Scope

24
25

This Standard provides a solution for the handling of Wireless Enhanced Emergency Calls for the FCC E911
Phase II mandate.
Carrier position reporting to emergency services systems, as mandated by the Federal Communication
Commission (FCC) under docket 94-102 (including orders 96-264, 99-96 and 99-245) has been addressed by
this Interim Standard without considering position reporting privacy restrictions that may be desirable for
other position reporting services. For this reason, this Standard does not preclude these other service restrictions. Position reporting privacy restrictions are beyond the scope of this Standard, and are not addressed here.

Introduction

18

This chapter describes emergency services from the perspective of a user. Normally the MS subscriber is the
user, but for the most part the emergency services are provided transparently to the subscriber. Most of the
services are network services that deliver information about an emergency call or caller. The user of these
services is normally some device, although the ultimate user is the PSAP call taker. This description focuses
on the network services apart from the devices and the humans that use them.

19

Wireless as used in this Standard refers to cellular, Personal Communication Services, satellite and other
commercial mobile radio services. Wireless does not apply to cordless telephones or to private radio
systems.

1.1

Emergency Location Information Delivery (ELID)

31

Emergency Location Information Delivery (ELID) delivers the position (e.g., latitude and longitude) of an
emergency services caller to the Emergency Services Provider. The position is delivered in addition to the
identification of the callers base station, cell site, or sector.

32
33
34
35

ELID may optionally deliver position after an emergency services provider request during an emergency
services call (ESC).

The following are common assumptions that are applicable both for ANSI-41 and GSM/UMTS systems:
a. Phase II position information can be delivered to the Emergency Services Provider by two
methods:
i. Initial position may be reported during call setup signaling using Call Associated
Signaling (CAS) if:
1. ISUP signaling is being used, and
2. Position information is available in time.
ii. Initial or updated position may be obtained during an Emergency Services Call
(ESC) using non-call associated signaling (NCAS):
1. by the Emergency Services Provider pulling the information as it is
required.

60

2-1

1 Introduction

ANSI/J-STD-036-B

b. The maximum period of time that an ESC can be delayed while position information is
being obtained is a local configuration option.

1
2
3

c. This Standard will support providing updated mobile position upon request from an
emergency services network.
d. An ESNE is closely associated with an ESME. If an ESNE requires additional information
it can get that information from its associated ESME. The interface between an ESNE and
ESME is outside the scope of this Standard, but is necessary for the ESNE to act upon information in the ESME.

4
5
6
7
8
9
10

e. The mapping of ESNE and ESME onto the physical elements of a network is outside the
scope of this Standard.

11
12

f. ESRD or ESRK shall be used to route a call to an ESNE.

13

g. The method defined in this document for conveying position information to the Emergency
Services Provider is intended to support all positioning technologies.

15

h. ESCs and data are correlated using either a callback number or a ESRK.
i. MSID translation to TMSI may have to be in the VLR/MSC.
j. NCAS Pull of updated or last known position after call release is not a requirement.
k. For NCAS Pull, the ESME routes the position request to the correct MPC/GMLC based on
the ESRK or ESRD provided by the wireless network during the emergency call setup.
l. NCAS Pull may be supported to enable an emergency services provider to request the
initial, the updated or the last known position of an MS that has originated an emergency
services call.
m. Pull of position between an MPC or GMLC and the ESME is supported.

2.2

ANSI-41 Assumptions

31
32

The following items are basic understandings used during the development of these recommendations:
a. Both push and pull are supported between Position Determining Entity (PDE) and Mobile
Position Center (MPC).
b. Interconnections to the PDE other than the MPC or MSC are beyond the scope of this
Standard.
c. MDN to MSID translation may have to be in the HLR. It may be done in the MSC for
currently registered MSs. It may be done in the MPC for currently cached records.
d. The MPC caches information associated with an emergency services call (ESC). The information can be associated using the ESRK, Callback number or BillingID as a key.

33
34
35
36
37
38
39
40
41
42
43
44

e. PDEs may determine the position of an ESC caller autonomously and forward that information with associated mobile information to the MPC.
f. The ESRK is a unique identifier for ongoing emergency services calls and has the
following requirements:

45
46
47
48
49

i. Each ESRK is unique within each MPC.


ii. Each ESRK identifies an MPC at a minimum resolution within a wireless network
(although it may identify a cell site, base station, or cell or portion thereof).
iii. Each ESRK may identify a PSAP, an Emergency Services Zone (ESZ), or both.
g. Selection of an Emergency Services Zone based on Phase II geographic position information is optional. Therefore, Emergency Services Call Routing using CRDB is optional.
If used, the CRDB database may reside in the wireless network or in the emergency
services network.

h. The MSC is responsible for providing current mobile information (i.e., MobInfo), not
initial.

1
2
3

i. The ANSI-41 Sections of this Standard only show solutions involving a centralized or
network based PDE. However, as an alternative the PDE may be co-located with the
Serving BS. In this case the MPC communicates with the LPDE based on the call flows
outlined in informative Annex B.

4
5
6
7
8

j. The MPC can determine the context of the GPOSREQ and will determine whether to use
the interim position or wait for the final position from the PDE.

9
10

k. Through provisioning, the MPC can determine whether the PDE supports interim position
or not.

11
12
13

l. A PDE that supports interim position must be able to interact with an MPC that has not been
upgraded to support interim position.

GSM/UMTS Assumptions
a. The GMLC interface to an ESME may be provided from a different GSM/UMTS network
than the one in which a particular emergency call has originated. This depends on the
existence of a suitable agreement between the PSAP and the operators of the two GSM/
UMTS networks. The availability of such an arrangement provides additional interconnection flexibility to both GSM/UMTS network operators and emergency services
providers.

b. The details of positioning methods used in GSM/UMTS networks are outside the scope of
this Standard.
c. The detailed content and encoding of signaling messages used inside a GSM/UMTS
network to obtain the position of an MS and convey this to an emergency services provider
are defined in the specific 3GPP standards referenced in this Standard. The detailed content
and encoding of the signaling messages exchanged between a GSM/UMTS network and
an emergency services provider (or its surrogate) to convey location and related information are defined in this Standard.
d. For NCAS only solutions (i.e., CAS push is not used or attempted), a GSM/UMTS network
shall support conveying an ESRK to an ESNE in order to support CAMA trunk signaling
to the S/R and/or to the PSAP. Any ESRK so provided has the following properties:

The ESRK is unique to the specific GSM/UMTS network.


The ESRK may be assigned by either the visited MSC from which the Emergency Services Call originated or by the GMLC connected to the visited MSC
from which the Emergency Services Call originated.
The ESRK uniquely identifies the emergency services call and its associated
MS within the GSM/UMTS network for at least the duration of the call.
The ESRK shall identify the GMLC used by the network for communicating
with the ESME.
The ESRK may identify an Emergency Services Zone (ESZ).

e. In a GSM/UMTS network, the callback number sent to the ESNE is normally the MSISDN
of the ESC calling MS. However, a GSM/UMTS network may substitute a non-dialable
callback number (as described in normative Annex C) for an MSISDN if the MSISDN is
not available (e.g., unregistered MS) or cannot be passed to the ESNE in the call setup (e.g.,
MSISDN not in WZ1). The non-dialable callback number shall identify the calling ME and
is derived from the IMEI.
f. In order to support the option of latitude/longitude based routing to both the correct ESNE
and the correct ESME serving an ESC calling MSs initial geographic location, a unique
ESRD for each ESZ within a cell site may be assigned at the Serving MSC. A serving MSC

60

2-3

1 Introduction

ANSI/J-STD-036-B

will thus possess a set of unique ESRDs identifying all ESZs to which an ESC in its serving
geographical area could be directed. Latitude/longitude based routing can then be
supported by assigning the ESRD belonging to the serving MSC that identifies the serving
cell and the ESZ associated with the initial position of an ESC calling MS. Note: this
assumption implies that there may be more than one ESRD per cell.

