Using Device-Provided Location-Related Measurements in Location Configuration Protocols
RFC 7105, “Using Device-Provided Location-Related Measurements in Location Configuration Protocols”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2014 by M. Thomson, J. Winterbottom. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a protocol for a Device to provide location-related measurement data to a Location Information Server (LIS) within a request for location information. Location-related measurement information provides observations concerning properties related to the position of a Device; this information could be data about network attachment or about the physical environment. A LIS is able to use the location-related measurement data to improve the accuracy of the location estimate it provides to the Device. 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.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
