲习班），并即将进行宣传。启动的研究项目将有助于聋人和听力和语言障碍者。

Proposal #: CNS 08-21736PI(s): Dantu, Ram Guturu, Parthasarathy; Kavi, Krishna M.Institution: University of North Texas Denton, TX 76203-5250Title: MRI/Dev:A Flexible Instrument and Tools for Experimental Research in Next Generation 9-1-1 ServicesProject Proposed:This project, developing a flexible instrument and tools for research to understand and analyze next-generation 9-1-1 services, contributes to the process of planning next-generation emergency communication infrastructure. The instrument will house and evaluate the techniques for locating 9-1-1 callers, securing public safety answering points (PSAPs), ensuring continuous availability of 9-1-1 services during large-scale emergencies, providing neighborhood notifications, improving interagency coordination, and enhancing 9-1-1 services for the deaf and hearing-impaired through video phones and instant messaging. Additional goals include measuring the performance of LoST (location to service translation), LCP (location configuration), and SIPLC (SIP location conveyance) protocols used in PSAP; developing a tool for performance measurements for call processing and security (PSAP), translating the development efforts to engineering guidelines, and disseminating the results across government organizations, standards bodies such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and 9-1-1 centers. NENA and Denco 9-1-1 center support testing and validation of the tools and instrument. Thus, the project develops - A flexible, high performance instrument and tools for locating callers, specifically to investigate security and scalability of next-generation 9-1-1 technology,- The instrumentation required for investigation of several research issues related to 9-1-1 notifications during disaster, and- A dissemination and educational program to transfer the results to industry and government agencies.Broader Impacts: This project enables new research and education in 9-1-1 services. Workshops will be organized (3 have been held in VoIP security) and dissemination will be forthcoming. The research projects enabled will be helpful to deaf and hearing- and speech-impaired individuals.