g. For NCAS scenarios, the VMSC may push the initial MS position data to the GMLC when
it becomes known. The GMLC shall store the initial position along with other call related
information. The VMSC shall then notify the GMLC when the emergency services call has
ended.
h. For NCAS scenarios, the VMSC may instead push the interim MS position data to the
GMLC when it becomes known. The GMLC will return an ESRK or ESRD to the VMSC
for the purposes of routing the ES call. At some point later the initial position will be
returned to the GMLC from the VMSC and made available for pull by the ESME. The
VMSC shall notify the GMLC when the emergency services call has ended.

i. For CAS scenarios, where subsequent requests for MS position are not allowed, the procedures in assumptions g and h are optional.
j. When NCAS Pull is supported during an emergency services call, a GMLC identifies the
VMSC for the emergency services call by the MSC address previously stored for that call
in the GMLC. For NCAS Pull, the ESME will route to the correct GMLC based on the
ESRK or ESRD and Callback Number provided by the GSM/UMTS network.
k. For NCAS scenarios, the authentication of the GMLC or ESME need not be supported.
l. The maximum period of time that a GMLC waits for initial position information after
reception of an NCAS Pull request is a local configuration option (INITREQT).
m. An MSC may be connected to more than one ESNE and the mechanism used to provide the
emergency callers initial position (i.e., CAS Push, NCAS Pull or both) may be the same
or different for each ESNE. For each emergency call, the MSC needs to determine which
ESNE is to be contacted and which mechanism is to be used to provide the emergency
callers initial position.
n. An ESRD for each cell may be provisioned at the VMSC when routing of Emergency Calls
by a GMLC, including routing based on geographical coordinates, is supported.

Introduction
This chapter describes emergency services from a network perspective. A network reference model is
developed to define a set of network entities and interfaces between them. A set of messages is defined to
transfer information and requests between the network entities.
For this document, position means a point on earth that can be described by coordinates, such as latitude and
longitude. Location in this document is an area. Location may be the area served by a VLR, the area served
by an MSC, a paging or location area, the area covered by a given cell site or sector, the area served by a
particular emergency services agency, or the area associated with a particular street address. This definition
may be at odds with other forum, but it is consistent with the usage of terms used in wireless mobility
management protocols such as ANSI-41 and GSM.
Phase I emergency services requires the passing of the location of base station, cell site or sector serving an
emergency services caller. This information was passed as Emergency Services Routing Digits (ESRD)
during call setup as the called number, as an ISUP Generic Digits Parameter, or both.
Position may be used in emergency services networks for two basic purposes: to route the Emergency
Services Call (ESC) for proper handling and to aid in resolving the emergency situation. How emergency
services use the position information is beyond the scope of this Standard, however some basic understanding
is useful.
ESC routing can select a Selective Router (S/R) or a particular PSAP. In general, a geographic area is divided
into Emergency Services Zones (ESZs). Each zone has assigned to it a primary PSAP, a secondary PSAP,
and a set of emergency response agencies (e.g., fire, police, ambulance). The ESZs are non-overlapping and
every point in the emergency services area is within one ESZ.
In resolving an emergency, the position information may be used by the emergency services network in a
variety of ways. For example, it may be used to plot a point on a map, to provide the nearest known street
address, or as input to navigation equipment in the emergency response vehicle (e.g., helicopter ambulance).

The position information may be delivered to the emergency services network in two basic ways: with the
call as part of the call setup information or through a separate data service. The former is known as Call
Associated Signaling (CAS) since the position information is delivered in the call signaling. The latter is Non
Call Associated Signaling (NCAS) and the messages delivered by the data service must be correlated with
the call by parameters carried in the message.
With CAS, the wireless network pushes the position information to an Emergency Services Network Entity
(ESNE). With NCAS, an Emergency Services Message Entity (ESME) pulls the position information from
the wireless network.
Call setup may be delayed while position information is being determined if it will be sent in a CAS push
or used for routing. The maximum period of time that a call will be held up is provisionable on a per system
basis.

Stage 2 describes the emergency call support services from the network perspective. Basically this involves
moving information from one system to another. Information is generated, stored, or processed on one
system, but the data is used by another system to perform some function.

A network reference model is developed to describe the functional partitioning of a system. The functions are
divided among several functional entities. This division is based on traditional functional separations plus
some separation to allow the services to be built and deployed in a variety of configurations. Communication
paths or reference points between the network entities are also defined to indicate where information can be
exchanged. These network reference points allow specific interfaces to be discussed and defined.

Once the network reference model is developed, the next step is to define the information that must be passed
from one network entity to another. Information that can be passed at the same time is collected together to
form messages. This Standard has messaging that occurs between wireless network entities; between wireless
network entities and emergency services network entities; and between MSs and wireless network entities.

Network Entities
This section describes the functionality of the network entities of the network reference model. Message
routing and transmission facilities are considered to be outside of the network reference model, even though
they provide essential services.

The CRDB provides a translation between a given position expressed as a latitude and longitude and a string
of digits identifying an Emergency Services Zone (ESZ).

4.2

Emergency Services Message Entity (ESME)

16

The ESME routes and processes the out-of-band messages related to emergency calls. This may be incorporated into selective routers (also known as Routing, Bridging and Transfer switches) and Automatic Location
Information (ALI) database engines. The structure of the Emergency Services Network is beyond the scope
of this Standard, although some insight may be gained from informative Annex A.

The ESNE routes and processes the voice band portion of the emergency call. This is composed of selective
routers (also known as Routing, Bridging and Transfer switches). The structure of the Emergency Services
Network is beyond the scope of this Standard, although some insight may be gained from

Mobile Position Center (MPC)


The MPC selects a PDE to determine the position of a MS. The MPC may restrict access to position information (e.g., require that the MS be engaged in an emergency services call or only release position information to authorized nodes).

4.5

40

Mobile Switching Center (MSC)


The MSC provides radio contact with MSs making emergency calls. The MSC may hand off the radio control
to another MSC, but the emergency call remains anchored with the MSC establishing the first radio contact.

41
42
43
44
45

4.6

Position Determining Entity (PDE)

46

The PDE determines the position of a wireless terminal when the MS starts a call or while the MS is engaged
in a call. Each PDE supports one or more position determining technologies. Multiple PDEs using the same
technology may serve the coverage area of an MPC and multiple PDEs each using a different technology may
serve the same coverage area of an MPC.

For PDEs using network based location technology, the SMDPP operations are not necessary. These PDEs
are not required to support SMS capabilities or the E12 (MSC-PDE) interface.

20

For PDEs supporting handset based or handset assisted position determination, SMDPP operations are used
to communicate between the PDE and MS. This communication may occur after the MPC originated
GPOSREQ and prior to the PDE gposreq. This applies to each scenario that includes an MPC originated
GPOSREQ to the PDE. See Section 2 PDE to MS Scenarios for Handset-Based PDE on page 4-28.

g.

The Serving MSC sends an ISPOSREQ to the MPC associated with the Serving MSC, the
Serving MPC. The MobInfo information is set appropriately for the served MS.

h.

In this scenario, there is no current position information available for the MS (e.g., GPOSDIR
was not received). The Serving MPC sends a GPOSREQ to the PDE selected for position
determination and includes the MS information received from the Serving MSC.

i.

In this scenario, the PDE determines the current MS position and returns the position
information to the Serving MPC in the gposreq. The POSRSULT parameter is set to
indicate Updated position returned.

The Serving MSC sends and isposreqfwd toward the Anchor MSC and relays the
POSINFO and POSRSULT parameters received from the Serving MPC.

l.

The Anchor MSC sends an isposreq to the Anchor MPC and relays the POSINFO and
POSRSULT parameters received from the Anchor MPC.

m.

The Anchor MPC stores the received position information and sends an orreq to the Anchor
MSC. The DGTSDIAL parameter is set to digits to route the call to the PSAP. In determining
the parameter values for the orreq, the MPC uses information received in the isposreq.

n.

The Anchor MSC sets the call up toward the ESNE. The IAM includes the GDP and position
information received from the Anchor MPC. This may result in routing to a PSAP not
associated to the geographical area of the cell/sector in which the call originated.

