Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


Abstract

   Parameters that define the expected quality of location information
   are defined for use in location protocols.  These parameter can be
   used by a requester to indicate to a Location Server the desired
   constraints on the quality of the location information provided.  If
   applicable, the Location Server is able to use this information to
   control how location information is determined.  An optional
   indication of whether the quality constraints were met is defined to
   be provided by the Location Server alongside location information.

Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


1.  Introduction

   Location determination methods produce results of varying accuracy.
   In general, the accuracy of location information increases as the
   effort expended in generating the information increases.  Accuracy is
   the primary aspect of the quality of location information that is
   relevant to a Location Recipient (LR).  Other aspects of quality can
   also be significant, such as the currency of the data.

   Means for expressing the quality of location information is outlined
   in [I-D.thomson-geopriv-uncertainty] and [GeoShape].  An entity
   requesting location information of a Location Server (LS) is unable
   to specify the quality of the location that it ultimately receives.
   This is inefficient because an LS either provides location
   information that is inadequate for the intended task; or the LS could
   waste resources generating location information that is of
   eccessively high quality.

   This document defines XML objects that can be added to any protocol
   that provides location information.  These elements provide the
   ability to communicate location quality constraints to an LS.  These
   constraints specify a desired uncertainty at a certain confidence,
   plus the maximum acceptable age where location information is stored.
   Guidelines for deterministically evaluating location information
   against these rules are provided.

   This document provides semantics, examples and security
   considerations for the HELD protocol
   [I-D.ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery].  Application of the
   parameters described in this document to other protocols is out of
   scope.

   Location quality constraints provide information that an LS can use
   in deciding how to generate location information, if the LS has that
   capacity directly or otherwise.  This is the case for a Location
   Information Server (LIS) and the HELD protocol.

   Specifying location quality constraints ensures that a Location
   Receipient (LR) receives information that is suited to their needs.
   It also provides information that any Location Generator (LG) can use
   to better decide how location information is generated.  This
   provides advantages to both requester and source of the information.
   In one example, a LIS that is able to provide a location estimate
   with uncertainty that matches the requested constraints might be able
   to provide that response before the time indicated within the time
   indicated in the request (the "responseTime").

   This document also defines an object that can be used by the LS to

Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


   indicate if the location quality meets the constraints.  These
   parameters can be used by a Location Recipient to ensure that the
   location is of adequate quality without requiring specific checking
   without having to examine the location object.  Response parameters
   are an optional optimisation; the presence of a quality indication in
   the response also indicates that the LS has understood the location
   quality constraints.

1.1.  Conventions used in this document

   Terms and procedures relating to uncertainty and confidence are taken
   from [I-D.thomson-geopriv-uncertainty].  Familiarity with terminology
   outlined in [I-D.ietf-geopriv-l7-lcp-ps] and [RFC3693] is also
   assumed.

   The term Location Server (LS) is used as a generic label, since these
   paramters apply in all cases where location information is served to
   a requesting entity.  From the perspective of this document, the LS
   could be a Location Information Server (LIS).  Similarly, the term
   Location Recipient (LR) is used to refer to the requester of location
   information, which could be a Device or Target for HELD.

   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 [RFC2119].

2.  Location Quality Operation

   Location quality parameters are provided by a Location Recipient in a
   location request message.  Figure 1 shows an example HELD message
   where a Device requests location information of a specified quality.

     <locationRequest xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:held">
       <locationType exact="true">geodetic</locationType>
       <quality xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:lq">
         <maxUncertainty confidence="95">
           <horizontal>150</horizontal>
           <vertical>1000</vertical>
         </maxUncertainty>
         <maxAge>2008-05-27T05:47:55Z</maxAge>
       </quality>
     </locationRequest>

                  Figure 1: Example HELD Location Request

   An LS that supports the location quality element uses the information
   contained in the request to choose how it serves the query.  If the
   LS sources the information from an LG, this information might be
   passed to the LG to determine how it generates the information.  The
   response to this message contains a quality indicator element that
   includes a list of the quality constraints that were met.  Figure 2
   shows a location response that includes a quality indicator.

     <locationResponse xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:held">
       <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf"
                 entity="pres:user@example.com">
         <!-- Actual location information omitted -->
       </presence>
       <qualityInd xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:lq">
         maxUncertainty/vertical maxAge
       </qualityInd>
     </locationResponse>

                 Figure 2: Example HELD Location Response

   An LS provides an indication of the constraints that have been met.
   The actual quality of the location estimate SHOULD be included in the
   actual PIDF-LO document, expressed in the location uncertainty,
   timestamp, or through the presence of absence of civic address
   fields.

3.  Location Quality Objects

   This section defines the format and semantics of the location quality
   parameters for requests and the indication that is included with
   responses.

3.1.  Location Quality Request

   The "quality" element is included in a HELD request to indicate the
   constraints set by the Location Recipient (LR) on the quality of
   returned location information.  This document defines three elements
   that are included.

3.1.1.  Maximum Uncertainty

   The "maxUncertainty" element describes an upper limit on uncertainty
   at a given confidence.  Uncertainty is divided in to horizontal and
   vertical components.  Horizontal uncertainty is the maximum distance
   from the centroid of the area to the point in the shape furthest from
   the centroid on the horizontal plane.  Vertical uncertainty is the
   difference in altitude from the centroid to the point in the shape
   with the greatest altitude.

   The "horizontal" and "vertical" elements are numerical values that
   contain a decimal value in metres.  Maximum uncertainty values MUST
   be greater than zero.

