Study on 5G-enabled fused location service capability
The present document studies and evaluates the application architecture aspects and solutions to address potential new and enhanced location capabilities for vertical application enabler, including the following aspects:
- Enabling location performance (accuracy, availability and latency) enhancements through combined use and fusion of 3GPP and non-3GPP location technologies at the application layer;
- Identification and classification of location related requirements (including location QoS) for vertical application services;
- Architecture enhancement leveraging 5G positioning and location services;
- Enabling location sources and positioning methods selection based on the requested location QoS;
- Initialization and configuration for fused location service;
- Enabling value-added location service capabilities exposure to vertical applications;
- Enhancements on SEAL location management addressing the aspects above.
NOTE: This study will not duplicate solutions already available in Core Network and RAN.