This scenario begins after the successful establishment of an Emergency Services Call.
a. The ESME requests the updated position for an MS identified by its ESRK or callback
number in an ESPOSREQ toward the MPC determined from the incoming trunk group, the
known ESRD, or other means.
b. The MPC, not knowing the location of the MS, requests updated position from the MSC
with an ISPOSREQ.
c. The MSC, determining that that it cannot honor the request (e.g., the MS has handed off to
a system that does not support positioning), returns a failure indication with an isposreq.
d. The MPC returns the position failure indication with an esposreq.

PDE to MS Scenarios for Handset-Based PDE


Scenarios highlighting the PDE to MS communication for PDEs supporting handset based position assistance
are within this section. One of these scenarios applies to each ELID scenario in Emergency Location Information Delivery (ELID) Scenarios where a GPOSREQ is sent from the MPC to the PDE. Databursts (i.e.,
SMDPP) that are sent directly PDE MSC are over the E12 interface. Bearer data sent via PDE MPC
MSC uses the E5 and E3 interfaces.

Note that step d. may occur as soon as the MS is placed on a traffic channel.
e. Upon receipt of the Data Burst message for MS originated position determination, the MSC
encapsulates the application layer content (IS-801) in an SMDPP and sends the SMDPP to
the Serving MPC.

f. The MPC relays the received SMDPP to an appropriate PDE. Note: PDE selection by the
MPC may be determined by Session Tags contained in the SMS_BearerData. The
mechanism used by the MPC for routing SMDPP messages is beyond the scope of this
Standard.
g. The PDE examines the contents of the IS-801 message encapsulated in the SMDPP, and
encapsulates the appropriate IS-801 response to the MS in an smdpp. The PDE sends the
smdpp to the MPC; the smdpp in this scenario contains bearer data intended for transmission to the MS. This scenario shows a single variant of IS-801 message exchange. The
2-way exchange of IS-801 information between the PDE and MS may occur in various
iterations of SMS transport INVOKEs and responses.
h. The MPC relays the smdpp to the MSC.
i.-j. Same as section 3.1.1, steps c-d.

MS Originated Position Determination for Emergency Services


Call (POST Timer Expiry)
This scenario illustrates MS originated position determination for an emergency services call. When
the Serving System indicates that this is supported, the MS initiates an IS-801 data burst to obtain
position related information from the PDE when the MS is assigned to a traffic channel. In this
scenario the MPC times out awaiting the arrival of the GPOSDIR (POST timer expiry) and sends an
orreq without the geoposition of the MS. The PDE is later able to compute the geoposition of the
MS and pushes the information to the MPC to be later retrieved by the ESME.

Network Entities

4.1

Base Station System (BSS)

3
4
5
6

The Base Station Subsystem (BSS) receives the emergency call from the MS when the call is made using
GSM and notifies the VMSC. The BSS is also involved in the handling of certain positioning procedures. As
a generic handling procedure, the BSS provides Cell-id and Timing Advance (TA) to the anchor MSC to
assist in obtaining a position estimate. Specific BSS functionality in positioning procedures is specified in
TS 43.059.

4.2

Emergency Services Message Entity (ESME)

15

The ESME routes and processes the out-of-band messages related to emergency calls. This may be incorporated into selective routers (also known as Routing, Bridging and Transfer switches) and Automatic Location
Information (ALI) database engines. The structure of the Emergency Services Network is beyond the scope
of the Interim Standard, although some insight may be gained from informative Annex A.

16
17
18
19
20
21
22

4.3

23

Emergency Services Network Entity (ESNE)


The ESNE routes and processes the voice band portion of the emergency call. This is composed of selective
routers (also known as Routing, Bridging and Transfer switches). The structure of the Emergency Servieces
Network is beyond the scope of thie Interim Standard, although some insight may be gained from
informative Annex A.

24
25
26
27
28
29
30

4.4

Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC)


The Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) contains functionality required to support delivery of a
mobiles position to the ESME and may provide call routing information to the MSC. The GMLC handles
requests for a mobiles initial, updated (current), or last known position from the ESME. In one PLMN, there
may be more than one GMLC.

31
32
33
34
35

The GMLC sends positioning requests to and receives final position estimates from the visited MSC via the
Lg interface. The GMLC stores the initial position estimate to support NCAS Pull.

36
37
38
39
40

4.5

Location Measurement Unit (LMU)


A Location Measurement Unit (LMU) makes radio measurements to support the determination of a mobiles
position. All position and assistance measurements obtained by an LMU are supplied to a particular SMLC
associated with the LMU. Signaling to an LMU may be performed over the GSM/UMTS air interface (Um
interface).

51

4.7

Mobile services Switching Center (MSC)

52
53
54
55
56
57
58
59

For emergency call origination, a GSM/UMTS MS interacts with a local serving MSC and, in some cases,
with a separate visited (anchor) MSC. Only a single MSC is involved (visited and serving MSC) for an
emergency call that is not in MSC-MSC handover state. Two separate MSCs are involved, serving MSC and
visited (or anchor) MSC, for an emergency call in MSC-MSC handover state.
The Visited (Anchor) Mobile Switching Center (VMSC) sets up the emergency call to the emergency service
network and initiates requests to the SMLC for a mobiles position.

60

5-2

ANSI/J-STD-036-B

If NCAS is supported, the VMSC (based on cell/sector identity) pushes the mobiles initial position to the
GMLC when it becomes known. The VMSC, if NCAS is supported, may obtain ESC routing information
from the GMLC.
The serving MSC, when this is distinct, relays all emergency call signaling messages between the BSS and
visited MSC using the GSM/UMTS E interface.

4.8

Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC)


The Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC) manages may manage the overall coordination and scheduling
of resources required to determine a mobiles position. For some position methods, it also calculates the final
position estimate and accuracy. In one PLMN, there may be more than one SMLC. For GSM, the SMLC is
considered to be external to the core network and BSS. For UMTS, the SMLC is considered to be part of the
RNS. Specific SMLC functionality for GSM is defined in TS 43.059. Specific SMLC functionality for UMTS
is defined in TS 25.305.

Radio Network Subsystem (RNC)

18

The Radio Network Subsystem (RNS) receives the emergency call from the MS, when the call is made using
UMTS, and notifies the VMSC. The RNS also handles the positioning of the MS using an SMLC contained
in the RNS. Specific RNS support of positioning is defined in TS 25.305. Specific interaction within the RNS
applicable to a standalone SMLC is defined in TS 25.453.

The following scenarios show several methods for delivering the position of a mobile that originates an
emergency call to the emergency service network. These methods include the following:
Call Associated Signalling (CAS) Push
Non-Call Associated Signalling (NCAS) Pull
Scenarios are also shown to cover handovers and position determination failures. Emergency call routing by
the VMSC to the PSAP using a mobiles initial position is also supported in some of the scenarios.
In all scenarios, the visited MSC is shown to obtain a position estimate via a direct request to an SMLC. This
is valid for an ESC in GSM with an SMLC accessible over the Ls (MSC to SMLC) interface. For an ESC in
GSM with an SMLC accessible over the Lb (BSS to SMLC) interface, the position request from the visited
MSC is sent instead (via the serving MSC in the case of MSC to MSC handover) to the BSC serving the MS
being positioned. The BSC then determines the SMLC and forwards to it the position request; the position
response from the SMLC is likewise returned to the visited MSC via the BSC (and via the serving MSC in
the case of MSC to MSC handover).
The scenarios shown in this chapter apply only to an ESC in GSM. For an ESC in UMTS, the BSS in each
scenario would be replaced by an RNS and the SMLC (shown as a separate entity in the scenarios) would be
internal to the RNS. ESC invocation from the MS to the RNS and from the RNS to the serving MSC would
use different signaling and procedures as defined in TS 25.331 and TS 25.413, respectively. ESC invocation
messages from the MS to the serving and visited MSCs (e.g., DTAP CM Service Request and EMERGENCY
SETUP) are the same as those shown in the scenarios here for GSM. For an ESC in UMTS, the position
request from the visited MSC is sent to the RNS serving the MS being positioned (and via the serving MSC
in the case of MSC to MSC handover). The RNS then performs the positioning, making use of an SMLC
internal to the RNS, and returns the position response to the visited MSC (and via the serving MSC in the case
of MSC to MSC handover). Details of the transfer of the positioning request and positioning response can be
found in TS 23.271 and TS 25.413. Details of the positioning procedure within the RNS can be found in TS
25.305 and TS 25.453. Other aspects of the scenarios shown in this chapter for GSM involving signaling and
procedures for the serving MSC, visited MSC, GMLC, ESNE and ESME apply without change to UMTS.
Note that these scenarios show only the parameters that are relevant to a particular scenario and do not show
all of the parameters that are needed for the transaction. Refer to Stage 3 documentation for specific
parameter requirements.

