Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <[email protected]> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <[email protected]>.

Abstract
Introduction to
CIRCLE(Communications Infrastructure Restoration
in the event of
Catastrophic Loss of Equipment)

Expectations• This presentation is intended to begin a discussion of
catastrophic loss of communications infrastructure and a standards approach to providing rapid recovery– 2005 (including last week of 2004) disasters have shown that a
broken communications infrastructure can cost people their lives– Bureaucratic approaches without push-button solutions are slow or
impossible to implement
• IEEE 802 has always been in the forefront of technological advancement for network sciences– Providing solutions and standard practices could enable vastly
improved responses to disasters

Why?• 2005 (incl. the last week of 2004) clearly showed: [South
Asian tsunami, hurricanes and earthquake in Pakistan]– Natural disasters cannot fully be
• Anticipated• Prepared for• Dealt with; or• Quickly recovered from
– Emergency management needs better methods– Without clearly defined methods, bureaucratic decision-making
can cost people their lives– Conversely, robust or rapidly recoverable communications
networks can save lives• On-scene need assessments and communications can accurate direct
responders

Why IEEE 802?
• IEEE 802 networks can be deployed rapidly, supporting– Coordinated emergency responses– VoIP E911 services– Internet access to up-to-the-minute information
• Weather conditions• Safety issues• Shelter location, capacity and status• Evacuation/shelter-in-place information
• Existing standard networking equipment can provide much of the needed replacement infrastructure
• A number of companies/organizations are looking at doing some piece of this, and the use of standard equipment and methods is the better way

The Vision
• Membership of IEEE 802 includes the best minds in networking sciences– Enabling best equipment and protocols– Maximizing coverage
• Equipment designed to existing (and in-process) standards can be combined to roll out a wireless infrastructure– Supporting a significant percentage of users– Providing a coordinated emergency response network
• Collaboration with existing network logistics, mobilization and construction experts
• Recommended practices, equipment and procedures would provide FEMA/DoHS with ready to deploy option

The Project
• Define standard approach to rapid deployment– Wireless LAN and PAN– Wireless backhaul– Tiered network– Best practice logistics
• Define network architectures• Define methods for integrating with surviving
infrastructure• Work with other organizations to put all the pieces
together

Next Actions
• Decide if this is within IEEE 802 scope
• Discuss with other applicable IEEE SDOs
• Discuss with required non-IEEE organizations
• Detail the project
