AI for Good-Innovate for Impact

standard-based, interoperable and cost-efficient objectives. This evolution has been supported
and carried out by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), developing standards and
requirements for Mission Critical Services (MCX) over the broadband wireless networks,
since the Release 13. Targeting multiple services (audio, data and video), their requirements 43 - NS
have increased and new scenarios for optimization and AI have arisen. The 3GPP has already
identified the relevance of AI/ML in mobile broadband network management and in Release 18
there already exist multiple Work Items focusing AI/ML research for 5G internal and 3th party
services, and for Radio Access Networks purposes. This work is still in preliminary stages and it
is required to develop solutions based on these theoretical proposals. The lack of datasets for
massive emergency scenarios is an issue that must be addressed due to the difficulties related
to the access to this kind of deployments or simulations.

Emergency and disaster scenarios datasets will allow MCX services providers and 5G/6G
networks managers to implement solutions for optimization and smart management of
resources and services in cases which have not been widely analyzed in real-world cases,
where disaster characteristics imply massive user communications in restrained conditions
(geographical, architectural and wireless). AI/ML mechanisms can be applied to identify
anomalies to anticipate errors (vital in disasters for Public Safety) and reorganize the network
topology and configuration to adapt properly to each time spot requirements. Dataset shall
include radio and service parameters, correctly labeled and for some periods of interest, under
emergency and normal work days situations.

UN Goals:

• SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
• SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
• SDG 17: Partnerships to achieve the Goal

Justification on UN Goals selection: SDG9: MCX services seek to use common infrastructures
for the sake of interoperability and standardization, reducing the impact of isolated network
infrastructures and equipment for the environment, promoting resilient networks for extreme
scenarios and enhancing research and upgrading industrial technologies. Promoting MCX
services over broadband networks (private or commercial) also facilitates developing countries
accessing this kind of technology. SDG11: MCX services standards are applied to get safer
and resilient transport systems and to reduce the adverse effects of natural disasters. This
technology allows governments and institutions to develop national and regional planning
thanks to its principle of interoperability, also providing resource optimal management
(resource efficiency) thanks to the new broadband network features. Disaster risk reduction
can be also improved thanks to resilient and guaranteed communications for first responders
in case of disaster scenarios, where every second of delay in communications has a huge
impact. SDG17: Standardization provides the opportunity to access to research and technology
in a cooperative way and also without the need to invest on preliminary stages in the case of
developing countries.

A data simulator would be set up to reflect the data generation from a 5G network (encompassing
Radio Access Network and 5G Core functions) for massive MCX equipment connected to