Emergency Location Information Delivery (ELID) Scenarios

CAS and NCAS solutions are not mutually exclusive (i.e., both solutions may be supported).

4

1.1

ELID Using CAS Push

The ELID CAS push scenarios provide the initial position of the emergency caller at call setup. Provision of
the emergency callers initial position once the emergency services call is setup is not supported with a CAS
push mechanism. Provision of the emergency callers updated position during the emergency services call is
not supported with a CAS push mechanism.
For the ELID CAS push scenarios, routing based on the initial lat/long information may be performed by the
VMSC.
In The CAS push scenarios described here may be followed by an NCAS Pull as described in section 2.
In each of the CAS push scenarios shown here, the emergency calling MS sends an EMERGENCY SETUP
message (as defined in TS 24.008) after the CM Service Request. This message is not shown here and does
not affect the positioning procedure for the MS, which may start before or after the message is received by
the visited MSC.

15

h. At some later time (e.g., after delivery of the initial position to the ESME via NCAS Pull),
the ESME requests the updated position of the MS, identified by its callback number
(dialable or non-dialable) or ESRK, in a Position Request Invoke sent to the GMLC. The
ESME determines which GMLC to contact based on the ESRK or ESRD provided during
call setup (translation from ESRK or ESRD to GMLC address).

19

i. The GMLC identifies the VMSC from the call information stored in step g. The GMLC
sends a MAP Provide Subscriber Location message to the VMSC. This message contains
the IMSI or MSISDN (dialable or non-dialable callback number), the LCS QoS information (e.g., accuracy, response time), an indication that an updated emergency call
position is required and an indication of a location request from an emergency services
provider.
j. The visited MSC identifies the emergency call and its associated MS using the IMSI or
MSISDN. The MSC verifies that MS privacy for the updated MS position is overridden by
the emergency services provider. If a location attempt is already ongoing for the same MS,
the VMSC waits for the position result in step l and omits the remainder of this step and
step k. Otherwise, the MSC sends a request to perform location to the SMLC associated

a. The MS invokes an Emergency Services call for details, refer to the scenarios for CAS.
The MS may identify itself using a TMSI, IMSI or IMEI.
b. The MSC extends the call to the ESNE associated with the MSs current cell location
without further delay. The call setup should include at a minimum either a callback number
(dialable or non-dialable) plus the ESRD or an ESRK.
c. The MSC sends a request to perform location to the SMLC associated with the MSs
current cell location. This request includes the MSs location capabilities and currently
assigned radio channel type (SDCCH, TCH-FR or TCH-HR), the requested QoS and the
current cell ID and possibly other measurement information.
d. Messages for individual positioning methods are transferred as described in TS 03.71,
TS 25.305 and TS 43.059.
e. The ESME requests the updated position of the emergency caller. The request contains
either the callback number and ESRD or the ESRK. The ESME determines which GMLC
to contact based on the ESRK or ESRD provided during call setup (translation from ESRK
or ESRD to GMLC address). If a valid ESRD or ESRK is not provided, the GMLC returns
the error 'Unrecognized Key' to the ESME Otherwise, since the GMLC has no record for
the emergency call, the GMLC starts an INITREQT timer for the pending initial position
request.

a. An initially idle MS invokes an Emergency Services call at the visited MSC for details,
refer to the scenarios for CAS. The MS may identify itself using a TMSI, IMSI or IMEI.
b. The MSC extends the call to the ESNE associated with the MSs current cell location. The
call setup should include at a minimum either a callback number (dialable or non-dialable)
plus an ESRD, that identifies the VMSC and GMLC, or an ESRK.
c. The VMSC initiates procedures to obtain the initial position of the MS and sends the initial
position to the GMLC for storage and possible delivery to the ESME via NCAS Pull.
d. The emergency call is handed over to a new serving MSC (for details, refer to TS 24.008,
TS 48.008 and TS 29.002).
e. The ESME requests the updated position of the MS, identified by the callback number
(dialable or non-dialable) or ESRK, in an Emergency Services Position Request Invoke
sent to the GMLC. The ESME determines which GMLC to contact based on the ESRK or

Routing by GMLC of Emergency Calls, including


Routing based on Geographical Coordinates
When it is desirable to route calls to the PSAP based upon the geographical coordinates of the MS,
the VMSC (based on cell/sector identity) may be configured to allow the GMLC to assign routing
information to the VMSC for the ESC, to enable routing on interim position. For GSM/UMTS
networks, the procedure is described in the TS 23.271 under the sub clause titled:
NI-LR using Location Based Routing applicable to North American Emergency Calls
only.
In addition, the option for Emergency Call routing by the GMLC without geographic coordinates is
described.

a. The MS invokes an Emergency Services call for details, refer to the scenarios for CAS.
The MS may identify itself using a TMSI, IMSI or IMEI.
b. The MSC sends a request to perform location to the SMLC associated with the MSs
current cell location. The QoS is set to indicate a request for a Low Delay position. This
request may include the MSs location capabilities and currently assigned radio channel
type (SDCCH, TCH-FR or TCH-HR), the current cell ID and possibly other measurement
information. The ECDT timer is used to limit the delay to call setup, and is started when
the SMLC request is sent.
c. Messages for individual positioning methods are transferred as described in TS 03.71,
TS 25.305 and TS 43.059.
d. The SMLC returns the position estimate to the MSC.

e. The MSC sends a MAP Subscriber Location Report to the GMLC identified for the call.
The message includes the na-ESRK-Request parameter to indicate that the MSC will
accept an ESRK or ESRD from the GMLC. The message also includes the MSISDN (or
non-dialable callback number), IMSI, MSC address, ESRD (if available), cellIdOrSai
(optional, but required if ESRD is not available), and the position estimate. The GMLC
stores the initial position information and other relevant information about the E911 call in
order to support a subsequent NCAS Pull request from the ESME. If the GMLC is capable
of determining that the position estimate satisfies the accuracy requirements for an
emergency call, then the GMLC may not need to request a higher accuracy position.

f. Using the Position Estimate received at step e., the GMLC assigns an ESRK or ESRD for
the call to route to an appropriate ESNE, and returns it to the MSC in the MAP Subscriber
Location Report response. The MSC stops the ECDT timer.
g. The MSC extends the call to the ESNE associated with the ESRK or ESRD received from
the GMLC at step f. without further delay. The call setup should include this (GMLC
allocated) ESRK or ESRD.

11
12
13

h. The GMLC sends a MAP Provide Subscriber Location message to the same MSC that sent
the MAP Subscriber Location Report. This message contains the IMSI or MSISDN
(dialable or non-dialable callback number), the LCS QoS information set to indicate a
request for a Delay Tolerant Position, an indication that an updated emergency call position
is required and an indication of a location request from an emergency services provider.

18
19
20
21
22

i. The visited MSC identifies the emergency call and its associated MS using the IMSI or
MSISDN. The MSC verifies that MS privacy for the updated MS position is overridden by
the emergency services provider. If a location attempt is already ongoing for the same MS,
the VMSC waits for the position result and omits the remainder of this step and step k.
Otherwise, the MSC sends a request to perform location to the SMLC associated with the
MSs current cell location. This request includes the MSs location capabilities and
currently assigned radio channel type (SDCCH, TCH-FR or TCH-HR), the QoS received
from the GMLC and the current Cell ID.

