European SDR for wireless in joint security operations
EULER project
Euler consortium
EULER general presentation
Goal
• The EULER -project aims to define and
demonstrate the benefits of SDR in
enhancing interoperability and fast
deployment in case of national and
international joint emergency service
operations.

Facts
• Activity 4 : Restoring security and safety in case of crisis
– Topic 4.2.4 : Wireless communication for E.U crisis management
– Integration project
• Name: EULER
• Conducting the proposal: THALES France
• Duration: 3 years, Starting date 01/03/2009
• Total cost: 15,5 M€
• Consortium: involves
– Business groups in both Security and HLS Radio (SDR) area
– SMEs
– Research centres and universities
• EULER collaborative research project gathers main European actors
to demonstrate how the benefits of Software Defined Radio can be
leveraged in order to enhance interoperability and fast deployment
in case of crisis needed to be jointly resolved.

Vision
• The EULER -project will shape and clarify
the European vision for interoperability in
joint emergency and security services in
close cooperation with E.U. stakeholders
in the field of security forces
management.

Drivers – New capabilities with SDR

Operational requirementsJoint Operations with different agencies
(possibly from different Countries)
Public safety organizations operate in
unpredictable conditions also from the
point of view of spectrum availability
(interferences)
Public safety operations are usually
unplanned and communications
infrastructures may not be available.
Public Safety operators may not have the
interoperable terminals with the
wireless networks existing in the
emergency area.
Evolving Technologies and standards may
cause the existing wireless equipment to
become obsolete.

Drivers – Mobile broadband for PSC
• Euler provides wireless broadband networking
capabilities for security and resque personnel

Approach
• The EULER-project will
– propose a new high-data-rate waveform for
emergency and security operations,
– strengthen and mature ongoing efforts in
Europe in the field of SDR standardization,
– provide proof-of-concept waveform
implementation and portability on several
software defined radio platforms and
– realize an integrated demonstrator targeted
towards end-users.8

Community
• The EULER -project gathers
– major industrial players in Europe in the field
of wireless systems communication
integration and software defined radio as
well as
– academic research institutes and
– is supported by a strong group of end-users.
10
End user involvement
• The methodology that the EULER consortium intends to follow regarding end-users
consultation and requirements collection:
– a survey of each end-user's current communications services and level of
knowledge of emerging relevant technologies.
– followed by the presentation of a cross-border crisis scenario that is based on a
real past event, but customized specifically for each end-user.
– The end-user's requirements regarding communications interoperability (both
at the technical and the operational/procedural level) would then be collected
using a multiple-choice questionnaire.
– The results would then be consolidated and harmonized across all the members
of the end-users committee and used as guidelines for the security research
activities inside the EULER project.
• We expect to repeatedly animate these end-user interactions 3 times per year,
each time refining the questionnaire to better understand your present and future
needs
• At the end of the EULER project an end-users workshop will be realized, where the
results of the end-user surveys will be presented, together with a demonstration of
the EULER project's technical achievements.11
Capture the user requirements
12
Define the system architecture
• Transfer the end user requirements into
technical requirements
• Provide the definition of the communication
system architecture:– high-level protocols,
– services and
– interfaces to integrate heterogeneous networks.
• Provide supporting waveform functional
requirements
13
Define the SDR platforms• ESRA specification extension and maturation: SDR standardization
is still a work in progress, especially in the scope of better
supporting portability, specialized devices (DSPs and FPGAs), and
also in the specification of general enough hardware abstraction
layers (an example being the so-called Transceiver capability).
– The aim to realize a high-data-rate portable waveform emphasizes these
needs, because of the implied important use of the DSP and FPGAs specialized
devices for performance reasons.
• Derive from P&GS information and communication assurance
requirements the constraints on the architecture of the SDR
embedded platform
– define architectural strategies to answer them, prototype and integrate them
• Provide a wideband flexible RF frontend and power amplifier,
• Investigate and evaluate the strategies for highly-optimized ESRA
implementation, and perform its integration on the SDR platforms.

• SDR waveform design, specification and
development for two high data rate
waveforms according to a common
architecture provided by ESRA
System integration
• Gather all the necessary equipments and integrate
them by carrying out the required engineering
operations, in order to obtain an infrastructure of
heterogeneous wireless networks which will be used in
WP7 to demonstrate at small scale:
– The added value of an ESRA standardized SDR concept to
achieve end-to-end interoperability.
– The feasibility of a high data-rate security waveform.
• Provide technical and engineering support in order to
maintain the SDR/COTS based wireless network during
the performance of the use cases or demonstration
scenarios

Dissemination• Transform the vision of the project into reality by communications,
standardisation, education and marketing.
• Push forward the improvement of Public & Governmental Safety wireless
communication systems towards evolvement, interoperability, and
openness while providing information assurance.
• Attract interest in the community by
– Shaping perspectives for implied new operational capabilities, and highlight
them with a system demonstrator.
– Shaping perspectives on benefits for adoption of EULER demonstrated
technology.
– Providing the information to E.U level stakeholders and end-users in a
coordinated fashion.
• Identify and roadmap complementary actions to push Euler results to
standardisation roads
– Existing specifications OMG-SDR, SCA
– ETSI SDR Group, SDR Forum, ESRA
