Working Group 3, “Leveraging LBS” report - Work Completed

Final report covering: Location Technologies now used only for LBS, but which may be

adaptable for Indoor E9-1-1 Emerging Location Technologies that could possibly be used for

Indoor E9-1-1 For each of these technologies, assessment of:

Accuracy and Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF) Location yield Network Impact Handset Impact Standards Implications Database creation and maintenance issues

Working Group 3, “Leveraging LBS” report - Work Completed (cont.)

The following location technologies were analyzed: WiFi-based Location Metropolitan beacon O-TDOA for LTE RF Fingerprinting Low-earth Orbit Satellite-based Positioning Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) Positioning Assisted-GNSS Hybrid Positioning using Multiple Location and Inertial Navigation

Sensors Role of the Test Bed

Only technologies that participated in the test bed had detailed parametric accuracy, yield, and TTFF claims shown in the Leveraging LBS report

Working Group 3, “Leveraging LBS” report – Summary & Next Steps

The diversity of location technologies reviewed in this report confirms that continual advances are being made in the field. Additionally, all the technologies discussed lend themselves to hybridization, i.e., the blending of measurements from multiple technologies to increase yield, and possibly accuracy. However, very few of these location technologies are currently available for E-9-1-1 use indoors. Three location technologies participated in the Indoor Test Bed. Based on the results, the workgroup believes that good progress is being made in addressing the indoor location challenge; however, significantly more work needs to be done, including characterization of additional technologies in a Phase 2 test bed.

We recommend establishment of subsequent Test Bed trials to evaluate future technologies, such as WiFi, GLONASS, U-TDOA, and O-TDOA for LTE