23

j. The SMLC initiates a suitable position method. The messages for the specific positioning
method are internal to the GSM/UMTS network and are described in TS 03.71, TS 25.305
and TS 43.059.

32

k. At some point after call setup at step g., the ESME requests the initial position of the
emergency caller. The request contains the ESRK if the GMLC returned an ESRK in step f,
otherwise it contains the callback number. The ESME determines which GMLC to contact
based on the ESRK or ESRD provided during call setup.
l. At some point (possibly before the ESME requests initial position, or after, as shown here),
the SMLC returns the Delay Tolerant position estimate to the MSC.
m. The MSC returns the Delay Tolerant position to the GMLC in a MAP Provide Subscriber
Location response.
n. The GMLC then uses the position received in the MAP Provide Subscriber Location
response to provide the initial position estimate to the ESME.

method are internal to the GSM/UMTS network and are described in TS 03.71, TS 25.305
and TS 43.059.

k. At some point after call setup at step g., the ESME requests the initial position of the
emergency caller. The request contains the ESRK if the GMLC returned an ESRK in step f,
otherwise it contains the callback number. The ESME determines which GMLC to contact
based on the ESRK or ESRD provided during call setup.
l. At some point (possibly before the ESME requests initial position, or after, as shown here),
the SMLC returns the Delay Tolerant position estimate to the MSC.
m. The MSC returns the Delay Tolerant position to the GMLC in a MAP Provide Subscriber
Location response.
n. The GMLC then uses the position received in the MAP Provide Subscriber Location
response to provide the initial position estimate to the ESME.

GMLC Routing on Cell without Interim Positioning


a. The MS invokes an Emergency Services call for details, refer to the scenarios for CAS.
The MS may identify itself using a TMSI, IMSI or IMEI.
b. The MSC is configured to send a MAP Subscriber Location Report to the GMLC identified
for the call without an Interim Position attempt. The message includes the na-ESRKRequest parameter to indicate that the MSC will accept an ESRK from the GMLC. The
message also includes the MSISDN (or non-dialable callback number), IMSI, MSC
address, ESRD, and cellIdOrSai (optional, but required if ESRD is not available). The
GMLC stores the relevant information about the E911 call in order to support a subsequent
NCAS Pull request from the ESME.
c. Using the cell based data received at step e (e.g., cellIdOrSai, or ESRD), the GMLC assigns
an ESRK for the call to route to an appropriate ESNE, and returns it to the MSC in the MAP
Subscriber Location Report response.
d. The MSC extends the call to the ESNE associated with the ESRK received from the GMLC
at step c without further delay. The call setup should include this (GMLC allocated) ESRK.
e. The GMLC sends a MAP Provide Subscriber Location message to the same MSC that sent
the MAP Subscriber Location Report. This message contains the IMSI or MSISDN
(dialable or non-dialable callback number), the LCS QoS information set to indicate a
request for a Delay Tolerant Position, an indication that an updated emergency call position
is required and an indication of a location request from an emergency services provider.

f. The visited MSC identifies the emergency call and its associated MS using the IMSI or
MSISDN. The MSC verifies that MS privacy for the updated MS position is overridden by
the emergency services provider. If a location attempt is already ongoing for the same MS,
the VMSC waits for the position result and omits the remainder of this step and step k.
Otherwise, the MSC sends a request to perform location to the SMLC associated with the
MSs current cell location. This request includes the MSs location capabilities and
currently assigned radio channel type (SDCCH, TCH-FR or TCH-HR), the QoS received
from the GMLC and the current Cell ID.

MSC times out waiting for SMLC response prior to call setup

The following scenario applies when the MSC uses a single ECDT timer to limit the duration of both the
interim position request and the request for an ESRK or ESRD from the GMLC. If the MSC uses a separate
smaller timer than the ECDT timer to limit the duration of the interim position request, then if this timer
expires before an interim position estimate is obtained, the MSC may still request an ESRK or ESRD from
the GMLC using the ESRD or cell ID or SAI similar to that described in section 3.6.

This section species the Abstract Syntax for the Emergency Services Protocol using the Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1), dened in ITU-T Recommendations X.680 (1994) and X.680 Amendment 1 (1995)
and the OPERATION and ERROR external MACROs, dened in ANSI T1.114-1996.
The encoding rules applicable to the defined Abstract Syntax are the ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules defined
in ITU-T Recommendation X.690 (1994). Implicit tagging is used for all context specific parameters.
The Emergency Services Protocol (ESP) supports the following interfaces via the EmergencyServicesPositionRequest:

Component Portion
The Emergency Services Protocol employs the Invoke (Last), Return Result (Last), Return Error and Reject
TCAP Component Types defined in ANSI T1.114-1996 with the following exceptions and limitations:
a. The Operation Code Identifier is coded as Private TCAP.
b. The Operation Code is partitioned into an Operation Family followed by a Specifier
associated with each Operation Family member. For the Emergency Services Protocol, the
Operation Family is coded as decimal 1. Bit H of the Operation Family is always coded
as 0.
c. A TCAP INVOKE component shall contain a Component ID Length greater than zero.
d. A TCAP RETURN RESULT component shall only be transmitted in response to an
INVOKE Component.
e. A TCAP RETURN ERROR component shall only be sent in response to an INVOKE
component, not a RETURN RESULT component.
f. The Error Code Identifier is coded as Private TCAP.
g. If a problem is detected by TCAP (i.e., the received message does not conform to ANSI
T1.114.3), a TCAP REJECT component with one of the following Problem Specifiers shall
be sent:
i. Problem Type General: all defined Problem Specifiers are applicable.
ii. Problem Type Transaction Portion: all defined Problem Specifiers are applicable.

26
27
28

h. If a problem is detected by the Emergency Services TC-user (i.e., the received message
does not conform to the Emergency Services Protocol), a TCAP REJECT component with
one of the following TCAP Problem Specifiers shall be sent:
i. Problem Type INVOKE: Duplicate Invoke ID, Unrecognized Operation Code or
Incorrect Parameter.

32
33

CallTerminationReport

The CallTerminationReport (CTRPT) operation is used by an MSC to report to an MPC that a call
has been released and all resources (e.g., ESRK) assigned to the call may be released. The MPC
upon receiving this message from the MSC may use it to inform the PDE that a call has been
released.

SMSDeliveryPointToPoint

The SMSDeliveryPointToPoint (SMDPP) operation is a general purpose operation that is used to


convey a short message or in general any other information or encapsulated data from one point to
another point and report on the success or failure of that transfer (for example, as used in SMS,
CDMA OTASP, or Position Determination).

CDMAServingOneWayDelay2

The CDMAServingOneWayDelay2 (CDMASOWD2) parameter specifies the estimated one-way


delay from the MS to a serving base station. The estimated delay can be converted to the estimated
distance. The estimate can be used to minimize the search and acquisition times for the MS or for
other positioning applications. The estimated one way delay between the MS and the associated base
station is specified in units of 100 ns unless otherwise specified by the Resolution field. The valid
values for CDMA Serving One Way Delay field are 0 through 65535.

The NetworkTMSI (NETMSI) consists of the TMSI_CODE and the TMSI_ZONE fields.
TMSI_CODE defines a 32-bit MS temporary identification in one TMSI Zone. The TMSI_ZONE
is associated with a group of cell sites (e.g., cell sites associated with a single MSC) such that all
TMSI_CODEs assigned to MSs within the TMSI_ZONE are unique. TMSI_CODEs may be re-used
in different TMSI zones.

Introduction

17
18

This section specifies the Abstract Syntax for the Location Services Protocol using the Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1), defined in ITU-T Recommendations X.680 (1994) and X.680 Amendment 1 (1995)
and the OPERATION and ERROR external MACROs, defined in ANSI T1.114-1996.

