Dear all,

under the open sky the satellite navigator of the terminal probably does give the most accurate location information. But the location obtained by the network via base station in a motorway / train tunnel in is probably much better than the one from the UE at the same time. And we need to serve the terminals without GPS also.

So therefore I tend to agree with Jon that as long as it is possible to encode multiple location objects (which we unfortunately need to allow), the application level logic how to use those locations at the receiving end is outside of the scope of this document. In this draft we should not define any preference or indication which one of them is best.

Having said that, do you see any problem to just mandate it or to build the syntax in such a way that additional instances of location object are always appended after the existing ones, withouth giving the reason or otherwise ranking them into any other order than purely chronological? While I can't guarantee that the terminal provided location is always the most accurate, this way it would be at least possible to identify which one was closest to the origin of the message (and even that does not guarantee it came all the way from the terminal since the 3GPP UE is required to provide its location only is if knows its location).

This way it would be at least possible to find the location that was inserted first...or last, if that is preferred.

I don't think the draft can do anything more helpful than say you shouldn't include multiple location objects because they are confusing, and if you do permit multiple location objects, do so only in an environment where the inserter and recipient share some agreement about their meaning and interpretation (a slight expansion of "you break it you bought it," there). I don't think it will be a useful or successful exercise for us to try to concretize that in a standard.

Yes, I agree that replacing an enterprise-provided location is very bad. The problem with adding locations to locations already present is how the PSAP chooses between 2 or even 3 locations. From my reading of the draft, we don't have any normative statement on the order in which locations are placed in the header. If we had a rule that the first locationValue within a single or multiple Geolocation header fields is nearest to the source of the request, and so on, it might help. Then it would be clear that the service provider-provided location would be the least reliable, but it would still be there, e.g., for use if the other locations are bogus.
