Summary: Satellite IoT-based emergency response systems leverage the wide-area coverage of satellite constellations to enable reliable data transmission in scenarios where terrestrial communication infrastructures are damaged or unavailable, such as during natural disasters or public emergencies. This draft Recommendation focuses on the satellite IoT gateway and sensing layer of such systems. It defines functional requirements for satellite IoT gateway, including automatic acquisition, bidirectional data transfer, and adaptation to intermittent satellite connectivity. It also specifies requirements for sensing devices regarding data acquisition, local communication, low-power operation, and data formats. Furthermore, it provides specifications for the local connection interface between satellite IoT gateway and sensing devices, ensuring interoperability and efficient data flow. By standardizing these satellite IoT gateway components and their interactions, this document provides guidance to facilitate the development and deployment of satellite IoT-based emergency response systems, thereby contributing to more resilient and effective disaster management capabilities for smart cities and communities.
