Abstract
This document presents the framework and requirements for usage of
the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to convey user location
information from one Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) entity to
another SIP entity. We consider cases where location information is
conveyed from end to end, as well as cases where message routing by
intermediaries is influenced by the location of the session
initiator. We offer a set of solutions to the requirements, based
on the scenario(s) being addressed.

1. Introduction
This document presents the framework and requirements for the usage
of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [1] for conveyance of user
location information described by [7] from a SIP entity to another
SIP entity.
There are several situations in which it is appropriate for SIP to
be used to convey Location Information (LI) from one SIP entity to
another. This document specifies requirements when a SIP UAC knows
its location by some means not specified herein, and needs to inform
another SIP entity. One example is one user agent informing another
user agent where it is (you want to tell your friend where you are).
Polk & Rosen [Page 2]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
Another example is to reach your nearest pizza parlor. A chain of
pizza parlors may have a single well known uri
(sip:pizzaparlor.com), that is forwarded to the closest franchise by
the pizzaparlor.com proxy server. The receiving franchise UAS uses
the location information of the UAC to schedule your delivery.
Another important example is emergency calling. A call to
sip:sos@example.com is an emergency call as in [3]. The example.com
proxy server must route the call to the correct emergency response
center (ERC) determined by the location of the caller. At the ERC,
the UAS must determine the correct police/fire/ambulance/...
service, which is also based on your location. In many
jurisdictions, precise location information of the caller in
distress is a required component of a call to an emergency center.
A forth example is a direction service, which might give you verbal
directions to a venue from your present position. This is a case
where only the destination UAS needs to receive the location
information.
This document does not discuss how the UAC discovers or is
configured with its location (either coordinate or civic based). It
also does not discuss the contents of the Location Object (LO). It
does specify the requirements for the "using protocol" as defined by
Geopriv in [7].
Sections 7, 8 and 9 give specific examples (in well-formed SIP
messages) of SIP UA and Proxy behavior for location conveyance, the
last of which is a section devoted to the unique circumstances
regarding emergency calling. Section 10 addresses how this document
adheres to the requirements specified in [7] (Geopriv Requirements).
Sections 11 and 12 list the current open issues with location
conveyance in SIP, and the new open issues recently discovered as a
result of the added effort to this revision.
1.1 Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL
NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described
in [2].
1.2 Changes from Prior Versions
[NOTE TO RFC-EDITOR: If this document is to be published as an RFC,
this section is to be removed prior to that event.]
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the -01
working group version of this effort to this -02 version:
Polk & Rosen [Page 3]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
- added requirements for 2 new 4XX error responses (Bad Location
Information) and (Retry Location Body)
- added "Bad Location Information" as section 8.6
- added "Retry Location Body " as section 9.3
- added support for session mode to cover packet sizes larger than
the single packet limit of 1300 bytes in the message body
- added requirement for a SIP entity to SUBSCRIBE to another for
location information
- added SUBSCRIBE and NOTIFY as section 8.5
- added requirement to have user turn off any tracking created by
subscription
- removed doubt about which method to use for updating location
after a INVITE is sent (update)
- cleaned up which method is to be used if there is no dialog
existing (message)
- removed use of reINVITE to convey location
- clarified that UAs include <provided-by> element of PIDF-LO when
placing an emergency call (to inform ERC who supplied Location
information)
- updated list of open issues
- added to IANA Considerations section for the two new 4XX level
error responses requested in the last meeting
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the -00
working group version of this ID to this version:
- Added the offered solution in detail (with message flows,
appropriate SIP Methods for location conveyance, and
- Synchronized the requirements here with those from the Geopriv
Working Group's (attempting to eliminate overlap)
- Took on the task of making this effort the SIP "using protocol"
specification from Geopriv's POV
- Refined the Open Issues section to reflect the progress we've made
here, and to indicate what we have discovered needs addressing,
but has not been to date.
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the -01
Polk & Rosen [Page 4]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
individual submission version to the WG -00 version of this ID:
- Brian Rosen was brought on as a co-author
- Requirements that a location header were negatively received in
the previous version of this document. AD and chair advice was to
move all location information into a message body (and stay away
from headers)
- Added a section of "emergency call" specific requirements
- Added an Open Issues section to mention what hasn't been resolved
yet in this effort
This is a list of the changes that have been made from the
individual submission version -00 to the -01 version
- Added the IPR Statement section
- Adjusted a few requirements based on suggestions from the
Minneapolis meeting
- Added requirements that the UAC is to include from where it
learned its location in any transmission of its LI
- Distinguished the facts (known to date) that certain jurisdictions
relieve persons of their right to privacy when they call an ERC,
while other jurisdictions maintain a person's right to privacy,
while still others maintain a person's right to privacy - but only
if they ask that their service be set up that way.
- Made the decision that TLS is the security mechanism for location
conveyance in emergency communications (vs. S/MIME, which is still
the mechanism for UA-to-UA non-emergency location conveyance
cases).
- Added the Open Issue of whether a Proxy can insert location
information into an emergency SIP INVITE message, and some of the
open questions surrounding the implications of that action
- added a few names to the acknowledgements section
2. In the Body or in a Header
When one user agent wants to inform another user agent where they
are, it seems reasonable to have this accomplished by placing the
location information (coordinate or civic) in an S/MIME registered
and encoded message body, and sending it as part of a SIP request or
response. No routing of the request based on the location
information is required in this case; therefore no SIP Proxies
