  Filtering Location Notifications in the Session Initiation Protocol
                                 (SIP)
                 draft-ietf-geopriv-loc-filters-11.txt

Abstract

   This document describes filters that limit asynchronous location
   notifications to compelling events, designed as an extension to RFC
   4661, an XML-based format for event notification filtering, and based
   on RFC 3856, the SIP presence event package.  The resulting location
   information is conveyed in existing location formats wrapped in the
   Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO).

Internet-Draft              Location Filters                  March 2010


1.  Introduction

   Conveying location information encapsulated with a Presence
   Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) [RFC4119] document
   within SIP is described in [I-D.ietf-sipcore-location-conveyance].
   An alternative signaling approach to location conveyance, which uses
   asynchronous communication, is available with the SIP event
   notification mechanisms (see RFC 3265 [RFC3265]).  This document
   focuses on the event notification paradigm.  Event notifications are
   technically more complex since location may be measured as a
   continuous gradient and unlike notifications using discrete-valued
   quantities, it is difficult to know when a change in location is
   large enough to warrant a notification.  Event notifications
   [RFC3265] can be used with filters (see RFC 4661 [RFC4661]) that
   allow the number of notifications to be reduced.  The mechanism
   described in this document defines an extension to RFC 4661
   [RFC4661], which limits location notification to events that are of
   relevance to the subscriber.  These filters persist until they are
   changed with a replacement filter or when the subscription itself is
   terminated.

   The frequency of notifications necessary for various geographic
   location applications varies dramatically.  The subscriber should be
   able to get asynchronous notifications with appropriate frequency and
   granularity, without being flooded with a large number of
   notifications that are not important to the application.

   This document defines a new event filters and describes others using
   existing mechanisms that may be relevant to a subscriber in the
   context of location filtering.  Based on the functionality defined in
   this document notifications can be provided in the following cases:

   1.  the Device moves more than a specified distance since the last
       notification (see Section 3.1).

   2.  the Device exceeds a specified speed (see Section 3.2).

   3.  the Device enters or exits a region, described by a circle or a
       polygon (see Section 3.4).

   4.  one or more of the values of the specified address labels have
       changed for the location of the Device (see Section 3.3).  For
       example, the value of the <A1> civic address element has changed
       from 'California' to 'Nevada'.

   5.  the type of location information being requested (see
       Section 3.5).

   6.  a certain amount of time passes (see Section 3.6).

   This document builds on the presence event package [RFC3856], i. e.
   an existing event package for communicating location information
   inside the PIDF-LO.

3.  Filter Definitions

   This specification builds on top of a number of other specifications,
   as noted in Section 1.  In order to reduce the number of options (and
   thereby decrease the chance of interoperability problems), the
   functionality of [RFC4661] listed in the sub-sections below MUST be
   implemented, namely the <ns-bindings> (see Section 3.3 of [RFC4661]),
   the <filter> (Section 3.4 of [RFC4661]), and the <trigger> (Section
   3.6 of [RFC4661] excluding the functionality of the <added> and
   <removed> element).

3.1.  Movement

   The <moved> element MUST contain a value in meters indicates the
   minimum distance that the resource must have moved from the location
   of the resource since the last notification was sent in order to
   trigger this event.  The distance MUST be measured in meters
   absolutely from the point of last notification, and must include
   vertical movement.  The <moved> element MUST NOT appear more than
   once as a child element of the <filter> element.

       xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:simple-filter"

           <trigger>
               <lf:moved>300</lf:moved>
           </trigger>
       </filter>
   </filter-set>

                     Figure 1: Movement Filter Example

3.2.  Speed Changes

   Speed changes can be filtered by combining functionality from RFC
   4661 with the PIDF-LO extensions for spatial orientation, speed,
   heading, and acceleration defined in
   [I-D.singh-geopriv-pidf-lo-dynamic].  The value of the <speed>
   element from [I-D.singh-geopriv-pidf-lo-dynamic] MUST be defined in
   meters per second.  Note that the condition could be met by a change
   in any axis including altitude.

   Figure 2 shows an example for a trigger that fires when the speed of
   the Target changes by 3 meters per second.

       </filter>
   </filter-set>

                      Figure 2: Speed Change Example

   An implementation MUST support <ns-bindings> to replace the namespace
   prefix.  The XPath expression MUST start with a '//' followed by a
   single element.  No other form of XPath expression is supported.  The
   <changed> element comes with a few attributes but only the 'by'
   attribute MUST be implemented by this specification.

3.3.  Element Value Changes

   Changes in values, for example related to civic location information,
   is provided by the base functionality offered with RFC 4661 utilizing
   the <changed> element.

   Figure 3 shows an example where a notification is sent when the civic
   address tokens A1, A2, A3, and PC change (all four must change in
   order to let the <trigger> element evaluate to TRUE).

