Abstract
A method is described by which a Device is able to provide location-
related measurement data to a LIS within a request for location
information. Location-related measurement information are
observations concerning properties related to the position of a
Device, which could be data about network attachment or about the
physical environment. When a LIS generates location information for
a Device, information from the Device can improve the accuracy of the
location estimate. A basic set of location-related measurements are
defined, including common modes of network attachment as well as
assisted Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) parameters.

Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
1. Introduction
A location configuration protocol (LCP) provides a means for a Device
to request information about its physical location from an access
network. A location information server (LIS) is the server that
provides location information; information that is available due to
the knowledge about the network and physical environment that is
available to the LIS.
As a part of the access network, the LIS is able to acquire
measurement results from network Devices within the network that are
related to Device location. The LIS also has access to information
about the network topology that can be used to turn measurement data
into location information. However, this information can be enhanced
with information acquired from the Device itself.
A Device is able to make observations about its network attachment,
or its physical environment. The location-related measurement data
might be unavailable to the LIS; alternatively, the LIS might be able
to acquire the data, but at a higher cost in time or otherwise.
Providing measurement data gives the LIS more options in determining
location, which could improve the quality of the service provided by
the LIS. Improvements in accuracy are one potential gain, but
improved response times and lower error rates are also possible.
This document describes a means for a Device to report location-
related measurement data to the LIS. Examples based on the HELD
[I-D.ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery] location configuration
protocol are provided.

Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
2. Conventions used in this document
The terms LIS and Device are used in this document in a manner
consistent with the usage in
[I-D.ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery].
This document also uses the following definitions:
Location Measurement: An observation about the physical properties
of a particular Device's network access. The result of a location
measurement--"location-related measurement data", or simply
"measurement data" given sufficient context--can be used to
determine the location of a Device. Location-related measurement
data does not identify a Device; measurement data can change with
time if the location of the Device also changes.
Location-related measurement data does not necessarily contain
location information directly, but it can be used in combination
with contextual knowledge of the network, or algorithms to derive
location information. Examples of location-related measurement
data are: radio signal strength or timing measurements, Ethernet
switch and port identifiers.
Location-related measurement data can be considered sighting
information, based on the definition in [RFC3693].
Location Estimate: The result of location determination, a location
estimate is an approximation of where the Device is located.
Location estimates are subject to uncertainty, which arise from
errors in measurement results.
GNSS: Global Navigation Satellite System. A satellite-based system
that provides positioning and time information. For example, the
US Global Positioning System (GPS) or the European Galileo system.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
3. Location-Related Measurements in LCPs
This document defines a standard container for the conveyance of
location-related measurement parameters in location configuration
protocols. This is an XML container that identifies parameters by
type and allows the Device to provide the results of any measurement
it is able to perform. A set of measurement schemas are also defined
that can be carried in the generic container.
The simplest example of measurement data conveyance is illustrated by
the example message in Figure 1. This shows a HELD location request
message with an Ethernet switch and port measurement taken using LLDP
[IEEE.8021AB].