between these two UAs need to view the location information
Polk & Rosen [Page 5]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
contained in the SIP messages.
Although SIP [1} does not permit a proxy server to modify or delete
a body, there is no restriction on viewing bodies. However, S/MIME
protection implemented on bodies is only specified between UAC and
UAS, and if engaged, would render the location object opaque to a
proxy server for any desired modification if it is not correct or
precise enough from that proxy's point of view (were it to be able
to view it). This problem is similar to that raised in Session
Policy [8], where an intermediary may need information in a body,
such as IP address of media streams or codec choices to route a call
properly. Requirements in [8] are applicable to routing based on
location, and are incorporated in these requirements by reference.
It is conceivable to create a new header for location information.
However, [7] prefers S/MIME for security of Location Information,
and indeed S/MIME is preferable in SIP for protecting one part of a
message. Accordingly, these requirements specify location be
carried in a body.
It is the use of S/MIME however, that limits routing based on
location. Therefore, it seems appropriate to require that, where
routing is dependent on location, protection of the location
information object be accomplished by other mechanisms: here TLS
("sips:" from [1]). It is envisioned that S/MIME SHOULD be used
when location information is not required by proxy servers, and TLS
MUST be used when it is. The UAC will need to know the difference
in the call's intent as to which security mechanism to engage for LI
conveyance.
This document does not address the behavior or configuration of SIP
Proxy Servers in these cases in order to accomplish location-
sensitive routing. That is out of scope, and left for further
(complementary) efforts.
3. Scope of Location in a Message Body
As concluded from the previous section, location information is to
be contained within a message body. If either another body (SDP for
example) is also to be sent in the message, or the LI is to be
protected with S/MIME, the rules stated in section 7 of [1]
regarding multipart MIME bodies MUST be followed. The format and
privacy/security rules of the location information SHOULD be defined
within the Geopriv WG.
User agents providing location can perform this function
incorrectly. Therefore, there needs to be a UAC error response code
created to inform the UAC by a UAS or Proxy of this incorrect
request message containing location information.
There will be times in which the UAC does not know its location
Polk & Rosen [Page 6]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
information, or another SIP entity knows the UAC's location better
than the UAC itself. How this is determined is out of scope of this
document. In these times, a Proxy servers that knows the location
of the UAC needs inform the UAC of its location information and have
that UAC include that message body in its next SIP message to the
same destination UA. This error code needs to be unique with
respect to the error code for merely incorrect location information
from the UAC.
4. Requirements for UA-to-UA Location Conveyance
The following are the requirements for UA-to-UA Location Conveyance
Situations where routing is not based on the LI of either UA:
U-U1 - MUST work with dialog-initiating SIP Requests and responses,
as well as the SIP MESSAGE method [4], and SHOULD work with
most SIP messages.
U-U2 - UAC Location information SHOULD remain confidential in route
to the destination UA.
U-U3 - The privacy and security rules established within the
Geopriv Working Group that would categorize SIP as a 'using
protocol' MUST be met [7].
U-U4 - Location information MUST be contained in the location
Object as defined in [13], which will satisfy all format
requirements for interoperability.
U-U5 - SHOULD be able to communicate location between user agents
with as many packets as is necessary.
U-U6 - There MUST be a unique UAC error response code informing the
UAC is did not provide valid location information.
5. Requirements for UA-to-Proxy Server Location Conveyance
The following are the requirements for UA-to-Proxy Server Location
Conveyance situations:
U-PS1 - MUST work with dialog-initiating SIP Requests and
responses, as well as the SIP MESSAGE method[4], and SHOULD
work with most SIP messages.
U-PS2 - UAC location information SHOULD remain confidential with
respect to entities to which the location information is
not addressed, but MUST be useable by intermediary proxy
servers.
U-PS3 - The privacy and security rules established within the
Polk & Rosen [Page 7]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
Geopriv Working Group which would categorize SIP as a
'using protocol' MUST be met [7].
U-PS4 - Modification or removal of the LO by proxy servers MUST NOT
be required (as [1] currently forbids this).
U-PS5 - any mechanism used to prevent unwanted observation of this
Location Information MUST NOT fail the SIP Request if not
understood by intermediary SIP entities or the destination
UAS.
U-PS6 - Proxy Servers that do not or cannot understand the Location
Information in the message body for routing purposes MUST
NOT fail the SIP Request.
U-PS7 ˇ It MUST be possible for a proxy server to assert the
validity of the location information provided by the UA.
Alternatively, it is acceptable for there to be a mechanism
for a proxy server to assert a location object itself.
U-PS8 - There MUST be a unique UAC error response code informing
the UAC is did not provide valid location information.
U-PS9 - There MUST be a unique UAC error response code informing
the UAC it did not provide valid location information, and
to include the location information contained in the
message body of the error message in its next attempt to
the same UAS of the original message.
6. Additional Requirements for Emergency Calls
Emergency calls have requirements that are not generally important
to other uses for location in SIP:
Emergency calls presently have between 2 and 8-second call setup
times. There is ample evidence that the longer call setup end of
the range causes an unacceptable number of callers to abandon the
call before it is completed. Two-second call completion time is a
goal of many existing emergency call centers. Allocating 25% of the
call set up for processing privacy concerns seems reasonable; 1
second would be 50% of the goal, which seems unacceptable; less than
0.5 second seems unachievable, therefore:
E-1 - Privacy mechanisms MUST add no more than 0.5 second of call
setup time when implemented in present technology UAs and
Proxy Servers.
It may be acceptable for full privacy mechanisms related to the
location of the UAC (and it's user) to be tried on an initial
attempt to place a call, as long as the call attempt may be retried
without the mechanism if the first attempt fails. Abandoning
Polk & Rosen [Page 8]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
privacy in cases of failure of the privacy mechanism might be
subject to user preference, although such a feature would be within
the domain of a UA implementation and thus not subject to
standardization. It should be noted that some jurisdictions have
