The ETSI Speech and multimedia Transmission Quality (STQ) Workshop on "Quality of Emerging Services for Speech and Audio: A user-centred perspective" will take place on 21 to 22 November 2022 at the Amazon facility in Bratislava, Slovakia. This two-day workshop is free of charge.
AboutThe users’ Quality of Experience in mobile communications ecosystem entering the 5th and 6th generation is constantly evolving. This workshop will foster discussions on related services such as Augmented and Virtual Reality, and other Quality of Service aspects that will make future mobile generation more attractive. Innovations in 5G Network Slicing make it necessary to refine the technical approaches and related standards on network performance assessment and Quality of Service Benchmarking.
Standardization is crucial to ensure that the users can experience high-level acoustics and audio performance of new devices, e.g. in a smart home & IoT context. It is essential to evaluate the differences between human perception and automatic speech recognition, and to understand how machines respond to quality, as well as how users perceive the application quality of M2M communication.
Among other topics, this workshop will highlight technical innovations and new standards in prediction of perceived quality of speech and audio communications systems, including listening effort, loudness and echo perception.
Target AudienceThe event will be of interest for:
Manufacturers, Research bodies, Platform providers, Regulators, Operators Usersbringing together a diverse participation from industry and academia to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and best practices for delivering high-quality user experiences in services and systems.
ETSI, with the support of the ETSI TC MSG (Mobile Standards Group) and EENA (The European Emergency Number Association), is organizing the 2nd Next Generation eCall Plugtests event, which will take place from 14th to 16th of November 2022 in Kranj, Slovenia. This event will be hosted by Sintesio with Telekom Slovenia and Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief of Republic of Slovenia as Technical Partners.
This event will have a specific focus on the interoperability of Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) systems or eCall over Long Term Evolution (LTE), based on the interoperability test descriptions defined in the upcoming version 2.1.1 of ETSI TS 103 683, available soon. The event will be hosted in a real telco operator 4G/IMS network, fully supporting the NG eCall scenarios -including Fallback to CS eCall scenario. Optionally, infrastructure for the TPS rerouting scenario(s) may be available.
Interoperability and NG eCall service harmonization are critical challenges to be taken into account for the successful deployment and operation of the NG eCall service.
The NG eCall Plugtests event offers the opportunity for vendors to run interoperability test sessions using predefined test descriptions.
In Vehicle System (IVS) and Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP) vendors are invited to join the event.
If possible, compliance and performance checking sessions will be scheduled to complement the interoperability tests.
This activity is supported by the European Commission and the EFTA Secretariat.
ETSI, with the support of the European Commission (EC), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the Critical Communications Association (TCCA), the Union Internationale des Chemins de fer (UIC) and 5G-EPICENTRE, organized the seventh MCX PLUGTESTSTM. This Plugtests took place from the 7th to 11th of November 2022 and was hosted by the University of Malaga, Spain.
Important: We assure our participants, members and partners that ETSI is monitoring the situation of the Coronavirus pandemic very closely and will ensure all necessary initiatives will be taken in accordance with the instructions of the local government authorities. We recommend flexible booking of hotel / flights accordingly.
The concept of Mission Critical Services such as “Mission Critical Push To Talk" (MCPTT), “Mission Critical Data" (MCData) and “Mission Critical Video" (MCVideo) started with 3GPP Release-13 and is ongoing in current Releases. The Future Railway Mobile Communication System (FRMCS) is based on these Mission Critical Features.
The goal of this MCX Plugtests event was to validate the interoperability of a variety of implementations using different scenarios based on 3GPP Mission Critical Services in Release-17. The MCX Plugtests event did also test FRMCS capabilities like Functional Aliases, Multi-talker, User and Group Regrouping, MCData IP Connectivity and complex emergency call handling. The MCX Plugtests event was, besides mission critical features which have been tested in past events over 4G network, extended to initially test Mission Critical Services over 5G test network. Specific focus was put to inter-system communications including IWF and inter-MCX scenarios. The tests are based on 3GPP, ETSI and IETF standards and are designed for:
MCS Application Servers (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) MCS Clients (MCPTT, MCDATA, MCVIDEO) FRMCS Applications using MCX Framework eMBMS Components IMS / SIP Cores Consoles and Control Rooms connected to MCX servers MCS Test Equipments RAN equipment (4G and 5G) Packet cores (4G and 5G) UEs (User Equipment), Cab Radios, embedded equipment, Rugged Handheld Phones TETRA and P25 systems with IWFThis event featured tests with 4G and 5G radio equipment (gNBs, eNBs, 5GCs, EPCs, UEs) with Unicast and Multicast support and did also allow Over-The-Top (OTT) testing of Mission Critical Servers and Clients as well as included tests of railways-oriented capabilities. Test Equipment vendors had the possibility to test as well in the Plugtests.
New Vendors and Observers had to sign the Rules of Engagement and NDA of the MCX Plugtests Programme to participate.
Observers were welcome to help define the scope (i.e. functionality to be tested) for this event and to evaluate the tests statistics in the TRT (Test Reporting Tool).
In parallel to the testing, it was planned to organise an observer programme and demos. The focus of the observer programme was to examine and discuss the progress of deployment and the challenges in testing of the Mission Critical Services for Public Safety and Public Transport. The observer programme was held onsite during the event.
The observer programme included demos from the interested vendors, which showed interoperability of their equipment by showcasing the MCX Plugtests test cases and observer scenario use cases.

The tutorial on ontologies and semantic interoperabitliy is the introductory event of the ETSI IoT Week 2022.
The tutorial will take place physically in ETSI premises, Sophia Antipolis, France, on 10 October 2022.
The Internet of Things is all around us, with connectivity now being an integral part of the devices we use every day. This connectivity is however just a means for these connected devices to share data with other elements in a broader system.
While devices initially foreseen to operate within the same system might understand each other and be able to use data created within other parts of the system, we see an increasing complexity in those systems, a connection between systems and ultimately a need for devices, servers and applications to be prepared to access and process data that might not have been considered at time of design.
This is where semantic interoperability helps: it allows IoT systems to communicate and exchange data with unambiguous and shared meaning. This can be achieved using ontologies relevant to the IoT in general (a “base” IoT ontology) as well as extensions relevant to specific domains. The creation of mappings between existing ontologies is a key element in creating interoperability that can in turn help systems and their users to fully leverage the value of data.
About the Tutorial We are inviting you to a tutorial session targeted at IoT applications developers.
The tutorial will explain what ontologies are, how they are built and extended, and how you can get involved in ETSI’s current work on the topic.
The session will also address practical use of these ontologies and provide an overview of how semantics can be applied to the IoT and of how using ontologies can considerably enrich the IoT applications and use cases.
Through a step-by-step demonstration, we will show how developers can build applications using ontologies on a oneM2M IoT solution, highlighting how it makes a difference using semantics in an IoT ecosystem.
The oneM2M developer guide on implementation of semantics will then be put in action in a demo of a relevant use case based on the SAREF ontology and a oneM2M IoT solution implementing the oneM2M standard.
The formal tutorial session will be followed by a question and answer session from all participants
