Technical Summary:
A method is described by which a Device is able to provide location-
related measurement data to a LIS within a request for location
information. Location-related measurement information are
observations concerning properties related to the position of a
Device, which could be data about network attachment or about the
physical environment. When a LIS generates location information for
a Device, information from the Device can improve the accuracy of the
location estimate. A basic set of location-related measurements are
defined, including common modes of network attachment as well as
assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) parameters.
Working Group Summary:
There is strong consensus around this document in the working group.
It is required for the HELD protocol to meet many use cases that are
satisfied with proprietary protocols today.
Document Quality:
There are a few existing prototype implementations of the protocol.
Prototype implementations were deployed at a few IETF meetings. The
document references standards from several other SDOs, so the authors
solicited reviews by experts on the relevant standards. The document
has been updated to the satisfaction of those experts.