laws that explicitly deny any expectation of location privacy when
making an emergency call, while others grant the user the ability to
remain anonymous even when calling an ERC. So far, this has been
offered in some jurisdictions, but the user within that jurisdiction
must state this preference, as it is not the default configuration.
E-2 ˇ Privacy mechanisms MUST NOT be mandatory for successful
conveyance of location during an (sos-type) emergency call.
E-3 - It MUST be possible to provide a privacy mechanism (that does
not violate the other requirements within this document) to a
user within a jurisdiction that gives that user the right to
choose not to reveal their location even when contacting an
ERC.
E-4 ˇ The retention and retransmission policy of the ERC MUST be
able to be made available to the user, and override the
user's normal policy when local regulation governs such
retention and retransmission (but does not violate
requirement E-3). As in E-2 above, requiring the use of the
ERC's retention and/or retransmission policy may be subject
to user preference; although in most jurisdictions, local
laws specify such policies and may not be overridden by user
preference.
Location information is considered so important during emergency
calls, that it is to be transmitted even when it is not considered
reliable, or might even be wrong. For example, some application
might know that the DHCP reply with location information was
overwritten recently (or exactly) when a VPN connection was
activated. This could, and likely will, provide any new location
information to the UA from somewhere far away from the UA (perhaps
the user's corporate facility).
E-5 Location information MUST be transmitted, if known to the UAC,
in all calls to an ERC, even in the case it is not considered
reliable.
With that in mind, it is important to distinguish the location
information learned locally from LI learned over a VPN; which in
itself is useful additional information to that ERC operator.
E-7 THE UA must provide the actual LI of the endpoint, and not
location which might have been erroneously given to it by, e.g.
a VPN tunnel DHCP server.
E-8 An ERC MAY wish to SUBSCRIBE to the UAC that initiated a
Polk & Rosen [Page 9]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
session. If this is supported by the UAC, all NOTIFY messages
MUST contain the UAC's location information.
This is a means for the emergency response centers to maintain a
location the callers in distress.
E-9 It MUST be possible that any UAC supporting E-8 be informed of
this subscription, as this will provide a means of alert to the
user who does not wish this capability to remain enabled.
7. Location Conveyance using SIP
Geopriv is the IETF working group assigned to define a Location
Object for carrying within another protocol to convey geographic
location of an endpoint to another entity. This Location Object
will be supplied within SIP to convey location of a UA (or user of a
UA). The Location Object (LO) is defined in [13]. Section 26 of [1]
defines the security functionality SIPS for transporting SIP
messages with either TLS or IPsec, and S/MIME for encrypting message
bodies from SIP intermediaries that would otherwise have access to
reading the clear-text bodies. For UA-to-UA location conveyance,
using the PIDF-LO body satisfies the entire format and message-
handling requirements as stated in the baseline Geopriv requirements
[7]. SIP entities that will carry an LO MUST implement S/MIME for
encrypting on an end-to-end basis the location of a user agent,
satisfying [7]'s security requirements. The SIPS-URI from [1]
SHOULD also be used for further message protection (message
integrity, authentication and message confidentiality) and MUST be
used when S/MIME is not used. The entities sending and receiving
the LO MUST obey the privacy and security instructions in the
LO to be compliant with this specification.
Self-signed certificates SHOULD NOT be used for protecting LI, as
the sender does not have a secure identity of the recipient.
Several LOs MAY be included in a body. If the message length
exceeds the maximum message length of a single packet, session mode
is to be used.
Several SIP Methods are capable (and applicable) to carry the LO.
The Methods are divided into two groups, one for those applicable
for UA-to-UA location conveyance, and the other group for UA-to-
Proxy Location conveyance for routing the message.
The list of applicable Methods for UA-to-UA location conveyance is:
INVITE,
UPDATE,
MESSAGE, and
PUBLISH.
Polk & Rosen [Page 10]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
The list of applicable Methods for UA-to-Proxy location conveyance
is:
INVITE,
UPDATE,
MESSAGE, and
SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY
While the authors do not yet see a reason to have location conveyed
in the OPTIONS, ACK, PRACK, BYE, REFER and CANCEL Methods, we do not
see a reason to prevent carrying a LO within these Method Requests
as long as the SIP message meets the requirements stated within this
document.
A 200 OK to an INVITE MAY carry the UAS's LO back to the UAC that
provided its location in the INVITE, but this is not something
that can be required due to the timing of the INVITE to 200 OK
messages, with potential local/user policy requiring the called user
to get involved in determining if the caller is someone they wish to
give location to (and at what precision).
There is an open question as to whether there needs to be a new
event package created for a SUBSCRIBE such that one SIP entity
(perhaps a service using SIP) can request the ability to have a
remote UA's location refreshed at some interval. This idea is not
explored further in this version of the document. The capability to
have location information refreshed between devices is out of scope
within the Geopriv working group at this time, but could easily
become part of the "using protocol's" capabilities without violating
any of the Geopriv Requirements in [7]. The authors want feedback
on incorporating this into this document, or a separate document.
For UA-to-Proxy location conveyance, there are two cases: one in
which all proxies on the path from the UA to the proxy that requires
location can be trusted with the LI, and one in which intermediate
proxies may not be trusted. The former may be implemented with
"hop-by-hop" security as specified in [1] using sips: (i.e. TLS
security). In particular, emergency call routing requires routing
proxies to know location, and sips: protection is appropriate. The
latter case is under study by the SIPPING working group under the
subject "End to Middle" security [12].
Regardless which scenario (UA-to-UA or UA-to-Proxy) is used to
convey location, SIP entities MUST adhere to the rules of [7],
specifically the retention and distribution (privacy) attributes of
a UA's location. When Alice is deciding how to transmit her
location, she should be keenly aware of the parameters in which she
wants her location to be stored and distributed. However, once she
sends that location information to Bob, he MUST also now obey
Alice's wishes regarding these privacy attributes if he is deciding
to inform another party about Alice. This is a fundamental
principle of the Geopriv Working Group, i.e. "PRIVACY".