19
20
21

The encoding rules applicable to the defined Abstract Syntax are the ASN.1 Basic Encoding Rules defined
in ITU-T Recommendation X.690 (1994). Implicit tagging is used for all context specific parameters.

22

The Location Services Protocol (LSP) consists of operations used on the MPC-PDE interface (E5) and on the
MPC-CRDB interface (E11) and is applicable to AMPS, NAMPS, TDMA and CDMA air interface locations.
LSP is based on TCAP, but the physical, transport and network layers are specifically undefined. As an alternative, some message and parameters have been defined for transport over ANSI-41 MAP.

25

The following operations are defined for the MPC-PDE interface:

30

23
24

26
27
28
29

CallTerminationReport (CTRPT)
This operation may be used to by the MPC to inform the PDE that an emergency services call has
been disconnected.

31

GeoPositionDirective (GPOSDIR)
This operation is used to push an MS position from the PDE to the MPC.

35

32
33
34

36
37

GeoPositionRequest (GPOSREQ)
This operation is used to request the PDE for the initial, updated or last known position of an MS.

38
39

SMSDeliveryPointToPoint (SMDPP)
This operation is for conveying encapsulated data from one point to another point and reports the
success or failure of that transfer.

40

InterSystemPositionRequest (ISPOSREQ)
This operation is used to request the PSMM results from the PDE to the MS.

44

41
42
43

45
46

The following operation is defined for the MPC-CRDB interface:

47

PositionRouteRequest (POSROUTREQ)
This operation is used to request a translation from a position expressed as latitude and longitude to
a string of digits.

48

Parameter contents imported from other specifications (e.g., T1.114 and ANSI-41) are imported without
length and identifier octets.

The Operation Code Identifier is coded as Private TCAP.


The Operation Code is partitioned into an Operation Family followed by a Specifier
associated with each Operation Family member. For the Location Services Protocol,
the Operation Family is coded as decimal 2. Bit H of the Operation Family is always
coded as 0.
A TCAP INVOKE component shall contain a Component ID Length greater than zero.
A TCAP RETURN RESULT component shall only be transmitted in response to an
INVOKE Component.
A TCAP RETURN ERROR component shall only be sent in response to an INVOKE
component, not a RETURN RESULT component.
The Error Code Identifier is coded as Private TCAP.
If a problem is detected by TCAP (i.e., the received message does not conform to
ANSI T1.114.3), a TCAP REJECT component with one of the following Problem
Specifiers shall be sent:
a. Problem Type General: all defined Problem Specifiers are applicable.
b. Problem Type Transaction Portion: all defined Problem Specifiers are applicable.
If a problem is detected by the Location Services TC-user (i.e., the received message
does not conform to the Location Services Protocol), a TCAP REJECT component
with one of the following TCAP Problem Specifiers shall be sent: : Duplicate Invoke
ID, Unrecognized Operation Code or Incorrect Parameter.
The Parameter SET Identifier is coded per ANSI T1.114 (national, constructor with
Identifier code 18).
The Parameter SEQUENCE Identifier is coded per ANSI T1.114 (universal, constructor with Identifier code 16).
Generalized Time is included by reference to Chapter 7. The definition from X.680
that is referenced from Chapter 7 should be used, and not the definition from ANSI-41.

Interconnection through an Access Tandem or the PSTN is not recommended, but it is still possible for
systems covering large geographic areas like satellites and maybe some PCS providers.
The ALI and Selective Routing Database may be physically collocated, but are shown as separate functions
because the queries to them are quite different. The selective routing database converts a telephone number
into an emergency services number representing an emergency services zone. Each zone is served by a
primary and alternate PSAP and by a predetermined set of emergency response agencies, one for each type
of emergency response required (e.g., fire, police, medical, poison control).

This network topology has served the wireline industry well for the last thirty years, but it is inadequate to
meet the demands of the calltakers as expressed in two joint experts meetings in 1994. Crucial to these
requirements was the ability to move location information between the serving system and the PSAP. This
could be performed with either call associated signaling or with non-call associated signaling. With call
associated signaling information is passed with the same messages used to setup and control a call. In noncall associated signaling, the messages containing information are passed separate from the call and the
association between the message and the call must be established upon receipt. On short inspection, call
associated signal appears to be easier to use since correlation of information and a call is so much easier. The
down side is that 1) call associated signaling requires upgrades of all switches that handle the call between
the serving system and the PSAP, and 2) PSAP to PSAP transfers will have to work out something else to
avoid routing the call to the same primary PSAP.

A World Without Selective Routers

In a radical simplification of the emergency services network, the serving system can take over the routing
functions of the selective router and selective routing database and route the call directly to a PSAP over the
PSTN. The PSAP obtains information about the emergency calls from the serving system. If calls are to be
re-routed to another PSAP or an emergency services agency, the call transfer feature provided by the switch
serving the PSAP is used (although in some switches the feature may need to be modified to allow the PSAP
to bridge the call before completing the transfer).
In such a network topology, the problems of call associated signaling are accentuated, because nearly every
switch and STP in the country would have to be able to handle the special signaling for emergency services
calls.

In defining the network reference models for the wireless network, it was noted that there need to be at least
four functional entities. The MSC (Mobile Switching Center) is the basic switching entity in a wireless
network and it provides a single point of interconnection for the wireless system side of emergency services
calls.

The MPC (Mobile Position Center) provides a single point of interconnection for users of positioning information. It is envisioned that there will be many applications that can use position information, although the
current standard is limiting its scope to just one such application for emergency services. Even within
emergency services, there are two uses for position and these may use separate applications. The first use is
routing the call to the appropriate PSAP. The second application is to aid the call taker and dispatcher in
locating the caller geographically and sending assistance to the caller. This may be as simple as returning the
nearest known street address to a given latitude and longitude or it may be plotting the callers position on a
map with other information like building names, business names, landmarks, etc.
The MPC also interconnects a set of PDE (Position Determining Entities) that cover a geographic area. It may
require more than one PDE of a given technology to cover an area. A given area may elect to use PDEs of
more than one technology (e.g., use a general network based solution for all phones while offering an
enhanced mobile-based or mobile-assisted premium service to some subscribers). The MPC will have to
query the HLR, VLR, and MSC to select the proper PDE and to provide the PDE with information regarding
the particular mobile station in question.
The traditional ALI had two basic types of information: location information that provided a street address
for a telephone number and subscriber information that provided a name and other information about a
subscriber. In a wireless system, location information is within the domain of the serving system and
subscriber information is in the domain of the home system. Since these are conceptually separate systems,
the information is viewed as coming from separate functions with the MPC providing the raw position information that can be converted into location and the WSI (Wireless Subscriber Information) providing

58
59

ANSI/J-STD-036-B

subscriber information. Further since the WSI is outside of the scope of the FCC Report and Order, its implementation is entirely optional at the discretion of the wireless service provider and the PSAP community that
it serves.

Possible Configurations of ESNEs


In the development of the network reference model it was clear that in an emergency services network, the
entity that processed calls was not necessarily the same thing that processed the non-call associated messages,
although there has to be communication between the two. For instance the entity processing the calls, an
ESNE or emergency services network entity, may be a selective router, a direct interconnection, an access
tandem, or an interworking device. The selective router will probably be the most common initial interconnection point on an emergency services network. Calls to PSAPs may be routed to over a PSTN when the
wireless carrier is able to select the proper PSAP before the call leaves its switches. This connection directly
to a PSAP is more likely to be a logical relationship than a physical relationship as it is unlikely that a wireless
service provider will have direct physical interconnection to a PSAP. A more common physical interconnection to PSAPs will be through an intervening access tandem or local end office. Interworking devices may
be used to convert enhanced MF signaling or MF to CAMA signaling commonly used by the installed base
of selective router and PSAP equipment.

Possible Configurations of ESMEs


The emergency services user of messaging, an ESME or Emergency Services Message Entity, is less clear.
It could be simply a feed into a traditional ALI, although that is fraught with problems. There is a liability
issue for the accuracy of any information in the database if several different entities are allowed to insert data,
even if only on a temporary basis. Since wireless calls would only need data in the database for a duration of
an emergency call, there would have to be a mechanism to clean out the database of these temporary records.
The records would use the range of all area codes to support roaming wireless subscriber, and that would
require better access methods than some ALIs currently support.