Figure 1: HELD Location Request with Measurement Data
Location-related measurement data need not be provided exclusively by
Devices. Intermediaries involved in cooperative location
determination, such as a the second LIS in
[I-D.winterbottom-geopriv-lis2lis-req], might provide a LIS with
measurement data.
Measurement data that the LIS does not support or understand can be
ignored. The measurements defined in this document follow this rule;
extensions that could result in backward incompatibility MUST be
added as new measurement definitions rather than extensions to
existing types.
Multiple sets of measurement data, either of the same type or from
different sources can be included in the "measurements" element. See
Section 4.1.1 for details on repetition of this element.
3.1. Using Location-Releated Measurement Data
Using location-related measurement data is at the discretion of the
LIS, but the "method" parameter in the PIDF-LO SHOULD be adjusted to
reflect the method used.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
Location-related measurement data provides an attack vector for
malicious Devices. If it is in the interest of the Device to induce
the LIS to provide false information about its location, measurement
data can be indirectly used to influence the result that the LIS
provides. This is particularly important where the LIS provides
certitude on the location information, either through digital
signature or simply by serving a location reference.
To prevent the propagation of indirectly falsified location
information, the LIS SHOULD validate location-related measurements.
The amount of verification might depend on the expected use of that
data. Any measurement data that is determined to be suspect is
discarded.
In one potential solution, the LIS validates any location information
that is derived from Device-provided measurement data. The resulting
location information is compared against location information that
the LIS is able to generate independently. If the two results differ
significantly, the measurement data is regarded as suspect and the
results derived from that are discarded. The allowable degree of
difference is left to local configuration or implementation.
Even with validation, falsified measurement data might be below a
threshold where independent checks performed by the LIS do not reveal
differences. For instance, LIS might only be able to determine that
the Device is within a certain suburb independently. A falsified
measurement might be provided such that the resulting location
information is on the northern part of the suburb, when the Device is
truly in the southern part. The independent validation of the LIS
might not be able to detect this attack. However, in using
independent validation, the LIS has limited the distance over which
the malicious Device is able to move the result by falsifying
measurement data.
Whether measurement data is accepted and what validation are required
is a matter for local policy. For instance, different degrees of
trust can be assigned to location-related measurement data based on
the source of the data. Unauthenticated Devices might be subjected
to rigorous checking before being accepted, if the data is accepted
at all. Conversely, measurement data from trusted intermediaries
might not be subjected to validation at all.
If absolute certitude of the resulting location information is
required, then the LIS MUST NOT use unverified information. In this
case, Device-provided measurement data is only of benefit if
validation of measurement data is more efficient than collection.
Given that the output of location determination is probabilistic, it
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
could be that accepting a finite probability of falsified measurement
data is acceptable. A decision on how much risk is accepted is left
to local policy.
Confidence [I-D.thomson-geopriv-uncertainty] is a measure of the
probability that location information is correct. [RFC5491]
defines the confidence in PIDF-LO to be 95%. A confidence of 95%
allows for 5% of PIDF-LO documents to be incorrect. Of course, it
is understood that this 5% are statistical outliers that are still
relatively close to the correct location. However, this 5% also
allows for fallibility and other errors, such as inadvertent
mistakes arising from human error. This might be extended to
include an allowance for incorrect measurements, falsified or
otherwise.

4. Location-Related Measurement Data Types
This document defines location-related measurement data types for a
range of common network types.
4.1. Common Location-Related Measurement Fields
This section describes metadata that is common to a wide range of
measurement data. Time of measurement and expiry time apply to all
measurements; RMS error and number of samples apply to selected
measurement types.
4.1.1. Time of Measurement
The "time" attribute records the time that the measurement or
observation was made. This time can be different to the time that
the measurement information was reported. Time information can be
used to populate a timestamp on the location result, or to determine
if the measurement information is used.
The "time" attribute is optional to avoid forcing an arbitrary choice
of timestamp for relatively static types of measurement (for
instance, the DSL measurements in Section 4.7) and for legacy Devices
that don't record time information (such as the Home Location
Register/Home Subscriber Server for cellular). However, time SHOULD
be provided whenever possible.
The "time" attribute is attached to the root "measurement" element.
If it is necessary to provide multiple sets of measurement data with
different times, multiple "measurement" elements SHOULD be provided.
4.1.2. Expiry Time on Location-Related Measurement Data
A Device is able to indicate an expiry time in the location
measurement using the "expires" attribute. Nominally, this attribute
indicates how long information is expected to be valid for, but it
can also indicate a time limit on the retention and use of the
measurement data. A Device can use this attribute to prevent the LIS
from retaining measurement data or limit the time that a LIS retains
this information.
Note: Movement of a Device might result in the measurement data
being invalidated before the expiry time.
The LIS MUST NOT keep location-related measurement data beyond the
time indicated in the "expires" attribute. Where the "expires"
attribute is not provided, the LIS MUST only use the location-related
measurement data in serving the request that contained the data.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
Figure 2 shows an example of a measurement that includes an expiry
attribute.