8. User Agent-to-User Agent Location Conveyance
The offered solution here for the User-to-User solution for location
conveyance between UAs is used with the INVITE, UPDATE, MESSAGE, and
PUBLISH Methods in the following subsections.
8.1 UA-to-UA using INVITE Method
Below is a common SIP session set-up sequence between two user
agents. In this example, Alice will provide Bob with her geographic
location in the INVITE message.
UA Alice UA Bob
| INVITE [M1] |
|---------------------------------------->|
| |
| 200 OK [M2] |
|<----------------------------------------|
| |
| ACK [M3] |
|---------------------------------------->|
| |
| RTP |
|<=======================================>|
| |
Figure 1. UA-UA with Location in INVITE
User agent Alice invites user agent Bob to a session [M1 of Figure
1]. Within this INVITE is a multipart body indication that it is
S/MIME encrypted [according to the rules of 1] by Alice for Bob.
One body part contains the SDP offered by Alice to Bob. Alice's
location (here coordinate based) is the other body part contained in
this INVITE. Bob responses with a 200 OK [M2] (choosing a codec as
specified by the Offer/Answer Model [14]). Bob can include his
location in the 200 OK response, but this shouldn't be expected due
to user timing. If Bob wants to provide his location to Alice after
the 200 OK, but before a BYE, the UPDATE Method [9] should be used.
Alice's UA replies with an ACK and the session is set up.
Figure 1. does not include any Proxies because in it assumed they
would not affect the session set-up with respect to whether or not
Alice's location is in a message body part, and Proxies don't react
to S/MIME bodies, making their inclusion more or less moot and more
complex than necessary.
The most relevant message in Figure 1 having to do with location is
(obviously) the message with the location object in it [M1]. So to
cut down on length of this document, only the INVITE message in this