   (A change in ALL four tokens triggers an event.)

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <filter-set xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:simple-filter">
       <ns-bindings>
           <ns-binding prefix="ca"
               urn="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"/>
       </ns-bindings>
       <filter id="123" uri="sip:presentity@example.com">
           <trigger>
               <changed>//ca:country</changed>
               <changed>//ca:A1</changed>
               <changed>//ca:A2</changed>
               <changed>//ca:A3</changed>
               <changed>//ca:PC</changed>
           </trigger>
       </filter>
   </filter-set>

                  Figure 3: Element Value Change Example

   Note: The civic address tokens country, A1, A2, ..., A6 are
   hierachical.  It is likely that a change in one civic address token
   therefore leads to changes of tokens lower in the hiearchy, e.g., a
   change in A3 ('city or town') may cause a change in A4, A5, and A6.

   In times where it is desirable to know if any one element of a list
   of CAtypes changes, then they have to be put into separate <changes>
   filters to ensure you are notified when any of the element values
   change.  Figure 4 shows such an example that illustrates the
   difference.

   Target's location changes from 'FR' (France) to some other country.

   An implementation MUST support <ns-bindings> to replace the namespace
   prefix.  The XPath expression MUST start with a '//' followed by a
   single element.  No other form of XPath expression is supported.  No
   other variant is supported.  The <changed> element comes with a few
   attributes and the 'by', 'to' and 'from' attribute MUST be
   implemented to support this specification.

3.4.  Entering or Exiting a Region

   The <enterOrExit> condition is satisfied when the Target enters or
   exits a named 2-dimensional region described by a polygon (as defined
   in Section 5.2.2 of [RFC5491]), or a circle (as defined in Section
   5.2.3 of [RFC5491]).  The <enterOrExit> element MUST contain either a
   polygon or a circle as a child element.  The <enterOrExit> element
   MUST NOT have more than one polygon and/or circle.

   If the Target was previously outside the region, the notifier sends a
   notification when the Target's location is within the region with at
   least 50% confidence.  Similarly, when a Target starts within the
   region, a notification is sent when the Target's location moves
   outside the region with at least 50% confidence.

   Note that having 50% confidence that the Target is inside the area
   does not correspond to 50% outside.  The confidence that the location
   is within the region, plus the confidence that the location is
   outside the region is limited to the confidence of the location.  The
   total confidence depends on the confidence in the location, which is
   always less than 100% (95% is recommended in [RFC5491]).  The benefit
   of this is that notifications are naturally limited: small movements
   (relative to the uncertainty of the location) at the borders of the
   region do not trigger notifications.

   Figure 6 shows filter examples whereby a notification is sent when
   the Target enters or exits an area described by a circle and Figure 7
   describes an area using a polygon.

3.5.  Location Type

   The <locationType> element MAY be included as a child element of the
   <what> element and it contains a list of location information types
   that are requested by the subscriber.  The following list describes
   the possible values:

   any:  The Notifier SHOULD attempt to provide LI in all forms
      available to it.

Internet-Draft              Location Filters                  March 2010


   geodetic:  The Notifier SHOULD return a location by value in the form
      of a geodetic location.

   civic:  The Notifier SHOULD return a location by value in the form of
      a civic address.

   The Notifier SHOULD return the requested location type or types.  The
   location types the Notifier returns also depends on the setting of
   the optional 'exact' attribute.  If the 'exact' attribute is set to
   "true" then the Notifier MUST return either the requested location
   type or no location information.  The 'exact' attribute does not
   apply (is ignored) for a request for a location type of "any".

   In the case of a request for specific locationType(s) and the 'exact'
   attribute is "false", the Notifier MAY provide additional location
   types, or it MAY provide alternative types if the request cannot be
   satisfied for a requested location type.

   If the <locationType> element is absent, a value of "any" MUST be
   assumed as the default.

   The Notifier SHOULD provide location in the response in the same
   order in which they were included in the "locationType" element in
   the request.  Indeed, the primary advantage of including specific
   location types in a request when the 'exact' attribute is set to
   "false" is to ensure that one receives the available locations in a
   specific order.  For example, a subscription for "civic" (with the
   'exact' attribute set to "false") could yield any of the following
   location types in the response:

   o  civic

   o  civic, geodetic

   o  geodetic (only if civic is not available)

   The default value of "false" for the 'exact' attribute allows the
   Notifier the option of returning something beyond what is specified,
   such as a set of location URIs when only a civic location was
   requested.

   An example is shown in Figure 8 that utilizes the <locationType>
   element with the 'exact' and the 'responseTime' attribute.

