During incidents and disasters it is fundamental to provide to first responders high performance and reliable communications, in order to improve their coordination capabilities and their awareness of the surrounding environment, and to allow them to promptly transmit and receive alerts on possible dangerous situations or emergencies. The accurate evaluation of the performance of different Public Safety Communication (PSC) networking and communications technologies is therefore of paramount importance, and the characterization of the scenario in which these technologies need to operate is fundamental to obtain meaningful results. In this paper, we present the implementation of three reference PSC scenarios, which are open source and made publicly available to the research community, describing the incidents, the mobility and applications of first responders, and providing examples on how a mmWave-based Radio Access Network (RAN) can support high-traffic use cases. Moreover, we present the implementation of two novel mobility models for ns-3, which can be used to enable the simulation of realistic PSC scenarios in ns-3.
