9、ns specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations o

10、n them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of

11、ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is

12、used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with

13、the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required

14、of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual

21、 Bibliography. 15 iv Rec. ITU-T F.747.5 (01/2014) Introduction With the help of numerous sensors, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and other end-node devices, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) can provide information exchange without any human intervention, for example, it is possible to

22、 monitor the weather in one particular area of China from the ITU office in Geneva by means of humidity and temperature sensors, and it is also possible to display traffic flow information for London via the velocity sensors on mobile phones. These trillions of new USN applications and services are

23、built using three basic elements data, time and location. With the increase in USN applications and services, new positioning methods are being created and automatic location identification (ALI) capabilities need to be added to the open USN service platform which provide unified accessibility to US

24、N resources and which allows the data of USN applications to take full advantage of the USN capabilities. Rec. ITU-T F.747.5 (01/2014) 1 Recommendation ITU-T F.747.5 Requirements and functional architecture of an automatic location identification system for ubiquitous sensor network (USN) applicatio

25、ns and services 1 Scope The automatic location identification (ALI) capability enables a device to discover its own location. The ALI system can be deployed along with network equipment or independently integrated with end-node devices. It can be used in various networks such as a mobile network, th

26、e Internet, or a low power wireless network. The scope of this Recommendation includes: requirements of the ALI system the functional architecture of the ALI system within an open USN service platform Specific scenarios of the ALI system. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other re

38、s for ALI systems 6.1 General requirements The following are the general requirements of the ALI system which address the minimum requirements of the location identification system for USN applications and services: ALI systems should coexist with existing location-related standards defined by other

39、 SDOs such as 3GPP2 b-3GPP2 IP-BLS and b-3GPP2 b-MAPLS, 3GPP b-3GPP LCS, and OMA b-OMA SUPL and b-OMA MLS. It is recommended that the introduction of an ALI system does not have any negative impact on the operation and performance of existing standards. Rec. ITU-T F.747.5 (01/2014) 3 The functions i

40、ntroduced by the ALI system are recommended to be either hosted in existing function elements of the USN or in completely new physical entities. The ALI system is required to not impose any modifications on the architecture or functionality of underlying network technology. It is recommended that al

41、l ALI location data be time-stamped, and the USN application and service are required to use the most recent data available. The ALI system is required to provide mechanisms to prevent denial of service attacks. The ALI system is required to ensure that data is protected in all transactions, in acco

42、rdance with the users privacy preferences, except for when this information is required for emergency or lawful purposes depending on local/regional regulations. The architecture is recommended to support the storage of location information for a sensor node so that it may be available later, if req

43、uired. ALI capability is required in order to allow support for location requests, regardless of a users privacy preferences, when associated with emergency services and applicable by local regulations. The ALI system is required to support sensor node-initiated and network-initiated positioning for

44、 emergency location requests. It is required that emergency services location information requests are given a higher priority over other location information requests, based on local regulatory requirements. 6.2 High-level requirements The following are the high-level requirements of the ALI system

45、, which specify the users needs for automatic location identification for the ubiquitous sensor network. Supporting seamless positioning techniques: The ALI system is recommended to support seamless positioning techniques. This could be accomplished by automatically changing to other suitable techni

46、ques when the currently operating positioning technique cannot determine the location, or the positioning result is not acceptable. Supporting hybrid positioning techniques: The ALI system is recommended to support location identification by combining more than one positioning technique when a singl

47、e positioning technique cannot specify the exact location of the device. It is also recommended to support the process of choosing the best-fit positioning technique from the many available techniques. Supporting USN location identification techniques: The device utilizes USN techniques to determine

48、 its location, such as an image processing technique, RFID or a gyroscope technique. The ALI system is recommended to support these techniques. Positioning data compression and conflict control management: When portable devices periodically update their location, network performance could be affecte

49、d if a large number of USN devices are working in an inadequate network environment. It is recommended that ALI systems support conflict control and compression of the positioning data to reduce this problem. Conversion of coordinates: Location information is shared to support many USN applications which use different coordinates; as a result, the ALI system is recommended to support the uniformity of coordinates and the possible conversion of coordinates. 4 Rec.