Figure 2: Expiry Time Example
4.1.3. RMS Error and Number of Samples
Often a measurement is taken more than once over a period of time.
Reporting the average of a number of measurement results mitigates
the effects of random errors that occur in the measurement process.
Typically, a mean value is reported at the end of the measurement
interval, but additional information about the distribution of the
results can be useful in determining location uncertainty.
Two optional attributes are provided for certain measurement values:
rmsError: The root-mean-squared (RMS) error of the set of
measurement values used in calculating the result. RMS error is
expressed in the same units as the measurement, unless otherwise
stated. If an accurate value for RMS error is not known, this
value can be used to indicate an upper bound for the RMS error.
samples: The number of samples that were taken in determining the
measurement value. If omitted, this value can be assumed to be a
very large value, so that the RMS error is an indication of the
standard deviation of the sample set.
For some measurement techniques, measurement error is largely
dependent on the measurement technique employed. In these cases,
measurement error is largely a product of the measurement technique
and not the specific circumstances, so RMS error does not need to be
actively measured. A fixed value MAY be provided for RMS error where
appropriate.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
4.1.4. Time RMS Error
Measurement of time can be significant in certain circumstances. The
GNSS measurements included in this document are one such case where a
small error in time can result in a large error in location. Factors
such as clock drift and errors in time sychronization can result in
small, but significant, time errors. Including an indication of the
quality of the time can be helpful.
An optional "timeError" attribute can be added to the "measurement"
element to indicate the RMS error in time. "timeError" indicates an
upper bound on the time RMS error in seconds.
The "timeError" attribute does not apply where multiple samples of a
measurement is taken over time. If multiple samples are taken, each
SHOULD be included in a different "measurement" element.
4.2. LLDP Measurements
LLDP messages are sent between adjacent nodes in an IEEE 802 network
(e.g. wired Ethernet, WiFi, 802.16). These messages all contain
identification information for the sending node, which can be used to
determine location information. A Device that receives LLDP messages
can report this information as a location-related measurement to the
LIS, which is then able to use the measurement data in determining
the location of the Device.
The Device MUST report the values directly as they were provided by
the adjacent node. Attempting to adjust or translate the type of
identifier is likely to cause the measurement data to be useless.
Where a Device has received LLDP messages from multiple adjacent
nodes, it should provide information extracted from those messages by
repeating the "lldp" element.
An example of an LLDP measurement is shown in Figure 3. This shows
an adjacent node (chassis) that is identified by the IP address
192.0.2.45 (hexadecimal c000022d) and the port on that node is
numbered using an agent circuit ID [RFC3046] of 162 (hexadecimal a2).

