scope:

The scope of this standard is the support of WEA 3.0 via the EPS PWS. This standard covers the mapping of WEA 3.0 messages onto the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)-defined PWS message structure within the EPS.

This standard is not intended to describe an overall end-to-end WEA 3.0 architecture, but includes clarifications that may be lacking in existing 3GPP specifications.

The WEA 3.0 interface with the Federal network and the mobile device behavior upon reception of a WEA 3.0 alert are specified in separate standards [Ref 9 & 10].

NOTE: ATIS-0700036, Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) 3.0 Mobile Device Behavior (MDB) Specification [Ref 9], also supports the WEA 3.0 functionality of this Standard even though this access technology is not explicitly referenced in the WEA 3.0 MDB specification.

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to describe the use of the EPS PWS for the delivery of WEA 3.0 messages. The standard includes the mapping of WEA 3.0 application level messages to the Cell Broadcast Center (CBC) message structure as used within the EPS.