The ESME could be a separate ALI when ALI steering is used between the PSAP and the ALI. The steering
could recognize mobile directory numbers and route those queries to obtain the requested information. This
separate ALI could preform the management of the temporary records, accommodate data pushes from the
wireless carrier and formulate pull requests to the wireless carrier.

The ESME could be an interworking device so that each emergency services call could be associated with a
special pseudo ANI. This pseudo ANI can then be used with existing equipment to query either selective
routing databases or ALIs for the call routing, location, or subscriber information.

The ESME could be a message routing function that routes messages using the same alghoritms used to route
the emergency services calls to ensure that the messages are routed to the same place as the emergency
services calls. The message routing function could simply broadcast messages to all interconnected PSAPs
which would retain all messages and be able to associate incoming calls with the received messages.

The PSAP could query other databases to convert the position information into the nearest known street
address or the current emergency services zone for the list of selective transfer numbers. The ESME may be
a geographic information system within the PSAP that requests position information about an emergency
services call so that the position of a caller can be plotted on a map in relation to streets, businesses, buildings,
landmarks, etc.

The ESME could be an SCP application that is queried by the MSC to obtain instructions on how to route an
emergency services call. The application would have or be able to get the position information associated with
a call and be able to convert that position into a location such an emergency services zone and its associated
routing and selective transfer information.

To show this example in a more physical realm (but still ignoring the required intervening networks and
switching equipment), the following figure shows 1) a centralized coordinate routing database run by the
9-1-1 authority, 2) several service providers, 3) several PSAPs, 4) location applications used by a single
service provider, and 5) location applications used by multiple several providers.

In reality the ESME is likely to be a combination of one or more of the above configurations or something
else that hasnt been thought of yet. The point is, it doesnt matter. All that really matters is that there be a
mechanism defined for moving information between two points.

Local PDE Network Topology


Figure B-1 shows a logical grouping of separate functional entities that define a composite NE
(i.e., PDE). The Local PDE is physically connected (or integrated) with the BS. Its primary function
is to calculate precise geographic position of the MS. Position calculation will be done while the
MS is on the traffic channel. The LPDE uses special algorithms to calculate the mobile position
based on signal measurements in the infrastructure, the MS, or both.

MPC Request for CDMA Pilot Strength Measurements


This scenario shows a position request and delivery of position information using the PSMM
method. This could occur during an ELID CAS push during call setup, or an NCAS pull when the
MS is on the traffic channel. For this reason the scenario begins with a position request
(i.e., ISPOSREQ) which would follow an ORREQ (for CAS push) or an ESPOSREQ (for NCAS
pull).

a. The MPC examines the MPCAP parameter (previously received in the ORREQ or
isposreq) and determines that the MS supports PSMM (e.g., MPCAP = 0 Unknown) and
that the PDE is co-located at the BS (i.e., LPDE). The MPC sends an InterSystemPositionRequest INVOKE with the CDMAPSMMCount parameter set to 0 indicating that the
PDE located at the BS will determine the count of PSMMs to collect from the MS.
b. The MSC sends a Radio Measurement Position Request message relaying the PSMMCount
to the BS/LPDE.
c. The BS/LPDE determines the number of PSMMs required to calculate the MSs position
and sends the initial Pilot Strength Measurement Request Order to the MS.

37

d. The MS responds with a Pilot Strength Measurement message including pilots from the

e. The BS sends a Radio Measurement Position Response message to the MSC with the
Geographic Location information element containing the MSs position. For the failure
case, the Cause information element is sent instead of the Geographic Location information
element.
f. The MSC relays the contents of the Radio Measurement Position Response message to the
MPC in the InterSystemPositionRequest RETURN RESULT. The Geographic Position is
contained in the PositionInformation parameter for the successful case the Cause information is contained in the PositionResult parameter for the failure case.

Non-dialable Callback Numbers


(Normative)

This annex is normative and is considered part of this Standard.

There are several situations when a mobile station does not have a valid callback number. Examples
of these situations include, but are not limited to non-initialized mobiles, mobile phones whose
subscription has expired, mobile phones that fail authentication, mobile phones without a subscriber
identity module inserted, mobile phones from certain other countries, mobile phones from a service
provider that does not have a roaming agreement with the current serving service provider, mobile
phones donated to charitable organizations with the sole purpose of 9-1-1 access and other mobile
stations referred to as 9-1-1 Only devices. If the MS does not have a valid callback number, a nondialable callback number derived from the ESN, pseudo-ESN (derived from the MEID) or IMEI
shall be used to identify the emergency services caller.

Non-dialable Callback number format

The digits 911 followed by the 7 least significant digits of the decimal representation
of the ESN. These 7 digits are determined byconverting the 24 least significant bits
of the ESN (treated as an unsigned binary integer) to decimal. The result of this
conversion is padded on the left with zeroes, if necessary, to obtain 7 decimal digits.
In the case of mobile stations with an MEID, the pseudo-ESN (derived from the
MEID) should be used in place of ESN, as described above.
In the case of mobile stations which transmitted a UIMID (from an inserted
R-UIM), the UIMID should be used as described above, instead of the pseudo-ESN,
if both are received.

These will be inserted into the MobileDirectoryNumber field or the MSISDN field by the MSC as
appropriate. The MPC or GMLC will then populate the non-dialable callback number into the
callbacknumber field sent in the esposreq to the ESME.
The non-dialable callback number described in the table above for mobiles with an IMEI should be
used when the MS identifies itself with IMEI in the connection management service request, or
when the MS identifies itself with TMSI or IMSI in the connection management service request, but
the network fails to verify the subscribers subscription or roaming agreement.

The protocol stack used for the E2 interface is shown in figure G-2. The TCAP ASN.1 encoded
message structure is directly encapsulated within TCP/IP packets without additional layers of
encoding. IP provides the capability to route the message, which replaces the need for the
Signalling Connection Control Part (SCCP) portion of the standard SS7 message. The intervening network elements (e.g., routers and firewalls) need only use IP to correctly route the
session set up message and subsequent packets.

Network Architecture
Figure G-3 represents the data network architecture between the wireless network and the wireline
network to allow the caller's location to be returned to the PSAP. Each PSAP has links to both of the
mated, geographically distributed ESMEs. For the interconnection between the MPC and ESME,
three different configurations are anticipated. The first is where the ESME connects to a MPC that
is a Simplex Node (Links A, C). In this case a high availability MPC will be deployed in the wireless
network. Both ESMEs will steer queries to this MPC. The second is a Redundant Node configuration. In this configuration each ESME will have a companion MPC with which it communicates
(Links A, D). Each ESME will steer queries to its companion MPC. The third configuration is where
the ESME complex and the MPC complex are fully connected. Therefore, each ESME has a logical
TCP/IP connection to both MPCs. The network connection between the Emergency Service
Provider and the Wireless Carrier is not expected to be a public network (e.g., the network may be
a private packet-based network or dedicated point-to-point environment).

Session Establishment

1

In this configuration, the TCP/IP address and port are agreed upon between the owners of the ESME
and the MPC. By convention, the ESME is the TCP/IP server and the MPC is the TCP/IP client. The
sessions are established via sockets where the MPC establishes the connection to the ESME. Upon
system start up, the ESME will listen to the designated port and the MPC will initiate session set up
to the designated TCP/IP address and port. Once the socket session is established, the application
may begin the query and response handshake.

G.1.3

Emergency Service Protocol (ESP) Messages

11
12

The ESP query has two formats, identified here as Format A and Format B. For Format A, the
Emergency Service Routing Key (ESRK) is passed in the query. For a Format B message the
Callback Number (CBN) and, optionally, the Emergency Service Routing Digits (ESRD) are passed.
Parameters of ESME Identification and Position Request Type are sent for both formats of
messages. For the ESP response, the salient parameters are the CBN, Latitude, and Longitude. Once
the ESME receives these, it will format them with a local ALI record associated with the ESRK/
ESRD and return the information to the PSAP.