example will be shown. Section 8.1.1 will give an example of this
well formed INVITE message using a Coordinate location format.
Section 8.1.2 will give an example of this well formed INVITE
message using the civic location format.

8.1.3 UA-to-UA Location Conveyance Involving 3 Users
In the following example, Alice presents her location in the INVITE
to Bob, which Bob 200 OKs with his location as well. Bob then
directs Alice to contact Carol. The REFER Method [15] is used in
the message sequence, but it does not carry anyone's location within
the REFER message. This example is here to show a 3-way
communication of location, coupled with how a UA can include someone
else's location. This has security implications due to neither
primary party in the last location transfer being the owner of the
location information. Alice (in this case) MUST adhere to the
retention and distribution privacy requirements within Bob's
location object regarding his location information prior to
considering its inclusion in the INVITE to Carol.

In Figure 1a., we have an example message flow involving the REFER
Method. The REFER itself does not carry location objects.
We are not including all the messages for space reasons. M1 is a
well-formed SIP message that contains Alice's location. M2 is Bob's

It is an open question of whether there should be a mechanism to
request or require the transmission of an LO. The LO is contained
in a body, so the available sip mechanisms do not apply.
8.2 UA-to-UA Using MESSAGE Method
Anytime a user transmits location information outside a dialog, the
MESSAGE Method is to be used. The logic here is as follows:
- UPDATE isn't appropriate because it is for the updating of
session capabilities and parameters of a dialog (after the
INVITE included location information).
- reINVITE isn't appropriate because it is only used (or only
Polk & Rosen [Page 24]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
supposed to be used) for changing the parameters of an existing
dialog, and one might not exist in all cases of location
conveyance.
This leaves MESSAGE as the only viable Request Method for location
conveyance outside of a dialog between two users (Alice and Bob in
this case). The following is an example of this communication.

