GEOPRIV Secretary
Emergency Services Workshop 5
21-23 October 2008
Agenda
 GEOPRIV scope and context
 Current and upcoming GEOPRIV documents
 Integration points with other SDOs
GEOPRIV Overview
Scope of the GEOPRIV Working Group
 GEOPRIV is the IETF working group for
location and location privacy
 Develop Internet protocols for location
functions:
Location
Server
Location
Dereference
Protocol
Location
Recipient
Location
Formats
 Configuring endpoints with location
 Transmitting location between points
 Requesting location information

 Location aspects of other protocols (e.g.,
SIP)
 These protocols are often the building
blocks for work by other SDOs

IETF scope is Internet Protocols
Internet
 Focus on interoperable
protocols for use over the
Internet protocol (IP)
 Generally, the only
assumption used is that the
devices use IP
 No particular physical access or
control plane
 No particular network
configuration
 General mechanisms that
can be specified to individual
deployment cases
Protocols
 Focus on protocols (bits on
the wire) between Internet /
IP hosts
 Not what is said, or who (what
host) says it
 How things are said
 Specify things only to the
extent required for
interoperability
 What: The semantics available
in the protocol
 Who: Functional roles within
the protocol
IETF Process Flow
 Author submits an Internet Draft on a topic of
interest to an IETF Working Group
 Working Group decides whether to take on the
draft as a work item
 Once draft is adopted, it goes through rounds
of comments and edits until it reaches
consensus (passes “Working Group Last Call”)
 Cognizant Area Director forward the draft to
the IESG (if approved) for final review
RFC Publication

 IESG and Security Directorate reviews

 Binary Format for Geodetic Location in DHCP
 Location Information Server Discovery
 DHCP Option for Location by Reference
Many items queued up behind HELD
HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD)
 HELD is a generic, application-layer protocol for requesting location
 This document defines HELD as a Location Configuration Protocol (LCP), i.e.,
a way for end hosts to request location from the network
 XML request/response carried over HTTP
 Server bases positioning on IP address of incoming query
 This is the base version of HELD, expected to be extended
 Status: Awaiting revision to address IETF last call comments

Other protocols
Location Objects in RADIUS / Diameter
 A mechanism for embedding location information (in a binary format) into
the RADIUS and Diameter AAA protocols
 Provisioning of location information
 Registration of endpoint-generated location
 Many other SDOs are expected to make incorporate this mechanism in
their AAA and location management functions
 3GPP IMS
 WiMAX
 TISPAN
 Status: Waiting for new version to address IETF last call comments
draft-ietf-geopriv-radius-lo-19
PIDF-LO Profile
 A set of clarifications and simplifications to the PIDF-LO format
 The 9 rules of PIDF-LO usability, e.g.
 Each GEOPRIV element MUST represent a discrete location
 Different <geopriv> elements in the same PIDF MUST refer to the same location, or
else be contained within different element types
 When multiple PIDF-LO documents are received together, selection SHOULD be based
on document order, the first being preferred
 Restricts the set of shapes that can be used in a geodetic location to those
specified in an OGC document profiling GML for IETF use
 This document updates the PIDF-LO standard to constrain how
implementations construct and use PIDF-LO documents
 At the level of XML syntax, the format remains unchanged
 Status: Submitted to IESG, awaiting action
draft-ietf-geopriv-pdif-lo-profile-11
Geolocation Policy
 IETF long ago defined presence policy languages
 Geolocation policy defines location-based policy
 Grant access to location when target is within a given region
 Grant access to location to a certain granularity
 Passed WGLC several revisions ago, but was stalled by questions from the
IESG, e.g., related to how uncertain location is used with these policies
 May be relevant to OMA LOCSIP use cases (e.g., location-based instant
messaging)
 Status: Chair working to determine if current draft resolves IESG issues
draft-ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery-07
Other WG items (still in progress)
 Layer-7 LCP Problem Statement / Requirements
 Requirements for an application layer LCP (i.e., HELD)
 Mature; to be submitted for publication once HELD is finished
 Location by Reference Requirements
 Requirements for location by reference, and dereference protocols in particular
(e.g., usage of SIP, HTTP, HELD for location retrieval)
 Should be more mature before LbyR standards are published (e.g., the proposed
usage of HELD as a dereference protocol)
 Binary Format for Geodetic Location in DHCP
 Document began as a way to convert DHCP binary geo format to decimal, but
many in WG are calling for it to update how the binary format represents
uncertainty
 Significant digits vs. explicit error bars
 Chair to produce a proposal on how to proceed
Other WG items (cont’d)
 Location Information Server Discovery
 How an endpoint discovers a HELD server in the network
 Critical to HELD deployment, probably non-controversial
 DHCP Option for Location by Reference
 How to embed a location URI in DHCP
 Privacy concerns given lack of DHCP confidentiality
Upcoming Items
 To be added as milestones in next charter update
 Update to GEOPRIV privacy architecture
 Expressing Austrian civic addresses in the RFC 5139 XML format
 Several HELD extensions that may be adopted
 Usage of HELD for location-by-reference
 Additional identifiers for HELD clients
 Measurements for various positioning techniques
 RTD, BSID, RSSI, GPS pseudo-ranges, etc.
 Usage of HELD to obtain GPS assistance data
Interactions with other SDOs
Inter-SDO Interactions
 GEOPRIV is beginning to have more interactions with other SDOs that are
developing location systems over IP
 At this point, mostly informal, through joint participants
 WiMAX Forum is building a location solution using HELD
 Requirement for “base” HELD, plus several extensions
 WiMAX needs will inform order of HELD extensions
 OMA LOCSIP has a lot of overlap with prior IETF work on location in SIP
 Working with LOCSIP to determine how well existing IETF products fit OMA
 Adapting IETF filter/trigger work to meet LOCSIP requirements
 Beginning to discuss how to align HELD and SUPL…
 Are there other SDOs that we should be working with?
Summary
 GEOPRIV defines location-relevant protocols for the Internet
 Generic to the Internet, but adaptable to many types of access network
 Focused on protocols, need other people to define how protocols are used
 Most work right now is gated on publication of HELD
 Next to do: Finish up some long-outstanding items, re-charter
 Several HELD extensions in the queue
 Beginning to coordinate with other SDOs, especially WiMAX and OMA