Figure 3: LLDP Measurement Example
IEEE 802 Devices that are able to obtain information about adjacent
network switches and their attachment to them by other means MAY use
this data type to convey this information.
4.3. DHCP Relay Agent Information Measurements
The DHCP Relay Agent Information option [RFC3046] provides
measurement data about the network attachment of a Device. This
measurement data can be included in the "dhcp-rai" element.
The elements in the DHCP relay agent information options are opaque
data types assigned by the DHCP relay agent. The three items are all
optional: circuit identifier ("circuit", [RFC3046]), remote
identifier ("remote", [RFC3046], [RFC4649]) and subscriber identifier
("subscriber", [RFC3993], [RFC4580]). The DHCPv6 remote identifier
has an associated enterprise number [IANA.enterprise] as an XML
attribute.
::ffff:192.0.2.158
108b
Figure 4: DHCP Relay Agent Information Measurement Example
The "giaddr" is specified as a dotted quad IPv4 address or an RFC
4291 [RFC4291] IPv6 address. The enterprise number is specified as a
decimal integer. All other information is included verbatim from the
DHCP request in hexadecimal format.
4.4. 802.11 WLAN Measurements
In WiFi, or 802.11, networks a Device might be able to provide
information about the wireless access point (WAP) that it is attached
to, or other WiFi points it is able to see. This is provided using
the "wifi" element, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5: 802.11 WLAN Measurement Example
A wifi element is made up of a serving WAP, zero or more neighbouring
WAPs, and an optional "nicType" element. Each WAP element is
comprised of the following fields:
ssid: The service set identifier for the wireless network. This
parameter MAY be provided.
bssid: The basic service set identifier. In an Infrastructure BSS
network, the bssid is the 48 bit MAC address of the wireless
access point, and it MUST be provided.
wapname: The broadcast name for the wireless access point. This
element is optional.
location: The location of the wireless access point, as reported
using by the wireless access point. This optional element
contains GML geometry, following the restrictions described in
[RFC5491].
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
type: The network type for the network access. This element
includes the alphabetic suffix of the 802.11 specification that
defines the radio interface; e.g. 'a', 'b', 'g', or 'n'. This
element is optional.
channel: The channel number (frequency) that the wireless access
point operates on. This element is optional.
rssi: The received signal strength indicator of the WAP as seen by
the wireless receiver. This value SHOULD be in units of dBm (with
RMS error in dB). If the units are unknown, the "dBm" attribute
MUST be set to "false". Signal strength reporting on current
hardware uses a range of different units; therefore, the value of
the "nicType" element SHOULD be included if the units are not
known to be in dBm and the value reported by the hardware should
be included without modification. This element is optional and
includes optional "rmsError" and "samples" attributes.
snr: The signal to noise ratio measured by the Device, in dBm. This
element is optional and includes optional "rmsError" and "samples"
attributes.
rtt: The total round trip time from the time that a request is sent
by the device to the time that it receives the response from the
access point. This measurement includes any delays that might
occur between the time that the access point receives the message
and the time that it sends the response. If the delay at an
access point is known, this value can be used to calculate an
approximate distance between device and access point. This
element is optional and includes optional "rmsError" and "samples"
attributes.
The "nicType" element is used to specify the make and model of the
wireless network interface in the Device. Different 802.11 chipsets
report the signal strength in different ways, so the network
interface type must be specified in order for the LIS to use signal
strength indicators as part of its location determination process.
The content of this field is unconstrained and no mechanisms are
specified to ensure uniqueness.
4.5. Cellular Measurements
Cellular Devices are common throughout the world and base station
identifiers can provide a good source of coarse location information.
This information can be provided to a LIS run by the cellar operator,
or may be provided to an alternative LIS operator that has access to
one of several global cell-id to location mapping databases.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
A number of advanced location determination methods have been
developed for cellular networks. For these methods a range of
measurement parameters can be collected by the network, Device, or
both in cooperation. This document includes a basic identifier for
the wireless transmitter only; future efforts might define additional
parameters that enabled more accurate location information to be
determined.
The cellular measurement set allows a Device to report to a LIS any
LTE (Figure 6), UMTS (Figure 7), GSM (Figure 8) or CDMA (Figure 9)
cells that it is able to hear. Cells are reported using their global
identifiers. All 3GPP cells are identified by public land mobile
network (PLMN), which is formed of mobile country code (MCC) and
mobile network code (MNC); specific fields are added for each network
type. All other values are decimal integers.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) cells are not identified by
PLMN, instead these use network id (nid), system id (sid) and base
station id (baseid).
Figure 9: Example CDMA Cellular Measurement
In general a cellular Device will be attached to the cellular network
and so the notion of a serving cell exists. Cellular network also
provide overlap between neighbouring sites, so a mobile Device can
hear more than one cell. The measurement schema supports sending
both the serving cell and any other cells that the mobile might be
able to hear. In some cases, the Device may simply be listening to
cell information without actually attaching to the network, mobiles
without a SIM are an example of this. In this case the Device may
simply report cells it can hear without flagging one as a serving
cell. An example of this is shown in Figure 10.

4.6. GNSS Measurements
GNSS use orbiting satellites to transmit signals. A Device with a
GNSS receiver is able to take measurements from the satellite
signals. The results of these measurements can be used to determine
time and the location of the Device.
Determining location and time in autonomous GNSS receivers follows
three steps:
Signal acquisition: During the signal acquisition stage, the
receiver searches for the repeating code that is sent by each GNSS
satellite. Successful operation typically requires measurement
data for a minimum of 5 satellites. At this stage, measurement
data is available to the Device.
Navigation message decode: Once the signal has been acquired, the
receiver then receives information about the configuration of the
satellite constellation. This information is broadcast by each
satellite and is modulated with the base signal at a low rate; for
instance, GPS sends this information at about 50 bits per second.
Calculation: The measurement data is combined with the data on the
satellite constellation to determine the location of the receiver
and the current time.
A Device that uses a GNSS receiver is able to report measurements
after the first stage of this process. A LIS can use the results of
these measurements to determine a location. In the case where there
are fewer results available than the optimal minimum, the LIS might
be able to use other sources of measurement information and combine
these with the available measurement data to determine a position.
Note: The use of different sets of GNSS _assistance data_ can
reduce the amount of time required for the signal acquisition
stage and obviate the need for the receiver to extract data on the
satellite constellation. Provision of assistance data is outside
the scope of this document.
Figure 11 shows an example of GNSS measurement data. The measurement
shown is for the GPS system and includes measurement data for three
satellites only.

