9 Cross Phase Compatibility between releases
22.0713GPPLocation Services (LCS)Release 17Service descriptionStage 1TS
This section details the cross-phase compatibility requirements relating to the service requirements in this document.
Note: when a change is introduced which affects the 3GPP specifications, it is said to be ‘backward compatible’ if existing equipment can continue to operate and perform correctly with equipment that conforms to the new implementation.
9.1 Compatibility with existing standards
Where the service and operational requirements in this document relate to a core network functionality, compatibility is required.
UTRAN, E-UTRAN, and NG-RAN LCS shall be developed to maximise synergies with earlier LCS phases.
9.2 Compatibility with future releases
It is envisaged that 3GPP standards will evolve in future releases, for example with the addition of new service requirements. The standards which define the technical implementation of LCS should be developed in such a way that it is practical to add the requirements in this section in a backward compatible manner.
Following chapters include requirements that are foreseen for future release.
9.2.1 Void
9.2.2 Location determination in call or PDP context activation and release
A possible future enhancement in LCS is that location information of a specific target UE may be obtained at the activation of a Call or PDP Context. A corresponding mechanism to obtain the location information of a specific target UE at the release of a Call or PDP Context may also be feasible.
9.2.3 Void
9.2.4 Defined geographical areas
It shall be possible to specify a geographical area as ellipse to a resolution that will be limited by the accuracy capability of the part of the serving network where the user is registered.
It may be possible to identify and report when the user’s terminal enters or leaves a specified geographic area.
In order to enable ME to determine itself if it enters or leaves a defined geographical area information about the defined geographical area shall be made available to client. The method is FFS, one alternative is that cells covering parts of the geographical area broadcasts information about the geographical area.
9.2.5 Continuous check of location
The client may continuously check its current location with or without requesting signalling support from the network using the Self Location feature. In this way the client may become aware of entering or leaving a predefined geographical area, as defined above, and/ or it can supply the user or an application with real-time tracking information.
9.2.6 Identification of a target UE
In future releases usage of IP addresses for UE identification shall be supported by the standard.
9.2.7 Void
9.2.8 VHE
LCS shall support VHE 22.121 [6].
Annex A (informative):
USA FCC Wireless E911 Rules
Action was taken by the FCC on January 29, 2015, with respect to E911 location technology by the Fourth Report and Order (FCC 15-9).The following revisions to the wireless E911 rules (see [12] and [13] for the specific rules) are reproduced from the Fourth Report and Order (revisions on compliance, enforcement, testing, test bed, reporting, submission of plans and reports is not included):
- Location Delivery Latency (Time to First Fix) is set at a maximum of 30 seconds from the time the user initiates an emergency service call to the time it is available at the location information center.
- Defines the following:
- Dispatchable location: A location delivered to the PSAP by the network with an emergency service call that consists of the street address of the calling party, plus additional information such as suite, apartment or similar information necessary to adequately identify the location of the calling party. The street address of the calling party must be validated and, to the extent possible, corroborated against other location information prior to delivery of dispatchable location information by the PLMN operator to the PSAP.
- National Emergency Address Database (NEAD): A database that utilizes MAC address information to identify a dispatchable location for nearby wireless devices within the PLMN operator’s coverage area.
- Nationwide PLMN operator: a PLMN operator whose service extends to a majority of the population and land area of the United States.
- Non-nationwide PLMN operator: Any PLMN operator other than a nationwide PLMN operator.
