The subscribers of participating CMSPs may opt out of receiving Imminent Threat and Child<br />

Abduction/AMBER alerts, but cannot opt out from Presidential Alerts.<br />

The following figure shows the CMAS Reference Architecture as defined in the FCC CMAS First Report<br />

and Order:<br />

Figure B.1. CMAS Reference Architecture. 138<br />

Reference Point C is the secure interface between the Federal Alert GW and the Commercial Mobile<br />

Service Provider (CMSP) GW. The Reference Point C interface supports delivery of new, updated or<br />

canceled wireless alert messages, and supports periodic testing of the interface. This interface is defined<br />

in the J-STD-101, the Joint ATIS/TIA CMAS Federal Alert GW to CMSP GW Interface Specification. 139<br />

J-STD-101 defines the interface between the Federal Alert GW and the Commercial Mobile Service<br />

Provider (CMSP) GW for CMAS alerts. This standard is applicable to CMSPs and to the Federal<br />

Government entity (i.e. FEMA) responsible for the administration of the Federal Alert GW. FEMA will<br />

perform the function of aggregating all state, local, and federal alerts and will provide one logical interface<br />

to each CMSP who elects to support CMAS alerts.<br />

For GSM and UMTS systems, wireless alert messages that are received by CMSP GWs will be<br />

transmitted to targeted coverage areas using GSM-UMTS Cell Broadcast Service (CBS). The CMAS<br />

functionality does not require modifications to the 3GPP-defined CBS.<br />

The ATIS WTSC-G3GSN Subcommittee is developing the CMAS via GSM-UMTS Cell Broadcast Service<br />

(CBS) Specification. 140 The purpose of this standard is to describe the use of the GSM-UMTS Cell<br />