Section 8.2.1 will give the well formed MESSAGE Method containing a
well formed Geopriv Location Object using the Coordinate location
format that fully complies with all security requirements - SIPS for
hop-by-hop security, and S/MIME for message body confidentiality
end-to-end, as well as adhering to the retention and distribution
concerns from [7]. Section 8.2.2 will show the Civic Location
format alternative to the same location, as conveyed from Alice to
Bob. This section does not adhere to confidentiality or integrity
concerns of [7], but does convey retention and distribution
indicators from Alice.

8.3 UA-to-UA Location Conveyance Using UPDATE
UPDATE MUST NOT be used to send location information from UA-to-UA
Polk & Rosen [Page 27]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
unless location has already been sent in an INVITE or corresponding
200 OK that was the first message exchange in the same dialog set-
up. The same security properties used in the INVITE MUST be used in
the UPDATE message.
The UPDATE Method is to be used any time location information is to
be updated between UAs setting up a dialog or after the dialog has
been established, no matter how long that dialog has been
operational. reINVITE is out of scope here, and the MESSAGE Method
is for non-dialog location conveyance between UAs only.
One reason for this message being generated is if either UA that
sent its location information to the other UA (say in the INVITE and
corresponding 200 OK) is if either UA determines that is has moved
while the dialog has remained operational. How this movement is
determined is outside the scope of this document, but ultimately
should be configurable by local administration or the user of the
UA. By how much Alice has moved to trigger the "sense of movement"
(i.e. the need to send new location) to Bob is also outside the
scope of this specification, but ultimately should be configurable
by local administration or the user of the UA.
In Figure 3., we have an example message flow involving the UPDATE
Method. We are not including all the messages for space reasons. M1
is a well formed SIP message that contains Alice's location. During
the session set-up, Alice's UA knows it has moved while knowing too
the session has not been formally accepted by Bob. Alice's UA
decides to update Bob with her new location with an UPDATE Method
message. Messages M2, M3 and M4 have nothing to do with location
conveyance, therefore will not be shown in detail. Only M1 and M5
will be shown.
NOTE: A similar use for UPDATE is within the UA-to-Proxy Location
Conveyance section of this document.

** This section could not be completed before submission time and
will be completed shortly after IETF61. A thousand and one pardons.

This section was not completed in time for the ID cut-off, thus all

8.6 424 "Bad Location Information" Error Response
In the case that a user agent server or SIP Proxy detects an error
in a message containing location information specific to that
message body, a new 4XX level error needs to be sent. This document
creates the new error code:
424 (Bad Location Information)
This will provide the UAC with directed feedback about the status of
location information it sent to that UAS or Proxy. The UAC MAY
attempt to retry sending the message providing its location.
This new error code will be IANA registered.
An example flow of this scenario will be included in the next
version of this internet draft.
9. Special Considerations for Emergency Calls
When a Proxy Server knows to look for a location message body to
route an emergency call as in [11].
Emergency calls, which might be detected as detailed in [3], have
special rules for conveyance of location:
1. An emergency call MUST have all LI available to the UA, if any,
sent with the INVITE, and subsequent UPDATE or reINVITE messages
Polk & Rosen [Page 32]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
as a PIDF-LO in a body
2. The LO must be protected with sips: unless the attempt to
establish hop-by-hop TLS connection fails and cannot reasonably
be established in a very short (less than a second) time. In
such a case, the LO SHOULD be sent without TLS ONLY for those
hops that failed to support TLS establishment.
3. User Agents MUST NOT use S/MIME
4. User Agents MUST include the <provided-by> element in the PIDF-LO
(if known) to give the ERC an indication as to who is responsible
for providing the UA with its location information.
Proxies MUST NOT remove a location message body at any time. In the
case where the Proxy knows the location of the UAC and does not
detect the UAC's location information message body in the message
(or determines the LO is bad), the Proxy generates a new 4XX (Retry
Location Body) error message that includes a location information
message body for that UAC to include in the subsequent message. The
user agent MUST include this message body in the subsequent
emergency message.
In the <provided-by> element of the PIDF-LO, the Proxy MUST identify
itself as the source of this location information. The user agent
MUST NOT alter this field's value if received from a Proxy server.
If the UAS of the ERC receives a SIP request with multiple location
objects, it must determine which to use, since more than one may be
present. This specification does not limit the number of LOs in a
message, even in session mode.
9.1 UA-to-Proxy Routing the Message with INVITE (secure)
When Alice signifies "sos@" [per 3], her UA must understand this
message MUST NOT use S/MIME for the message body, because this is an
emergency call - otherwise the message will not properly route to
the correct destination. Two definite possibilities will exist for
how this message flow will occur [note: the message flows are not
being defined here, they are defined in [11], but two are shown here
to show the messages themselves]. The first possibility has Alice
sending her INVITE to her first hop Proxy, which recognizes the
message as an emergency message. The Proxy knows to look into the
message bodies for the location body; determine where Alice is and
route the call to the appropriate ERC. This is shown in Figure 4A.