Figure 11: Example GNSS Measurement
Each "gnss" element represents a single set of GNSS measurement data,
taken at a single point in time. Measurements taken at different
times can be included in different "gnss" elements to enable
iterative refinement of results.
GNSS measurement parameters are described in more detail in the
following sections.
4.6.1. GNSS System and Signal
The GNSS measurement structure is designed to be generic and to apply
to different GNSS types. Different signals within those systems are
also accounted for and can be measured separately.
The GNSS type determines the time system that is used. An indication
of the type of system and signal can ensure that the LIS is able to
correctly use measurements.
Measurements for multiple GNSS types and signals can be included by
repeating the "gnss" element.
This document creates an IANA registry for GNSS types. Two satellite
systems are registered by this document: GPS and Galileo. Details
for the registry are included in Section 7.1.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
4.6.2. Time
Each set of GNSS measurements is taken at a specific point in time.
The "time" attribute is used to indicate the time that the
measurement was acquired, if the receiver knows how the time system
used by the GNSS relates to UTC time.
Alternative to (or in addition to) the measurement time, the
"gnssTime" element MAY be included. The "gnssTime" element includes
a relative time in milliseconds using the time system native to the
satellite system. For the GPS satellite system, the "gnssTime"
element includes the time of week in milliseconds. For the Galileo
system, the "gnssTime" element includes the time of day in
milliseconds.
The accuracy of the time measurement provided is critical in
determining the accuracy of the location information derived from
GNSS measurements. The receiver SHOULD indicate an estimated time
error for any time that is provided. An RMS error can be included
for the "gnssTime" element, with a value in milliseconds.
4.6.3. Per-Satellite Measurement Data
Multiple satellites are included in each set of GNSS measurements
using the "sat" element. Each satellite is identified by a number in
the "num" attribute. The satellite number is consistent with the
identifier used in the given GNSS.
Both the GPS and Galileo systems use satellite numbers between 1 and
64.
The GNSS receiver measures the following parameters for each
satellite:
doppler: The observed Doppler shift of the satellite signal,
measured in metres per second. This is converted from a value in
Hertz by the receiver to allow the measurement to be used without
knowledge of the carrier frequency of the satellite system.
codephase: The observed code phase for the satellite signal,
measured in milliseconds. This is converted from a value in chips
or wavelengths. Increasing values indicate increasing
pseudoranges. This value includes an optional RMS error
attribute, also measured in milliseconds.
Thomson & Winterbottom Expires April 23, 2010 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft Location Measurements October 2009
cn0: The signal to noise ratio for the satellite signal, measured in
decibel-Hertz (dB-Hz). The expected range is between 20 and 50
dB-Hz.
mp: An estimation of the amount of error that multipath signals
contribute in metres. This parameter is optional.
cq: An indication of the carrier quality. Two attributes are
included: "continuous" may be either "true" or "false"; direct may
be either "direct" or "inverted". This parameter is optional.
adr: The accumulated Doppler range, measured in metres. This
parameter is optional and is not necessary unless multiple sets of
GNSS measurements are provided.
All values are converted from measures native to the satellite system
to generic measures to ensure consistency of interpretation. Unless
necessary, the schema does not constrain these values.
4.7. DSL Measurements
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) networks rely on a range of network
technology. DSL deployments regularly require cooperation between
multiple organizations. These fall into two broad categories:
infrastructure providers and Internet service providers (ISPs).
Infrastructure providers manage the bulk of the physical
infrastructure including cabling. End users obtain their service
from an ISP, which manages all aspects visible to the end user
including IP address allocation and operation of a LIS. See
[DSL.TR025] and [DSL.TR101] for further information on DSL network
deployments.
Exchange of measurement information between these organizations is
necessary for location information to be correctly generated. The
ISP LIS needs to acquire location information from the infrastructure
provider. However, the infrastructure provider has no knowledge of
Device identifiers, it can only identify a stream of data that is
sent to the ISP. This is resolved by passing measurement data
relating to the Device to a LIS operated by the infrastructure
provider.
4.7.1. L2TP Measurements
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a common means of linking the
infrastructure provider and the ISP. The infrastructure provider LIS
requires measurement data that identifies a single L2TP tunnel, from
which it can generate location information. Figure 12 shows an
example L2TP measurement.