- Sets the following indoor location accuracy standards for 911 calls:
-
- For horizontal location
-
- Nationwide PLMN operators shall provide either a dispatchable location or x/y location within 50 meters for the following percentages of wireless emergency service calls within the following timeframes from the effective date of the adoption of these rules
- Within 2 years: 40% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Within 3 years: 50% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Within 5 years: 70% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Within 6 years: 80% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Non-nationwide PLMN operators shall provide either a dispatchable location or x/y location within 50 meters for the following percentages of wireless emergency service calls within the following timeframes from the effective date of the adoption of these rules
- Within 2 years: 40% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Within 3 years: 50% of all wireless emergency service calls
- Within 5 years or within 6 months of deploying VoLTE whichever is later: 70% of all wireless service calls
- Within 6 years or within one year of deploying VoLTE, whichever is later: 80% of all wireless emergency service calls
- For vertical location, PLMN operators shall provide vertical location information with wireless emergency service calls within the following timeframes from the effective date of the adoption of these rules
- Within 3 years: All PLMN operators shall make uncompensated barometric data available to PSAPs with respect to any 911 call placed from any UE with the capability to deliver barometric sensor information
- Within 3 years: Nationwide PLMN operators shall develop one or more z-axis metrics validated by an independently administered and transparent test bed process and shall submit the proposed metrics and testing results to the FCC for approval.
- Within 6 years: In each of the top 25 Cellular Market Areas (CMA), nationwide PLMN operators shall deploy either dispatchable location or z-axis technology in compliance with any z-axis accuracy metric that has been approved by the FCC.
- In each CMA where dispatchable location is used: nationwide PLMN operators must ensure that the NEAD is populated with a sufficient number of total dispatchable location reference points to equal 25% of the CMA population.
- In each CMA where z-axis is used: nationwide PLMN operators must deploy z-axis technology to cover 80% of the CMA population.
- Within 8 years: In each of the top 50 CMAs, nationwide PLMN operators shall deploy either dispatchable location or such z-axis technology in compliance with any z-axis accuracy metric that has been approved by the FCC.
- Non-nationwide PLMN operators that serve any of the top 25 or 50 CMAs will have an additional year to meet the vertical location benchmarks in C & D.
- Specifies the delivery of location confidence and uncertainty data
-
-
- PLMN operators shall provide for all wireless emergency service calls, whether from outdoor or indoor locations, x- and y-axis confidence and uncertainty information on a per-call basis upon the request of a PSAP. The data shall specify the caller’s location with a uniform confidence level of 90 percent and the radius in meters from the reported position at the same confidence level. All entities responsible for transporting confidence and uncertainty between CMRS providers and PSAPs including PLMN operators, owners of E911 networks and emergency service providers, must enable the transmission of confidence and uncertainty data provided by PLMN operators to the requesting PSAP.
- Upon meeting the 3 year timeframe for the horizontal location standards, PLMN operators shall provide with emergency service calls that have a dispatchable location the confidence and uncertainty data for the x- and y- axis required in these regulations.
- Upon meeting the 6 year timeframe for the horizontal location standards, PLMN operators shall provide with wireless emergency service calls that have a dispatchable location the confidence and uncertainty data for the x- and y- axis required in these regulations.
-
-
- Specifies the live emergency service call data recording requirements
-
-
-
- PLMN operators must record information on all live emergency calls including, but not limited to, the positioning source method used to provide a location fix associated with the call. PLMN operators must also record the confidence and uncertainty data they provide. This information must be made available to PSAPs upon request, and shall be retained for a period of two years.
-
-
-
- Defines when the requirements of the location accuracy regulations apply
The requirements shall be applicable only to the extent that the administrator of the applicable designated PSAP has requested the services required under these regulations and the PSAP is capable of receiving and utilizing the requested data elements and has a mechanism for recovering the PSAP’s costs associated with them.
Annex B (informative):
Descriptions of possible location based services
B1 Public Safety Services
Service providers offer these location-based services for the good of the public. They are made available without requiring pre-subscription.
B1.1 Emergency Services
Specific consideration of mandated Emergency Services is outside the scope of this specification. Such requirements may be regionally or nationally specific.
B1.1.1 Attributes
Specific consideration of the attributes for mandated Emergency Services is outside the scope of this specification. However, the current requirements specified by the U.S. FCC [12] and [13] may be useful as examples.