3.6.  Rate Control

   [I-D.ietf-sipcore-event-rate-control] extends the SIP events
   framework by defining the following three "Event" header field
   parameters that allow a subscriber to set a minimum, a maximum and an
   average rate of event notifications generated by the notifier.  This
   allows a subscriber to have overall control over the stream of
   notifications, for example to avoid being flooded.  Two of the
   parameters, namely "min-interval" (which specifies a minimum
   notification time period between two notifications, in seconds) and
   "max-interval" (which specifies a maximum notification time period
   between two notifications, in seconds.) are used by this document.
   Only the implementation of these two attributes is required from the
   attributes defined in [I-D.ietf-sipcore-event-rate-control].
   Whenever the time since the most recent notification exceeds the
   value in the "max-interval" parameter, the current state would be
   sent in its entirety, just like after a subscription refresh.

   A notifier is required to send a NOTIFY request immediately after
   creation of a subscription.  If state is not available at that time,
   then the NOTIFY request may be sent with no content.  A separate
   NOTIFY containing location is subsequently generated some time
   between the time included in 'min-interval' and the time in 'max-
   interval'.  An important use case for location based applications
   focuses on the behavior of the initial NOTIFY message(s) and the
   information it returns, for example in case of emergency call
   routing.  When an initial NOTIFY is transmitted it might not include
   complete state.

       |<-------200--------|         for min-interval and max-interval)
       |<-----NOTIFY(2)----|     Return initial notify with no state
       |--------200------->|
       |<-----NOTIFY(3)----|     Return full state (between min-interval
       |--------200------->|         and max-interval)
       |---SUBSCRIBE(4)--->|     Update subscription (to update
       |<-------200--------|         min-interval and max-interval)

               Figure 9: SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY with Rate Control

   Figure 9 shows a SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY exchange.  The initial SUBSCRIBE
   message (1) has filters attached and contains a 'max-interval' rate
   control parameter.  In certain situations it is important to obtain
   some amount of location information within a relatively short and
   pre-defined period of time even if the obtained location information
   contains a high amount of uncertainty and location information with
   less uncertainty at a later point in time.  An example is emergency
   call routing where a emergency services routing proxy may need to
   obtain location information suitable for routing rather quickly and
   subsequently a Public Safety Answering Point requests location
   information for dispatch.

   To obtain location information in a timely fashion using the
   SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY mechanism, it is RECOMMENDED that the initial
   SUBSCRIBE contains a 'max-interval' rate control parameter (with a
   small value) that is in a later message updated to a more sensible
   value.  This provides equivalent functionality to the 'responseTime'
   attribute in Section 6.1 of
   [I-D.ietf-geopriv-http-location-delivery].  The 'max-interval' for
   this first request is therefore much lower than thereafter.  Updating
   the 'max-interval' for the subscription can be performed in the 200
   response (see message 3) to the NOTIFY that contains state.
   Depending on the value in the 'max-interval' parameter the Notifier
   may create a NOTIFY message (see message 2) immediately in response
   to the SUBSCRIBE that might be empty in case no location information
   is available at this point in time.  The desired location information
   may then arrive in the subsequent NOTIFY message (see message 4).

5.  Security Considerations

   This document specifies one piece, namely filters, utilized in larger
   system.  As such, this document builds on a number of specifications
   for the security of the complete solution, namely

   o  the SIP event notification mechanism, described in RFC 3265
      [RFC3265], defining the SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY messages.

   o  the presence event package, described in RFC 3856 [RFC3856], which
      is a concrete instantiation of the general event notification
      framework.

   o  the filter framework, described in RFC 4661 [RFC4661], to offer
      the ability to reduce the amount of notifications being sent.

   Finally, this document indirectly (via the SIP presence event
   package) relies on PIDF-LO, described in RFC 4119 [RFC4119], as the
   XML container that carries location information.

   Each of these documents listed above comes with a security
   consideration section but the security and privacy aspects are best
   covered by the SIP presence event package, see Section 9 of
   [RFC3856], and with the GEOPRIV architectural description found in
   [I-D.ietf-geopriv-arch].

   The functionality offered by authorization policies to limit access
   to location information are provided by other protocols, such Common
   Policy [RFC4745], Geolocation Policy [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy] or
   more recent work around HELD context
   [I-D.winterbottom-geopriv-held-context].  Although
   [I-D.ietf-geopriv-policy] defines a standardized format for
   geolocation authorization policies it does not define specific
   policies for controlling filters.

   The functionality described in this document extends the filter
   framework with location specific filters.  Local policies might be
   associated with the usage of certain filter constructs and with the
   amount of notifications specific filter settings might cause.
   Uploading filters have a significant effect on the ways in which the
   request is handled at a server.  As a result, it is especially
   important that messages containing this extension be authenticated
   and authorised.  RFC 4661 [RFC4661] discusses this security threat
   and proposed authentication and authorization solutions applicable by
   this specification.
