Interoperability of Emergency and Mission Critical IoT Data Services

Digitalization of today's society is closely related to the recent development of IoT and next generation 5G networks, as well the applicable use cases in everyday life. Heterogeneity of this IoT ecosystem presents the environment of connected devices communicating with each other and the cloud datacenter through different wireless networks. Emergency services, important for the safety of society and citizens, reveal multiple challenges for the adoption of applications based on the capabilities of smart devices and the interoperability among heterogeneous platforms. Next generation 5G networks being the center of the heterogeneous network environments, define the mission-critical data scope with this challenge-the need for reliable communication. A novel approach of using heterogeneous IoT devices and networks is a necessity, including: user-centric approach, network interoperability, as well as the symbiosis with NG emergency systems, enabling reliable transfer of emergency and mission critical data communication.