4.7.2. RADIUS Measurements
When authenticating network access, the infrastructure provider might
employ a RADIUS [RFC2865] proxy at the DSL Access Module (DSLAM) or
Access Node (AN). These messages provide the ISP RADIUS server with
an identifier for the DSLAM or AN, plus the slot and port that the
Device is attached on. These data can be provided as a measurement,
which allows the infrastructure provider LIS to generate location
information.
The format of the AN, slot and port identifiers are not defined in
the RADIUS protocol. Slot and port together identify a circuit on
the AN, analogous to the circuit identifier in [RFC3046]. These
items are provided directly, as they were in the RADIUS message. An
example is shown in Figure 13.

4.7.3. Ethernet VLAN Tag Measurements
For Ethernet-based DSL access networks, the DSL Access Module (DSLAM)
or Access Node (AN) provide two VLAN tags on packets. A C-TAG is
used to identify the incoming residential circuit, while the S-TAG is
used to identify the DSLAM or AN. The C-TAG and S-TAG together can
be used to identify a single point of network attachment. An example
is shown in Figure 14.

Figure 14: Example DSL VLAN Tag Measurement
Alternatively, the C-TAG can be replaced by data on the slot and port
that the Device is attached to. This information might be included
in RADIUS requests that are proxied from the infrastructure provider
to the ISP RADIUS server.
4.7.4. ATM Virtual Circuit Measurements
An ATM virtual circuit can be employed between the ISP and
infrastructure provider. Providing the virtual port ID (VPI) and
virtual circuit ID (VCI) for the virtual circuit gives the
infrastructure provider LIS the ability to identify a single data
stream. A sample measurement is shown in Figure 15.

5. Measurement Schemas
The schema are broken up into their relative functions. There is a
base container schema into which all measurements are placed. There
is a basic types schema, that contains various base type definitions
for things such as the "rmsError" and "samples" attributes IPv4, IPv6
and MAC addresses. Then each of the specific measurement types is
defined in its own schema.

6. Security Considerations
Location-related measurement data are provided by the Device for the
sole purpose of generating more accurate location information. The
LIS SHOULD NOT retain location-related measurement data for any
longer than is necessary to generate location information.
A LIS MUST NOT reveal location-related measurement data to any other
entity unless given explicit permission by the Device. This document
does not include any means to indicate such permission.
A Device is able to explicitly limit the time that a LIS stores
measurement data by adding an expiry time to the measurement data,
see Section 4.1.2.
Use of measurement data provides an opportunity for a malicious
Device to include falsified information in the hopes of causing the
LIS to provide a fake, or spoofed, location. If any degree of
certitude is assigned to the location provided by the LIS--above that
assigned to location provided by the device--the LIS SHOULD verify
that the measurement data is correct. Section 3.1 discusses the
risks and limitations involved in the use of measurement data.

7. IANA Considerations
This section creates a registry for GNSS types (Section 4.6) and
registers the schema from Section 5.
7.1. IANA Registry for GNSS Types
This document establishes a new IANA registry for Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) types. The registry includes tokens for the
GNSS type and for each of the signals within that type. Referring to
[RFC2434], this registry operates under both "Expert Review" and
"Specification Required" rules. The IESG will appoint an Expert
Reviewer who will advise IANA promptly on each request for a new or
updated GNSS type.
Each entry in the registry requires the following information:
GNSS name: the name and a brief description of the GNSS
Brief description: the name and a brief description of the GNSS
GNSS token: a token that can be used to identify the GNSS
Signals: a set of tokens that represent each of the signals that the
system provides
Documentation reference: a reference to one or more stable, public
specifications that outline usage of the GNSS, including (but not
limited to) signal specifications and time systems
The registry initially includes two registrations:
GNSS name: Global Positioning System (GPS)
Brief description: a system of satellites that use spread-spectrum
transmission, operated by the US military for commercial and
military applications
GNSS token: gps
Signals: L1, L2, L1C, L2C, L5