13

In addition to query and response, there will be heartbeat messages between the ESME and the MPC
to verify the integrity of the links. These will be initiated by the ESME and responded to by the MPC.
The ESME will query with the PositionRequestType=4 (Test) and the EmergencyServiceRoutingKey=0. The MPC should respond with the PositionResult=10 (Test). These messages only will
be sent during periods of inactivity of 60 seconds (a configurable parameter) on a link to verify the
integrity of the application and socket connection.

Annex H:

Use of ESRD in E911 Call Setup as 3-Way


Call Following Inter-MSC Handoff

This annex is informative and is not considered part of this Standard.


It shows various methods for using an ESRD solution for an E911 call setup as a 3-Way call
following inter-MSC handoff. The fundamental problem is that the ESRD supplied by the Serving
MSC in a ANSI-41 FlashRequest INVOKE identifies the cellsite/sector correctly, but will lead the
PSAP to query an MPC associated with the Serving MSC, instead of the Anchor MSC.

Inter-MSC Routing Based on Position Using Substitute ESRD for


NCAS ESNE
This scenario shows an Emergency Services Call (ESC) originated as the second leg of a 3-way call after
intersystem handoff. The MPC uses the mobiles current position to determine the appropriate ESNE. In this
example, the selected ESNE requires NCAS as shown in normative Annex D.1.2 . Sometimes Routing Based
on Position (e.g., latitude and longitude) leads to an ESNE that is not the same as that which a callers serving
cellsite/sectors ESRD (ESRD(SS)) would indicate to a selective router. When this happens and the ESNE
requires NCAS, the MPC may optionally select an ESRD that is appropriate for this ESNE (ESRD (AS)), so
that the selective router will select it, rather than the ESNE related to the ESRD(SS) that is related to the
callers serving cellsite/sector. Another problem that may arise is that the ESRD(SS) may route queries to the
Serving Systems MPC, rather than the MPC associated with the Anchor System.
Later, when an ESME requests initial position on an E2 data link, the MPC may optionally include the
ESRD(SS) as well as the position information in the esposreq return result, similar to the information flow
for wireline compatibility mode in the example shown for Routing Based on Position as in Chapter 4,
Section 1.3.2.

The ORREQ includes the ESRD(SS) from the FLASHREQ, the MSID in the MIN or IMSI

to the anchor MSC, the ORREQ does not include MOB_INFO.
e. The Anchor MPC examines the ESRD(SS) received in the ORREQ and conditionally
determines that it is known to be associated with an ESZ that is marked as Routing Based
on Position . Since the ORREQ s MPCAP parameter does not indicate TDMA-SAMPS
(see Inter-MSC Three-Way Call to PSAP using SAMPS in this Annex) and since the
anchor MPC lacks the mobile s current radio information, the Anchor MPC sends an

16

h. Since there is no cached position information at the serving system MPC (i.e., GPOSDIR

information, the Serving MPC forwards the request for position to the appropriate PDE
with a GPOSREQ that includes the MSs radio information. Optionally, a handset-based
solution may have PDE to MS communication. See See Section 2 PDE to MS Scenarios
for Handset-Based PDE on page 4-28.

i. In this scenario, the PDE has not previously acquired the initial position of the MS. The
PDE determines the current position and returns the position information in a gposreq with
the PositionResult parameter set to Updated Position Returned.
j. The Serving MPC returns the position for the MS with an isposreq. Since the Serving MPC
did not receive an ORREQ or GPOSDIR, the returned Position Result is set to Updated
Position Returned. The Serving MPC does not cache the position information since only
the Anchor MPC will be able to reliably locate the mobile for subsequent location update
requests, regardless of where the mobile travels during the 3-way E911 call.
k. The Serving MSC returns the position information with an isposreqfwd and includes
MSCID(Serving).
l. The Anchor MSC returns the position information with an isposreq that includes the
optional parameter MSCID(Serving), which is cached by the Anchor MPC as initial
position.
m. Optionally, the MPC may use the MSs current position to request a routing translation for
an emergency services zone (ESZ) from the CRDB with a POSROUTREQ, i.e., Routing
Based on Position.
n. The CRDB returns the digits representing an emergency services zone (ESZ) to the MPC
with a posroutreq.

o. The Anchor MPC selects an ESNE based on the ESZ from the CRDB or from the latitude
and longitude of the mobile based on local procedures. In this example, the Anchor MSC
is able to route to the selected PSAP that requires NCAS call setup and further, this ESNE
is not associated with the ESRD(SS) that was passed to the MPC via the FLASHREQ sent
to the MSC. This means the MPC must assign a routable address, e.g., ESRD(AS). The
MPC returns ESRD(AS), which a selective router may use to select the MPC-intended
PSAP, to the Anchor MSC in the orreq GenericDigits parameter. The selected ESME may
use the ESRD(AS) received from call setup to route its subsequent ESPOSREQ back to the
Anchor MPC that holds all the information about the ESC: the original ESRD(SS) that
represents the MSs serving cellsite/sector information and the MSs initial position information.

Inter-MSC Routing Based on Cellsite/Sector for NCAS when


Serving and Anchor MPC are the same.
This scenario shows an Emergency Services Call (ESC) originated as the second leg of a 3-way call after
intersystem handoff. The MPC uses ESRD(SS) to select the appropriate ESNE. In this example, the selected
ESNE requires NCAS for call setup using ESRD(SS) and the ESRD is also associated with the MPC that
serves the Anchor MSC.

Figure H-4:

Inter-MSC Routing Based on Cellsite/Sector for NCAS when Serving and Anchor
MPC are the same.
a. A call that has been handed-off from the Anchor MSC to the Serving MSC is in progress.
The MS invokes an Emergency Services Call.
b. The Serving MSC notifies the Anchor MSC of the event with a FLASHREQ. The digits
dialed and ESRD(SS) are included.The ESRD(SS) is associated with an MPC that is
associated with both the Serving and Anchor MSC s.

c. The Anchor MSC acknowledges the event with a flashreq.

d. The MSC analyses the digits dialed by the MS and sends an ORREQ to the Anchor MPC.
The ORREQ includes the ESRD(SS) from the FLASHREQ, the MSID in the MIN or IMSI
parameter and the MDN parameter. Since the MSs current radio information is unknown
to the anchor MSC, the ORREQ does not include MOB_INFO.
e. The Anchor MPC examines the ESRD received in the ORREQ and conditionally determines that ESRD(SS) is known to be associated with an ESZ that is marked as Routing
Based on Serving Cellsite/Sector . To unconditionally determine the correct ESZ, the
Anchor MPC sends an ISPOSREQ to the Anchor MSC in order to obtain the
MSCID(serving) since ESRDs are known to not be unique within North America, yet
ESRDs are known to be unique within an MSC.

Using Substitute ESRD for NCAS ESNE on page -6.

l. The Anchor MSC returns the position information with an isposreq that includes the
optional parameter MSCID(Serving), which is cached by the Anchor MPC as initial
position.
m. The Anchor MPC selects an ESNE based on the callers serving cellsite/sector represented
by the ESRD(SS) passed in the FLASHREQ. In this example, the selected ESNE requires
NCAS call setup and further, the Anchor MSC is able to route to the selected PSAP. This
means the MPC must use a routable address, e.g., the ESRD(SS), and returns this information to the Anchor MSC in an orreq GenericDigits parameter. The selective router may
use ESRD(SS) to select the MPC-intended PSAP. Later the ESME will use this same
ESRD(SS) to route any of the ESMEs subsequent ESPOSREQ messages back to the MPC
that holds the MSs initial position information and to request location updates when initial
position has been either pushed or pulled. Since the Anchor MPC is the same MPC as the
Serving MPC, ESRD(SS) can be used for call setup. The MPC may include other optional
parameters in the orreq: see normative Annex D.1.2 and D.1.3 for specific recommendations.
