Recent FCC Actions

Request for Relief
* Over the past few years, carriers have been asserting
the need for relief from E-911 rules
* FCC set forth standard for carriers seeking relief:
>Plan that is specific, focused, and limited in scope
>As close as possible to full compliance
>Clear path to full compliance
7

Recent FCC Actions

Approval of Compliance Plans
* 10/5/01: FCC approved, with conditions and
modifications, revised implementation plans of five
nationwide wireless carrier
>Nextel, Sprint, Verizon and GSM portion of AT&T Wireless
and Cingular networks
>Sixth nationwide carrier VoiceStream had their plan
approved year before
>Plans contain specific schedules and benchmark
>Quarterly reports required to monitor compliance
>Move to enforcement mode

Points of Concern
Delay in reaching interim benchmarks towards full
compliance.

Some uncertainty about manufacturers producing
necessary equipment in timely fashion.


ILEC issues.

Funding for PSAPs.
Still a long road before end-to-end systems are
operational throughout the country.


Going forward
The tragedies of September 11 give a new sense of urgency to
the rollout of wireless E911. More than ever, mobiles phone have
become indispensable tools for calling for help and for delivering
help.

The
future of location technology is strong
*As
deployment proceeds, technology and system-wide performance will
improve.
*Customers
increasingly will insist on having it available (like air bags and
seatbelts in cars).
*Commercial
location-based services will add to customer value and
carrier revenue
But to get to the future, those involved-- including the FCC-will have to redouble efforts to see that the promise of this life
saving technology is fulfilled

-
+
 Only small software modifications in
the MS needed
 LMUs have to be placed between
every 1-3 base stations
 Utilises existing capabilities of the
GSM network
 Cost of network upgrade
 Accuracy between 50 and 300 m

Assisted GPS variants

MS based GPS
– Give full assistance data to MS
– Perform Position calculation in MS
– Greater MS complexity

MS assisted GPS
– Provide limited assistance data
– Return TDOA values
– Perform Position calculation in the network
– More signaling, no stand-alone position
27
04/22/02
A-GPS MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
-
+
 Lower power consumption than GPS
 Additional HW +SW in the MS
 Fast Time-To-First-Fix (TFF)
 A few DGPS reference receivers
needed
 Accuracy down to 10m
 Allows for navigation
 Limited indoor coverage (GPS has
no indoor coverage)
 Fall back solutions in comparison to
GPS

Summary of Network Impacts on Positioning
Accuracy
• Timing delays due to multipath and distributed components
• Cell size versus accuracy targets and traffic distribution
• Relative base station location and MS-BTS location
• BCCH and BSIC planning and adequate C/I(MS & LMU)
• Neighbor definitions and positioning considerations
•Mobile Station assistance Data
36
04/22/02
System Prerequisites for E-OTD
• Each cell seen by at least 1 LMU
• RXLev at LMU Antenna connector >= -110 dBm
• C/I at LMU >= 10 dB
• C/A (200 kHz) >= -8 dB
• C/A (400 kHz) >= -41 dB
• Mean excess delay for LMU is assumed to be 0.15 s
• GDOP between 1 and 1.5
• BTS coordinates known in three dimensions within 5-10 m
37

Network Recommendations to Meet Positioning
Accuracy Targets
Actions will be investigated in order increasing cost and complexity.
• BSIC Replanning
• BCCH Frequency Plan Retune
• Changes to Certain RN Features (HCS, Cell Load Sharing, etc.)
• Modifications to existing sites (antennas, output power, etc.)
• Site Additions in Certain Areas