Once the Proxy receives M1 and recognizes it as an emergency INVITE
Request, this proxy knows to look into the message body for a
location body part to determine the location of the UAC in order to
match the location to an ERC. Once this look-up occurs, the message
is sent directly to the ERC (in message [M2]).

The second probability in message flows is in Figure 4B. in which
the first hop Proxy does not either: understand location, or does
not know where the appropriate ERC is to route the message to. In
either case, that Proxy forwards the message to another Proxy for
proper message routing ([11] talks to how this occurs).

Figure 4B. UA-PROXY with Location in INVITE
In message flows similar to 4A and/or 4B, the Record-Route header
could be added by the proxies, this is OPTIONAL in usage and left to
other documents to refine.
In the case of an identifiable emergency call, something that cannot
happen is for any Proxy to Challenge [per 1] the INVITE message. In
fact, while usage of the SIPS URI is encouraged and SHOULD be used,
it MUST NOT be mandatory for successful message routing. If the
first SIPS INVITE fails for security property reasons, the second
attempt by Alice (in these examples) MUST be allowed to be in the
clear, not challenged, and routed properly. Security mechanisms
MUST NOT fail any call attempt, and if they do once, they MUST NOT
Polk & Rosen [Page 36]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
be mandatory for the subsequent attempt for a successful session
set-up to an ERC. The results of this are that the Proxy that
failed the first attempt for security reasons MUST be aware of this
failed attempt for the subsequent attempt that MUST process without
failure a second time. It must be assumed that the INVITE in any
instance is considered "well formed".
The remaining messages in both 4A and 4B are not included at this
time. If the working groups wants these added, they will be in the
next revision of this document.

Below can be considered the initial unsecure INVITE M1 from Figures

was failed by a Proxy. This version of M1 is not using any security
measures and is using the civic format message body that is the
identical location to the previous example.

9.2 UA-to-Proxy Routing with UPDATE
If the previous example of the location contained in the INVITE were
to account for the movement of Alice (and her UA) before the ERC
responded with a 200 OK, the UPDATE method is the appropriate SIP
Request Method to use to update the proxies and ERC personnel that
Alice has moved locations from where she initially made her set-up
request.
In this scenario (shown in the call flow of Figure 5A), Alice
sending the UPDATE message here may cause the Proxy to CANCEL an
existing pending INVITE Request, and retransmit INVITE to a NEW
ERC(2), for example, if she walked across a street into a new ERC
coverage area. The Proxy MUST remain transaction stateful in order
to be aware of the 200 OK Response from ERC1. Upon receiving the
UPDATE from Alice and analyzing the location provided by the message
Polk & Rosen [Page 38]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
looking for a location change, either forwarding that message to
ERC1 if the change is still within ERC1's coverage area, or deciding
to forward a message to another ERC covering where Alice is now
(ERC2 in this case) with her new location. If the latter change in
destinations is required, the Proxy MUST CANCEL the pending INVITE
to ERC1 (with a 487 "terminated request" being the specified
response).
SIPS SHOULD be used by Alice initially. Upon any failure of the
initial Request, Alice's UA MUST decide to send the new message
without SIPS.