   A location estimate that does not contain uncertainty (i.e. a Point
   shape), never meets location quality constraints.  Where uncertainty
   is unknown, it MUST be assumed to be infinite at any non-zero
   confidence.  In particular, this applies to vertical uncertainty
   where the location estimate is two-dimensional only; location
   estimates without a vertical component of uncertainty never meet
   vertical uncertainty constraints.

   Note:  An LS MAY provide location information using the Point shape
      and indicate that the requested uncertainty is met, if the LS has
      access to uncertainty information and does not want to share this
      information.  However, this is NOT RECOMMENDED since the LR has no
      way of independently verifying that the uncertainty meets their
      requirements.

   The "confidence" attribute of this element includes the confidence
   level (expressed as a percentage) that the uncertainty is evaluated
   at.  Confidence has a default value of 95%.

   To evaluate uncertainty, the location estimate is first scaled so
   that the confidence of the estimate matches (or exceeds) the



Thomson & Winterbottom    Expires June 8, 2009                  [Page 6]

Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


   requested confidence.  The LS SHOULD convert the shape of the
   uncertainty to a circle or a sphere prior to scaling to simply the
   scaling process.  For consistency--and contrary to the rules in
   [I-D.thomson-geopriv-uncertainty]--it is RECOMMENDED that a normal
   PDF be assumed for all location information except where confidence
   is reduced for a rectangular PDF.

   Horizontal uncertainty is evalulated by removing the altitude and
   altitude uncertainty components from the location estimate.  While
   removing altitude components from a location estimate might normally
   increase confidence, confidence MUST NOT be increased at this step;
   the confidence value has already been considered.  The shape is then
   converted to a circle, if it is not already in that shape.  The
   radius of the resulting circle is compared to the maximum horizontal
   uncertainty.

   Vertical uncertainty is evaluated for shapes that contain altitude
   uncertainty.  The value used for evaluating vertical uncertainty
   depends on the shape type: the vertical axis value for the Ellipsoid
   shape; the radius of the Sphere shape; half the height of the Prism
   shape.  A constraint on vertical uncertainty cannot be met if
   vertical uncertainty is not known.

   The LS MAY use location quality parameters to alter the way that it
   generates location information and to provide location information
   that more closely matches what is requested.  If maximum value is
   provided for vertical uncertainty, it is RECOMMENDED that the LS
   provide a location estimate that includes altitude and altitude
   uncertainty if possible.  It is RECOMMENDED that the LS provide
   location information at the confidence included in the request, if
   scaling to a particular confidence is possible.  Scaling MAY be
   avoided if the location information is significantly degraded by the
   scaling process.

3.1.2.  Required Civic Elements

   The "requiredCivic" element represents the requirements of an LR for
   civic address information.  An LR can specify the address elements
   that need to be present in the civic address in order for the
   location information to meet their quality requirements.

   The "requiredCivic" element contains a whitespace-separated list of
   element names.  These can be interpreted as XPath
   [W3C.REC-xpath20-20070123] expressions that are evaluated in the
   context of the "civicAddress" element [RFC5139].  These XPath
   statements are restricted to use of qualified names only (using the
   response document namespace context) and the "/" separator; that is,
   the only permitted axis is the "child::" axis.  All child nodes of

Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


   elements (including attributes and textual content) are treated as
   belonging to an element.

   Figure 3 shows an example request where an LR requires country, state
   (or equivalent) and post code civic address elements in the location
   information provided by the LS.

     <quality xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:lq">
       <requiredCivic
           xmlns:ca="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr">
         ca:country ca:A1 ca:PC
       </requiredCivic>
     </quality>

        Figure 3: Example Specifying Required Civic Address Fields

   Note that this does not force the LS to restrict civic address
   information to the indicated fields.  Additional fields can be
   provided.

3.1.3.  Maximum Age

   Where location information is stored or cached, an LR can specify a
   limit on the age of this information.  This is particularly important
   if location information is generated in advance.  The "age" of
   location information is indicated by the the "timestamp" element in
   the PIDF tuple.  The age parameter specifies the minimum value for
   this field; that is, the oldest location information that is
   acceptable.

   Location information that has greater age than requested SHOULD
   either be determined anew, or checked so that the timestamp can be
   updated.  A value of "now" can be used to indicate that stored
   location information is not acceptable to the LR.

3.2.  Location Quality Indication

   The "qualityInd" element is used in responses to indicate which of
   the location quality constraints from a request were met.  The
   "qualityInd" element contains a list of the quality constraints that
   the accompanying location information meets.

   The list of constraints is represented as a whitespace-separated list
   of element names.  These can be interpreted as XPath
   [W3C.REC-xpath20-20070123] expressions that are evaluated in the
   context of the original location quality request.  These statements
   follow the same constraints as the list of elements in Section 3.1.2.

Internet-Draft              Location Quality               December 2008


   Where elements are nested, such as the "maxUncertainty" element, the
   outer element can be included to indicate an entire constraint is
   met; or, each individual child element can be identified.  Two
   equivalent indications are shown in Figure 4.

       <qualityInd xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:lq">
         maxUncertainty
       </qualityInd>

       <qualityInd xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:geopriv:lq">
         maxUncertainty/horizontal maxUncertainty/vertical
       </qualityInd>

                 Figure 4: Equivalent Quality Indications

   A LS that is unable to determine if a constraint MUST either omit the
   quality indication, or indicate that the constraint was not met.

   Two special values are added to the quality indication element for
   convenience.  The value "##all" indicates that all quality
   constraints were met (including any extensions).  An empty list
   indicates that none of the constraints were met.
