2. 2 Communication User Location Services –Most Needed and Wanted Services Public Safety –Mobile Emergency Call Location (E-911 & E-112) –Law Enforcement Other Services –Navigation, Routing, and Direction of Movement –Asset tracking/telemetry –Billing based on location –Alerts based on location (ex: Road Congestion Alerts) –Tracking (ex: children) –Social Networking –Any other Service that is currently undefined or has not been thought about or is currently not considered a viable business –Privacy issues are non-trivial Highlight of Current Activities (1)

3. 3 Highlight of Current Activities (2) A new SIM card was introduced in February 2008 which has an embedded AGPS receiver –Generally works with legacy phones without any modifications –Apparently complies with 3GPP & OMA Specifications –Supports, to some degree, backward compatible with legacy UE’s –Supports LBS on SIM for most wireless UE and Network applications EU - Galileo GPS Satellite System will be operational by 2013 –Approved in November 2007 by 27 EU members –Will increase the TTFF when used in combination with US based GPS system Current Wireless location topics being developed by the industry: –Home Node B –VoIP –Data

4. 4 Strategic Direction As time goes on, Location Services will become more important for all users of wireless communications Technology is generally moving forward; however, location accuracy requirements are becoming tougher to achieve Altitude will become more important Combinations of technologies that cover in-building, rural, and urban canyon applications will become more important Tremendous resources are currently, and will in the future be required to achieve better accuracy based on regulatory requirements

5. 5 Challenges Continue to develop Location Services that achieve both better accuracy along with reasonable complexity in hardware, software, transport, and I/O of the devices that does not severely impact capacity and complexity in the wireless network.

6. 6 Next Steps/Actions Continue to work with the regulatory bodies that mandate accuracy requirements Work to achieve robust specifications/standards for implementations that will handle the anticipated increase in demand for Location Services

10. 10 Location Services (Wireless) Network Based Cell ID (CID) –Network Based Solution-commonly used today –Roaming is supported –Accuracy dependent on density of cells –Lowest complexity Enhanced Cell ID (E-CID) –CID including Timing Advance & Network Management Records –Roaming is supported –Accuracy dependent on density of cells

11. 11 Location Services (Wireless) (1/2) UE and Network Based E-OTD*, O-TDOA, U-TDOA** –Triangulation is used to calculate position –Accuracy varies with density of cells –Solutions that contain a bit more complexity –Roaming is not universally supported *Note: E-OTD is both Network and UE based **Note: U-TDOA-Initially implemented in North America for GSM

12. 12 Location Services (Wireless) (2/2) UE and Network Based AFLT: (See Note 1 below) –Based on the correlation of Test Drive RF Measurements up-loaded into the network and UE real-time, Base Station RF measurements, reported up to the network. –Commonly used to complement A-GPS UE’s in Urban canyon and in-building applications. Some call this a hybrid approach Note 1: Advanced Forward Link Trilateration (AFLT). A handset-based position location technology that doesn’t use A-GPS for location updates. The phone takes measurements of RF signals from the closer base stations and reports the timing (distance) readings up to the network which then calculates/correlates and reports the approximate location of the handset. Currently, a minimum of three surrounding base stations are required to get an optimal location.

13. 13 Location Services (Wireless) (1/4) Satellite-UE Based GPS (UE) solution –Less accuracy in Urban Canyon areas and in-buildings –Better accuracy in rural/wide-open spaces –Supports roaming and altitude applications A-GPS (UE) solution –Faster time to first fix (TTFF) –UE Velocity starting to be implemented (2008) –Supports roaming and altitude applications –Some service providers are requiring all newly deployed 3G UE’s to incorporate A-GPS in 2008 –As Galileo satellites come on line TTFF should improve

14. 14 Location Services (Wireless) (2/4) Satellite-UE Based A-GPS (OMA) Original implementation used signaling over the Control Plane OMA implemented a Secure User Plane for Location (SUPL) format which has the following advantages/disadvantages: +Uses standard TCP/IP connections (user plane) with no changes to the GSM Network Architecture -Slower Time to First Fix(TTFF)

15. 15 Location Services Regulatory Environment (FCC) FCC Mandated Requirements for 911 Call Location –Network based Accuracy within 100 Meters 67% of the cases Accuracy within 300 Meters 95% of the cases Deployment Timelines for operators are in place –Handset based Accuracy within 50 Meters 67% of the cases Accuracy within 150 Meters 95% of the cases Deployment Timelines for operators are in place

16. 16 ATIS Emergency Services Industry Forum (ESIF) –Mission: The mission of ESIF is to provide a forum to facilitate the identification and resolution of technical and/or operational issues related to the interconnection of wireline, wireless, cable, satellites, Internet and emergency services networks. –ATIS ESIF and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) are working collaboratively to develop protocols and network architecture for delivering emergency calls to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs). Location Services Standardization Activities - ATIS

17. 17 Location Services Standardization Activities - ATIS –In response to a request from the FCC’s Network Reliability & Interoperability Council 7 (NRIC 7), Focus Group 1A, ATIS ESIF developed the following standards: –ATIS-0500010 - Maintenance Testing Defines requirements and testing procedures needed to perform maintenance testing for accuracy, as well as the requirements and testing procedures needed for maintenance testing of end-to-end functionality in wireless E9-1-1 Phase 1 or Phase 2 systems.

18. 18 Location Services Standardization Activities - ATIS –ATIS-0500011 - Define Topologies & Data Collection Methodology Defines the topologies in which representative location accuracy data should be aggregated, and the methodology to accomplish this data analysis. Once compiled, this information may provide guidance to the Public Safety authorities on the typical performance in a given usage environment (e.g., dense urban, urban, suburban, rural) of the various location technologies currently in use by wireless carriers.