The FCC’s Fourth Report and Order (FCC 15-9) in the matter of Wireless E911 Location Accuracy Requirements (PS Docket No. 07-114), adopted January 29, 2015, is reproduced here:
All CMRS providers must provide (1) dispatchable location, or (2) x/y location within 50 meters, for the following percentages of wireless 911 calls within the following timeframes, measured from the effective date of rules adopted in this Order (“Effective Date”):
Within 2 years: 40 percent of all wireless 911 calls.
Within 3 years: 50 percent of all wireless 911 calls.
Within 5 years: 70 percent of all wireless 911 calls.
Within 6 years: 80 percent of all wireless 911 calls.
Within 6 years: Nationwide CMRS provides must deploy either (1) dispatchable location, or (2) z-axis technology that achieves the Commission-approved z-axis metric, in each of the top 25 Cellular Market Areas
Within 8 years: Nationwide CMRS providers must deploy dispatchable location or z-axis technology in accordance with the above benchmarks in each of the top 50 CMAs.
Note 1: The Fourth Report and Order definition of a dispatchable location as reproduced here:
Dispatchable location is the street address of the calling party plus additional information such as floor, suite, apartment or similar information that may be needed to adequately identify the location of the calling party. See the Report and Order [12] for more information.
The network should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate evolving enabling mechanisms and service requirements to provide new and improved services.
B1.1.2 Emergency Alert Services
Emergency Alert Services may be enabled to notify wireless subscribers within a specific geographic location of emergency alerts. This may include such alerts as tornado warnings, pending volcano eruptions, etc.
No requirements currently exist for Emergency Alert Services, and they may be considered for further study.
B2 Location Based Charging
Location Based Charging allows a subscriber to be charged different rates depending on the subscriber’s location or geographic zone, or changes in location or zone. The rates charged may be applicable to the entire duration of the call, or to only a part of call’s duration. This service may be provided on an individual subscriber basis, or on a group basis.
For example, when provided on an individual basis this service could apply reduced rates to those areas most often frequented by the subscriber by taking into consideration the subscriber’s daily route and lifestyle. Different rates may be applied at country clubs, golf courses, or shopping malls. For example, a "home" zone may be defined which is centered around a user’s home, an agreed larger area, work or travel corridor or some unrelated zone. The zone may vary in size and shape from a cell (or sector) coverage area to a precisely defined polygon completely independent of cell coverage.
Additionally, different rates may be applied in different zones based on the time of day or week.
In addition to being applicable on an individual basis, this service may be applicable on a group basis, which may be desirable for example, for business groups. Locations may be defined for business groups to include corporate campuses, work zones or business zones with different tiers of charging rates.
Individual and group subscribers should be notified of the zone or billing rate currently applicable, and be notified when the rate changes. Location Based Charging may be invoked upon initial registration. A charging zone would then be associated with the subscriber’s location. When the subscriber moves to a different zone, the subscriber would be notified.
This service should be transparently provided to the subscriber (i.e. independent of existing voice calls, data, or other services being provided).
B2.1 Attributes
Normal service operation includes invocation upon initial registration, autonomous registration, call origination, and call termination. Location-Based Charging should analyze location information to compare against service zones established for the subscriber. The service would notify the subscriber of their relative location to the established service zone, indicating either "in" or "out" of zone. As the subscriber changes location or predefined location service area they should be notified of their location-based charging service opportunity, being "in" or "out" of a subscribed zone. Except for subscriber notification, the user should experience transparency in interaction with other services (Voice, Data, SMS, etc).
This service may, as an option, be activated/de-activated using special feature codes on a subscriber or business customer basis.
B2.1.1 Target Subscriber Notification
The user needs to be informed on an ongoing basis which zone and billing rate is currently applicable.
Users should be enabled to make an informed decision on expected call charges and therefore need to be provided charging zone information accurately, and in a timely manner, being notified which zone they are in when a call is set up. Notification to the subscriber/user could be provided in several forms including tone, announcement, or short message.
The billing system will need to consider the following possible scenarios:
1. For the duration of the call, the subscriber remains in a single charging zone
2. During the call, the charging zones may change
2.1. The user may initiate a call in one zone, then move to a different zone where the call is terminated.
2.2. The user may cross back and forth between zones multiple times during the duration of a call, and the call may terminate in the zone it was originated from, or in a different zone.
