The CBS methodology has been standardized in order to make a rapid broadcast of emergency alert message for cellular users. However, the standard does not specify a retransmission request mechanism in the case that the users fail in receiving the alert message. Therefore, we propose a retransmission request scheme based on cognitive radio for the CBS technology in this letter. The simulation results confirm that our proposed scheme is very suitable for the retransmission method in CBS-based emergency alert broadcast systems.

The CBS methodology has been utilized in order to make a rapid broadcast of emergency alert based on cellular systems. We present a synchronous cooperative communication method for the CBS. Especially, we suggest a synchronization scheme and a data recovery approach for high-rate cooperative communications. For the high-rate transfer of emergency alert, the cyclic prefix is added to the preamble for the synchronization. For the data recovery, the Alamouti technique is utilized on frequency domain, which is similar to SC-FDE. The simulation results confirm that our proposed scheme is very suitable for the CBS.

The CBS functionality is defined for emergency alert service in cellular systems. Previously, a cooperative communication technique was proposed for more reliable CBS functionality. However, the relays for cooperative communications may fail in receiving emergency message, which may cause a critical latency. Therefore, we propose a novel cooperative communication technology in this letter, which incudes additional T-DMB functionality in relays. Analytical and empirical evaluations confirm that the proposed method is very suitable for rapid emergency alert broadcast.

Effective alerts will drastically mitigate the disaster impacts. One way to enhance the effectiveness is to prepare multiple alert distribution channels. In this paper, we propose a new emergency alert distribution system that will solve the weaknesses of the current distribution systems, such as Cell Broadcasting System and T-DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service. The weaknesses are: the limitation of message length, small portions of terminals that can receive and display the alert signal, and one-way communication service. To solve these problems, we propose an emergency alert distribution system over the Internet with RSS (Rich Site Summary) format. The system also has the capability of adaptive alert filtering according to the receiver characteristics. We analyzed the characteristics of RSS as an alerting format, and draw functional requirements satisfying use case scenarios. We designed the system only with major requirements and verified it on our test bed. Sending richer message contents through various receiving terminals, the system will achieve more effective emergency alert service.

The CBS and the AEAS functionalities are defined in cellular systems and T-DMB systems, respectively. In the case that communication facilities are disabled in indoor environments, it is impossible for the residents to receive the emergency messages. In this paper, a novel collaborative technology of intelligent mobile robots is proposed, which relies on cooperative communications among the intelligent mobile robots. In order to improve the performance, the intelligent mobile robots exploit their location information. Simulation results confirm that the proposed method is very suitable for reliable emergency alert broadcast.

The emergency alert broadcast service based on cellular communications is defined as CBS. However, the CBS just supports a limited text message, which might be unavailable to foreigners, who are unfamiliar with local characters. The CBS protocol relies on a broadcast mechanism. Such a broadcast technology exhibits that the number of outage users significantly increases under poor channel conditions. In this paper, we present a supplementary service technology for 5G CBS, which considerably enhances the accessibility of foreigners and illiterate persons, and the receiver performance. For the enhanced receiver performance, the proposed supplementary service approach effectively exploits the device-based geo-targeting capability that the 5G CBS can afford to offer.

For mobile emergency broadcast service, first of all, we shall understand transmission characteristics of each mobile broadcast system which might be appled for it and then analyse of the related disaster (emergency) standards based on emergency characteristic own. In this paper, we propose a CAP-based emergency alert broadcasting system for ATSC Mobile DTV system which has been accepted for the mobile broadcasting system in USA. Since there is no standard for emergency broadcasting using ATSC mobile DTV until now, we analyze common alert protocol in USA and then we proposed Emergency Alert Protocol for ATSC Mobile DTV based on it. And we have designed and implemented our proposed system to verify the effectiveness of it. As a result we show the possibility of emergency alert broadcasting for ATSC Mobile DTV.

When a disaster occurs, effective alerts will reduce human life and property loss. The Integrated Emergency Alert System is a national disaster management system which integrates existing alert systems to deliver effective disaster alerts. Alert message exchange protocol is the essential technology for the System. In Korea, the first specification for "Common Alerting Protocol Profile for Integrated Emergency Alert System" was established in 2014. In this paper, we derive two additional requirements for more enhanced alert service and propose revision of the specification: multilingual alert service for foreigners and more flexible representation of target area. We review the associated foreign profile specifications as well as the domestic specifications to analyze these requirements. Finally, we propose the most efficient way to deliver multilingual alert message and to represent target area.

Current disaster alert broadcasting based on mobile communication systems targets personal mobile terminals such as smartphones. However, smart cities require IoT-based services such as smart homes and offices. Therefore, when severe disasters such as earthquakes occur, smart cities must quickly perform appropriate control and respond to buildings and factories. For this, a disaster warning broadcasting technique for IoT terminals for smart cities is required. In this paper, we propose a disaster alert transmission method based on 4G/5G mobile communication for IoT terminals for smart cities. The proposed method effectively utilizes the image display method for CBS, a cell-based broadcasting service, and shows the superiority of the proposed approach through simulation.

This paper presents the design of alert message and message segmentation method for the Terrestrial DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service Standard. This paper begins with the introduction of the standard and some background. The alert message contains the essential information of the alert. Structured information is represented as coded fields and the unstructured as short sentences. Design factors of each field are analyzed first. Next each field’s semantics and syntax are described. The message segmentation method is presented next. The previous study selected FIDC as the message delivery channel. However, in most cases, the size of the alert message exceeds the maximum size of FIG, which is the basic unit packet for the channel. The current T-DMB standard does not support the segmentation method for FIDC. To solve the problem, this paper proposes an elegant segmentation method that garantees reliable, flexible, and fast receiver characteristic. This paper concludes with some additional tasks that should be resolved before the full-time alert service.
