Public Safety Communications Europe (PSCE) and GSMA published two reports on critical communications internet of things (IoT).

SAFECOM 2020 Grant Guidance Notes Importance of Sustaining LMR Systems

U.K. Project to Boost Rural Coastal Coverage for First Responders

A concepts paper brings together a number of IoT concepts from a mission-critical communications perspective, specifically on public safety, and illustrates how IoT can be used in real-world scenarios to help solve problems.

The second document, a technical analysis of service levels, includes a definition of the three main phases of emergency management. The document also covers the 4G and 5G network attributes and parameters required to facilitate efficient critical communications IoT via a number of sample use cases. The use cases are presented in terms of their emergency management phase and include a brief summary of each scenario. In addition, the actors, data types and network attributes associated with each scenario are detailed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the use of IoT technology.

The documents are targeted at network operators and network and device equipment vendors. The documents may also be useful for the public-safety community to understand how IoT can be used for its purposes.

The documents are here.
