Abstract: Public safety communication technologies can save lives and property during emergencies caused by man-made or natural disasters. Our project aims at providing public safety with high-quality dedicated network service through LTE networks. In particular, we develop new entities and protocols to enhance LTE with a special set of features. From the perspective of system architecture, our project addresses broadcast/multicast, cooperative communications, soft frequency reuse and mobile data offloading to improve the capacity of a designated area. From the perspective of network protocol, our project addresses intelligent network, call admission control, load balancing and signalling efficiency to assure the priority of designated traffic.
