The background for this PRD is the existence of a clear business that needs for the accurate location of various MIoT objects, whether those are in the home network or roaming. For example, the package delivery across borders with an embedded NB-IoT/LTE-M chip, could provide customers (almost) real-time information on where it is located, in case the location information is available to the home operator by the visited operator(s). Unfortunately, this is not the case at the moment. Therefore, it would be beneficial to have a document which illustrates the issues and provides feedback on the technical solutions available to solve this problem. This information can then be used by strategic/commercial people within GSMA to decide how the industry should tackle the issue in the real world. 1.2 Scope The scope of this document is to describe: Location requirements for MIoT, specifically without GNSS capabilities Use case for location retrieval by the network Location technologies from the device and network perspective Implementation on 4G and 5G networks 1.3 Definitions Term Description Machine-to-Machine, a general term referring to any network technology allowing M2M devices to communicate with each other. For example, two industrial robots connected to each other via Ethernet in a factory, is part of M2M but not MIoT. Mobile Internet of Things, a GSMA term which refers to the 3GPP standardised LPWA technologies using the licenced band (aka LTE-M, NB-IoT and EC-GSM-IoT, Extended Coverage GSM for Internet of Things). In 3GPP Release 13 and upwards, the Category of UEs that support power consumption optimisations, extended coverage and lower complexity are part of MIoT (CAT M1, CAT NB1 from Release 13 MIoT and CAT M2, CAT NB2 from Release 14). As this particular term is widely used throughout the GSMA, it is also utilized also in this document. Not to be confused with the term “MIoT” which means 5G Massive IoT in 3GPP terminology. GSMA PRD BA.40 [2] states that roaming is defined as the ability for wireless customers to automatically make and receive voice calls, send and receive data, or Roaming access other services when travelling outside the geographical coverage area of their own home network, by means of using a visited network V1.0 Page 4 of 37 GSM Association Confidential - Full, Rapporteur, Associate and Affiliate Members Official Document NG.120 - MIoT Location in Roaming 1.4 Abbreviations Term Description 3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership Project A-GNSS Assisted- Global Navigation Satellite System AMF Access and Mobility Management Function (5G) CGI Cell Global Identifier CN Core Network CI Cell Identity CS Circuit Switch DB Data Base ECI EUTRAN Cell Identifier E-CID Enhanced Cell ID Method ECGI E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier EPC Evolved Packet Core EPS Evolved Packet System EUTRAN Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network GMLC Gateway Mobile Location Centre GNSS Global Navigation Satellite System GPS Global Positioning System GPRS General Packet Radio Service GSM Global System for Mobile Communications GSMA GSM Association GTP GPRS Tunnelling Protocol HLR Home Location Register HPLMN Home Public Land Mobile Network HSS Home Subscriber Server HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure IDA Insert Subscriber Data Answer IDR Insert Subscriber Data Request IMSI International Mobile Subscriber Identity IP Internet Protocol IoT Internet of Things IWF Interworking Function IWK-SCEF Interworking-SCEF LBS Location Base Service LAC Location Area Code LCS Location Service LMF Location Management Function (5G) LPWA Low Power Wide Area V1.0 Page 5 of 37 GSM Association Confidential - Full, Rapporteur, Associate and Affiliate Members Official Document NG.120 - MIoT Location in Roaming Term Description LRF Location Retrieval Function LS Location Server (SMLF / LMF) LTE Long Term Evolution a.k.a.
