4 USA’s FCC Regulation: E-911 Ph 2 4 Wireless Internet 4 04/22/02
E-911 Mandate 5 04/22/02
Phase II Accuracy Standards l For Handset-Based Solutions: * 50 meters for 67 percent of Calls * 150 meters for 95 percent of calls l For Network-Based Solutions: * 100 meters for 67 percent of calls * 300 meters for 95 percent of calls 6 04/22/02
Recent FCC Actions l Request for Relief * Over the past few years, carriers have been asserting the need for relief from E-911 rules * FCC set forth standard for carriers seeking relief: >Plan that is specific, focused, and limited in scope >As close as possible to full compliance >Clear path to full compliance 7 04/22/02
Recent FCC Actions l Approval of Compliance Plans * 10/5/01: FCC approved, with conditions and modifications, revised implementation plans of five nationwide wireless carrier >Nextel, Sprint, Verizon and GSM portion of AT&T Wireless and Cingular networks >Sixth nationwide carrier Voice. Stream had their plan approved year before >Plans contain specific schedules and benchmark >Quarterly reports required to monitor compliance >Move to enforcement mode 8 04/22/02
Points of Concern Delay in reaching interim benchmarks towards full compliance. l Some uncertainty about manufacturers producing necessary equipment in timely fashion. l l ILEC issues. l Funding for PSAPs. Still a long road before end-to-end systems are operational throughout the country. l 9 04/22/02
Going forward The tragedies of September 11 give a new sense of urgency to the rollout of wireless E 911. More than ever, mobiles phone have become indispensable tools for calling for help and for delivering help. l l. The future of location technology is strong *As deployment proceeds, technology and system-wide performance will improve. *Customers increasingly will insist on having it available (like air bags and seatbelts in cars). *Commercial location-based services will add to customer value and carrier revenue But to get to the future, those involved-- including the FCC-will have to redouble efforts to see that the promise of this life saving technology is fulfilled l 10 04/22/02

Positioning Methods in GSM l Cell- ID and Timing Advance (CGI+TA) – Network based method l Network Assisted GPS (A-GPS) – Terminal based method l Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD) – Terminal based method l Uplink Time-Of-Arrival (UL-TOA) – Network based method 17 04/22/02
Cell-ID and Timing Advance l l Based on existing CGI and TA Default/Fallback Positioning Method Used to assist other positioning mechanisms Accuracy depends on cell size and MS distance from cell 18 04/22/02
E-OTD LMU 19 Time of Arrival information is collected by the MS 04/22/02
E-OTD Real Time Difference information is collected by the LMU LMU 20 Observed Time Difference(OTD) information is collected by the MS 04/22/02
E-OTD Real Time Difference information is collected by the LMU OTD and RTD information is transmitted to the network LMU PLMN LMU 21 Observed Time Difference (OTD) information is collected by the MS 04/22/02
E-OTD MAIN CHARACTERISTICS - + l Only small software modifications in the MS needed l LMUs have to be placed between every 1 -3 base stations l Utilises existing capabilities of the GSM network l Cost of network upgrade l Accuracy between 50 and 300 m 22 04/22/02

Assisted GPS variants l MS based GPS – Give full assistance data to MS – Perform Position calculation in MS – Greater MS complexity l MS assisted GPS – Provide limited assistance data – Return TDOA values – Perform Position calculation in the network – More signaling, no stand-alone position 27 04/22/02
A-GPS MAIN CHARACTERISTICS - + l Lower power consumption than GPS l Additional HW +SW in the MS l Fast Time-To-First-Fix (TFF) l A few DGPS reference receivers needed l Accuracy down to 10 m l Allows for navigation l Limited indoor coverage (GPS has no indoor coverage) l Fall back solutions in comparison to GPS 28 04/22/02

Design and Verification Procedure 35 04/22/02
Summary of Network Impacts on Positioning Accuracy • Timing delays due to multipath and distributed components • Cell size versus accuracy targets and traffic distribution • Relative base station location and MS-BTS location • BCCH and BSIC planning and adequate C/I(MS & LMU) • Neighbor definitions and positioning considerations • Mobile Station assistance Data 36 04/22/02
System Prerequisites for E-OTD • Each cell seen by at least 1 LMU • RXLev at LMU Antenna connector >= -110 d. Bm • C/I at LMU >= 10 d. B • C/A (200 k. Hz) >= -8 d. B • C/A (400 k. Hz) >= -41 d. B • Mean excess delay for LMU is assumed to be 0. 15 s • GDOP between 1 and 1. 5 • BTS coordinates known in three dimensions within 5 -10 m 37 04/22/02
Network Recommendations to Meet Positioning Accuracy Targets Actions will be investigated in order increasing cost and complexity. • BSIC Replanning • BCCH Frequency Plan Retune • Changes to Certain RN Features (HCS, Cell Load Sharing, etc. ) • Modifications to existing sites (antennas, output power, etc. ) • Site Additions in Certain Areas 38 04/22/02