Notification to the user may be via the UE MMI prior to initiation of the call and, during the call.
B2.1.2 Charging
To support appropriate charging, call detail records may need to include the following additional information:
1 Location Service (Location Based Charging) Identification
2 Location Information
3 Zone Information
4 Type of Event
5 Duration of Event
B2.1.3 Roaming
If a subscriber with active location-based charging roams into a system that does not support the service, the subscriber may be notified of an "out of coverage zone" notification using the best possible method (UE display, SMS, etc.).
B3 Tracking Services
Although Fleet and Asset Management services may be offered as separate services, within this document they are described as a single service category. In a similar manner, Person Tracking may be viewed as a form of personal asset tracking.
B3.1 Fleet and Asset Management Services
Fleet and Asset Management services allow the tracking of location and status of specific service group users. Examples may include a supervisor of a delivery service who needs to know the location and status of employees, parents who need to know where their children are, animal tracking, and tracking of assets.
The service may be invoked by the managing entity, or the entity being managed, depending on the service being provided.
Fleet Management may enable an enterprise or a public organization to track the location of vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) and use location information to optimize services.
Asset management services, for example, may range from asset visualization (general reporting of position) to stolen vehicle location and geofencing (reporting of location when an asset leaves or enters a defined zone). The range of attributes for these services is wide.
For Fleet and Asset Management services, a distinction may be made between the manager of the fleet/assets in charge of tracking, and the entities being tracked (service group users, etc). The tracking service may make use of mobile station handsets with possible specialized functions (Web browsers, etc) to allow for tracking and specific methods for communicating with the managing entity. A managing entity would be able to access one or several managed entities’ location and status information through a specified communication interface (Internet, Interactive Voice Response, Data service, etc). The managing entity would be able to access both real-time and recent location and status results of managed entities.
The network shall provide the capability to provide the last known location and timestamp. In cases where the service group user’s mobile station is not registered (i.e. Inactive, out of coverage) the last known location information and timestamp may optionally be provided. If this information is unavailable in real-time, a reason for why the information is unattainable may be provided. The managing entity may also be able to relay messages to service group users through the appropriate interface, as well as receive messages originated by the service group users.
Activation of Fleet and Asset Management services could be performed via subscriber provisioning by the service provider, as well as by offering subscriber-based service activation codes to the service group user/subscriber. The managing entity could also initiate service via requests to a provisioning system through Interactive Voice Response or Internet request. A feature code may optionally also be provided to allow for specific mobile user group subscriber activation by the managing entity (*FC + Mobile ID). A specific user group mobile could also be able to self-activate through the use of a feature code.
B3.2 Traffic Monitoring
Mobiles in automobiles on freeways anonymously sampled to determine average velocity of vehicles. Congestion detected and reported.
Congestion, average flow rates, vehicle occupancy and related traffic information can be gathered from a variety of sources including roadside telematic sensors, roadside assistance organizations and ad-hoc reports from individual drivers. In addition, average link speeds can be computed through anonymous random sampling of UE locations.
B3.2.1 Attributes
B3.2.1.1 Privacy
Anonymous sampling of target UE requires all unique information relating to the UE location to be retained by the network operator. Depending on the capabilities of the location method (ref. section 3.4) traffic behavior described above can only be determined if a UE is sampled at least twice within a finite predetermined period.
The UE identification must be sufficiently unique to allow time separated measurements to be paired before discarding the source UE identification.
The level of uniqueness can be a highly truncated form of the UE-IMSI (or equivalent). For example, maintaining 1000 unattached location estimates for subsequent pairing with future estimates will only require 3 least significant digits of the IMSI. Ambiguity in matching will occur but at a low (detectable) rate. Finally, all unattached estimates can be set to expire after a preset time.
