15、ments for network and handset based location solutions for Enhanced 9-1-1 emergency call services. These requirements can be found in the Commissions Third Report and Order, adopted September 15, 1999. The Emergency Services Interconnection Forum (ESIF) identified the need for industry accepted meth

16、odologies for testing the accuracy performance and end-to-end functionality of Wireless E9-1-1 Phase 2 systems, both for initial assessment testing as well as ongoing maintenance testing. Requirements for accuracy testing methodologies were addressed in ATIS Standard ATIS-0500001, released in May of

17、 2004, and end-to-end testing requirements were addressed in ATIS Standard ATIS-0500009, released in June 2006. This document is divided into two sections; Part 1 addresses maintenance testing for accuracy, and Part 2 addresses maintenance of end-to-end functionality testing for Phase 1 and/or Phase

18、 2 Wireless E9-1-1 systems. This document neither recommends nor imposes a specific test methodology, but rather provides a common frame of reference that individual stakeholders can use to ensure continued accuracy and functionality compliance of Phase 1 or Phase 2 E9-1-1 integrated networks throug

19、h the inevitable updates and changes that occur over time, and provides a set of minimum requirements for individual test methodologies. Every possible effort has been made to ensure that these requirements remain technology neutral. Per current ESIF Operating Guidelines, due process has been follow

27、 (ESIF) Issue 38 - Uniform Approach for Deriving Class of Service Oct. 20, 2006 2 DEFINITIONS This section offers a few definitions found to be important to maintain a common vocabulary throughout the creation of this document Accuracy Testing Accuracy testing, whether through empirical and/or predi

28、ctive test methods, consists of generating location data to gauge the accuracy performance of the system. Location data, typically significant in volume, involves the location infrastructure of the carriers network. The primary objective is to verify location accuracy and correct any location system

29、 errors. Limiting the test to the carriers location network minimizes impact to the rest of the Phase II network and maximizes the capability of the carriers to optimize their system. Event-Driven Accuracy Maintenance Trigger: Any accuracy maintenance trigger arising from an incident within a test a

30、rea or sub-area that might significantly alter the validity of pre-recorded empirical test data for the affected area. ATIS-0500010 3Functionality Testing (End to End) Functionality testing consists of testing the delivery of the location data from the carrier to the PSAP. The objective of this test

31、ing activity is to ensure interoperability between the carrier and the Emergency Service Network. This testing activity requires tight coordination among the involved parties, which normally includes the Emergency Service Network, the carrier and the technology vendors. Initial Deployment (Phase 1 a

32、nd Phase 2) Deployment of Phase 1 or Phase 2 wireless location capability by a Wireless Service Provider (WSP) that has not previously deployed in a PSAP jurisdiction within the 911- Entitys region. International Roamer A subscriber handset that has local service outside of the United States. Jurisd

33、ictional PSAP The PSAP having primary jurisdictional responsibility for a given location. KPI Key Performance Indicator. KPIs consist of relevant location network metrics and ratios which can be helpful in detecting performance problems. Specific KPIs are typically technology and implementation depe

34、ndent. In the context of functionality end-to-end maintenance testing, examples of KPIs might include monitoring Phase II yield, monitoring the mix of Phase II location types or the count of location requests by PSAP. Maintenance Testing Maintenance testing may be conducted after a system has been t

35、urned up with the Emergency Service Network. Like all network systems, maintenance testing will be conducted as needed to ensure functionality and performance. This testing activity may include functionality and/or accuracy testing and the participation of the Emergency Service Network may or may no

36、t be required. Maintenance testing can be a condensed version of the original accuracy and functionality testing. pANI The pseudo automatic number assigned to identify and an emergency call. Includes both ESRD and ESRK. Phase 1 Response A response shall be classified as Phase 1 when the location del

37、ivered is based on the cell sector from which the call originated. The displayed Class of Service may be either WRLS (no Phase 2 location capability exists), or WPH1 (Phase 2 capability exists but the specific caller location could not be determined). Cell sites with a sufficiently limited coverage

38、radius may also be considered Phase 2. Note: Class of Service displays may vary among 9-1-1 system service providers and are not controlled directly by the wireless carrier. ATIS-0500010 4Phase 2 Response A response shall be classified as Phase 2, with a WPH2 Class of Service, when the MPC/GMLC prov

39、ides the estimated location of the caller. The Position Source value delivered to the ESME indicates a positioning method capable of determining the callers location was used, regardless of accuracy. Cell sites with a sufficiently limited coverage radius may also be considered Phase 2. Predictive Te

40、sting A predictive test method consists of utilizing a predictive model to compute the expected accuracy of a location determining technology within a wireless carriers service area. The predictive model takes into account the physical elements of the location determining system for network or hands

41、et based solutions as well as the relevant terrain and RF propagation characteristics. PSAP Authority The entity having responsibility for PSAP operations and function. This may be a local, regional or state level organization. Roamer A subscriber handset that has local service outside the WSPs loca

42、l serving area, but within the United States. Routing PSAP Wireless network coverage areas and position determining systems do not typically align exactly with PSAP jurisdictional areas. The Routing PSAP is the PSAP to which a call from a given location is routed based on wireless system coverage fa

43、ctors and position determination capabilities, and may or may not be the same as the jurisdictional PSAP. Timing and Latency Timing refers to measuring the relative time of occurrence of events in the system relative to a common time reference. Latency refers to the elapsed time between the start of

44、 an event (or a specific sequence of events) in one part of the system and its (or their) conclusion in the same or another part of the system.

48、und to be compliant1,2the wireless carrier shall ensure that its network maintains compliance through the accuracy maintenance test requirements established in this document. OET-71 encouraged the development of accuracy test methods that were efficient, reliable, simple, and cost-effective. These a

49、ttributes are especially significant given the on-going nature of maintenance testing. It has been recognized by both ESIF and NRIC that maintenance testing can be a condensed version of the original accuracy and functionality testing. ESIFs goal in developing these requirements is to define efficient, simple and cost-effective maintenance test methods, which are still reliable and technically sound. With this in mind, it is further recognized that maintenance testing efforts will typically not be full-fledged OET-71/ATIS-05000