Alice moves locations (with her UA detecting the movement), causing
her UA to generate an UPDATE message ([M5] of Figure 3) prior to her
UA receiving a final response from the ERC. In this case, Alice has
walked across the South Wacker Drive to another building. Here is
that message:

9.2.2 UA-to-Proxy Routing the Message with UPDATE (unsecure)
left blank for now
9.3 425 "Retry Location Body" Error Response
In the case that a SIP Proxy detects an error in a message
containing location information specific to that message body and
has the location of that UAC locally, a new 400 level error needs to
be sent back to the UAC to instruct the UAC to include the included
location information message body in a subsequent message. This
document creates the new error code:
425 (Retry Location Body)
The UAC MUST ]retransmission of the failed message including this
Polk & Rosen [Page 42]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
new location information. User agents may conclude they have
already supplied a proper LO in the failed request. That LO can be
resent, but the Proxy supplied LO MUST be included as well.
This new error code will be IANA registered.
An example flow of this scenario will be included in the next
version of this internet draft.
10. Meeting RFC3693 Requirements
Section 7.2 of [7] details the requirements of a "using protocol".
They are:
Req. 4. The using protocol has to obey the privacy and security
instructions coded in the Location Object and in the
corresponding Rules regarding the transmission and storage of the
LO.
This document requires, in Section 7, that SIP entities sending or
receiving location MUST obey such instructions.
Req. 5. The using protocol will typically facilitate that the keys
associated with the credentials are transported to the respective
parties, that is, key establishment is the responsibility of the
using protocol.
[1] and the documents it references define the key establish
mechanisms.
Req. 6. (Single Message Transfer) In particular, for tracking of
small target devices, the design should allow a single
message/packet transmission of location as a complete
transaction.
This document specifies that the LO be contained in the body of a
single message.
11. Current Known Open issues
This is a list of open issues that have not yet been addressed to
conclusion:
1) Should a Proxy somehow label its location information in the 4XX
(Retry Location Body) message?
2) Still have not determined how a SIP entity can request location
to be delivered in a certain format (civil vs. coordinate).
3) Still have not determined how a UAC can request the UAS return
Polk & Rosen [Page 43]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
its location in a 1XX or 2XX response
4) Still have not determined if a Redirect model should be accounted
for (if the 3XX response includes LI, does that get included in
the new Request by the UAC?)
5) This document needs to be renamed within SIPPING to remove the
"requirements" portion
6) From section 9.2 (Emergency call with an updated location), if
Alice does venture into another coverage area, how does her new
UPDATE with new location get sent to a second (and now
appropriate) ERC(2)?
The pending INVITE needs to be cancelled or able to be
sequentially forked (which not all Proxies will be able to do).
Without that occurring, the new UPDATE will not cause a new
INVITE to be originated from the Proxy towards ERC2... and what
happens to the UPDATE message (which cannot be an original
request into ERC2)?
12. New Open Issues
These are new open issues to be addressed within this document or
the topics/areas dropped from consideration:
1) May add a section for end-to-middle in a services model
2) Is there a need to create a new events package for a subscription
to a UA to get it's location either at periodic time intervals or
when the UA has determined it has moved?
13. Security Considerations
Conveyance of geo-location of a UAC is problematic for many reasons.
This document calls for that conveyance to normally be accomplished
through secure message body means (like S/MIME or TLS). In cases
where a session set-up is routed based on the location of the UAC
initiating the session or SIP MESSAGE, securing the location with an
end-to-end mechanism such as S/MIME is problematic.
14. IANA Considerations
This section defines two new 4XX error response codes within the
sip-parameters section of IANA. [NOTE: RFC XXXX denotes this
document.
Polk & Rosen [Page 44]
Internet Draft SIP Location Conveyance October 25th, 2004
14.1 IANA Registration for Response Code 4XX
RFC number: XXXX
Response code: 424
Default reason phrase: Bad Location Information
14.2 IANA Registration for Response Code 4XX
RFC number: XXXX
Response code: 425
Default reason phrase: Retry Location Body