B4 Enhanced Call Routing
Enhanced Call Routing (ECR) allows subscriber or user calls to be routed to the closest service client based on the location of the originating and terminating calls of the user. The user may optionally dial a feature or service code to invoke the service (*GAS for closest gas station, etc).
In addition to routing the call based on location, ECR should be capable of delivering the location information to the associated service client. For example, this capability may be needed for services such as Emergency Roadside Service. This could be used for the purpose of dispatching service agents for ECR service clients that can make use of this information.
ECR services may be offered, for example, through menu driven access allowing users to interactively select from a variety of services.
B5 Location-Based Information Services
Location-Based Information services allow subscribers to access information for which the information is filtered and tailored based on the location of the requesting user. Service requests may be initiated on demand by subscribers, or automatically when triggering conditions are met, and may be a singular request or result in periodic responses.
The following subsections provide some examples of possible location-based information services.
B5.1 Navigation
The purpose of the navigation application is to guide the handset user to his/her destination. The destination can be input to the terminal, which gives guidance how to reach the destination. The guidance information can be e.g. plain text, symbols with text information (e.g. turn + distance) or symbols on the map display. If the handset’s velocity is available in addition to its position, real-time, adaptable turn-by-turn directions can be provided. The instructions may also be given verbally to the users by using a voice call.
Note: this may involve a service provider giving verbal directions to a lost motorist or providing periodic short text messages (possibly using SMS), in addition to, or as an alternative to the provision of a graphic map.
This can be accomplished through carrying a mobile phone that has location technology capabilities down to a few feet. Less granularity impedes the applicability of this functionality.
This service can either be menu driven from a handset using SIM Application Toolkit or a WAP based terminal with a map application running – similar to a GPS system. A central server may handle all mapping of locations, and may save specific locations (i.e., favorite fishing holes).
B5.2 City Sightseeing
City Sightseeing would enable the delivery of location specific information to a sightseer. Such information might consist of combinations of the services described throughout this document to describe historical sites, providing navigation directions between sites, facilitate finding the nearest restaurant, bank, airport, bus terminal, restroom facility, etc.
B5.3 Location Dependent Content Broadcast
The main characteristic of this service category is that the network automatically broadcasts information to terminals in a certain geographical area. The information may be broadcast to all terminals in a given area, or only to members of specific group (perhaps only to members of a specific organization). The user may disable the functionality totally from the terminal or select only the information categories that the user is interested in.
An example of such a service may be localized advertising. For example, merchants could broadcast advertisements to passersby based on location / demographic / psychographic information (for example "today only, 30% off on blue jeans").
B5.4 Mobile Yellow Pages
The internet has also changed how people find phone numbers. Instead of thumbing through the yellow pages or calling Directory assistance you simply go online and search the number. The need for paper copy phonebooks is gone. Wireless takes this one step further by adding the location of the subscriber to the search. Now the phone number of the nearest location can be ascertained as opposed to all locations within a 50-mile area.
Mobile Yellow Pages services provide the user with the location of the nearest service point, e.g. Italian restaurant. The result of the query may be a list of service points fulfilling the criteria (e.g. Italian restaurants within three kilometers). The information can be provided to the users in text format (e.g. name of the restaurant, address and telephone number) or in graphical format (map showing the location of the user and the restaurants).
B5.5 Location Sensitive Internet
Location Sensitive Internet is for further study.
B6 Network Enhancing Services
The Network Enhancing Services described in this section are for further study and privacy issues will require further consideration.
B6.1 Applications for Network Planning
The network operator may be able to use location information to aid network planning. The operator may be able to locate calls in certain areas to estimate the distribution of calls and user mobility for network planning purposes. These applications may be used for hot spot detection and user behavior modeling
B6.2 Applications for Network QoS Improvements
The network operator may be able to use location services to improve the Quality of Service of the network. The location system may be used to track dropped calls to identify problematic areas. The system may also be used to identify poor quality areas.
B6.3 Improved Radio Resource Management
The location of the handset may be used for more intelligent handovers and more efficient channel allocation techniques.
