9.3.13  VAL Service Area configuration |R18|p. 99

9.3.13.1  Generalp. 99

The VAL service area refers to the geographical area(s) (e.g., coordinates, civic addresses, network areas) served by a VAL server. The VAL service area is identified by the VAL service area identifier (ID). The VAL server may have more than one VAL service area defined. These VAL service areas are configured by the VAL server to the location management server and are assigned with a unique VAL service area identifier. When the VAL service area configurations are in place the VAL server may use the VAL service area ID as part of the location information in the SEAL APIs requiring location information. These configurations can be updated by the VAL server in-order to modify the geographical area(s) associated with the VAL service area and when is updated, the SEAL internally manage the updates without requiring the VAL server to re-invoke the APIs where the updated VAL service area are being used.

9.3.14  Location profiling for supporting location service enablement |R18|p. 103

9.3.14.1  Location profilingp. 103

The location management server enhanced with the Fuse Location Function(FLF) supports the creation of location profiles for location service at the application enablement layer and the mapping of location profiles to one or more vertical applications. Location profiling is based on the vertical driven hybrid positioning requirements and policies.
The example of attributes that can be used for the location profiles is specified in Annex D.
Up

9.3.14.2  Procedure of Location profiling for location servicep. 103

The procedure includes the translation of the vertical request to a location profile and the derivation of the requested location information report.
Pre-condition:
The location management server has configured a set of location service profiles.
Reproduction of 3GPP TS 23.434, Fig. 9.3.14.2-1: Location profiling for location derivation and exposure
Up
Step 1.
The location management server receives a location reporting trigger from VAL server and activates a location reporting procedure as defined in clause 9.3.5.
Step 2.
The fused location function determines a mapping of the vertical location services to a location service profile based on the location request information, the location profiles and the location capability of VAL UE which registered to the location management server before.
Step 3a.
The location management server requests from the LMC the location information of the target VAL UE optionally with the requested location information (the access type, positioning method) based on the determined location profiles in location management server obtained in step 2.
Step 3b.
The location management client responds to the location management server the location report based on the request.
Step 4.
The location management server performs a location information request to one or more of the following (based on the location profile):
  • to GMLC directly or via NEF (as defined in TS 23.273), acting as AF.
  • to 3rd party location servers.
Step 5.
The fused location function calculates the location information based on combined location reports from step 3~4 and checks whether the location reports fulfil the location profile requirements.
Step 6-7.
If the requirements are not fulfilled, the location management server will repeat the step 3~5 iteratively to request location information and re-check whether the requirements are met or not.
Step 8.
If the requirements are fulfilled, the location management server sends the location information report to the VAL server.
