Charter

ECRIT working group

The charter of the ECRIT working group is reported below.
In a number of areas, the public switched telephone network (PSTN) has been configured to recognize an explicitly specified number (commonly one that is short and easily memorized) as a call for emergency services. These numbers (e.g. 911, 112) relate to an emergency service context and depend on a broad, regional configuration of service contact methods and a geographically-constrained context of service delivery. These calls are intended to be delivered to special call centers equipped to manage emergency response. Successful delivery of an emergency service call within those systems requires both an association of the physical location of the originator with an appropriate emergency service center and call routing to deliver the call to the center.

Calls placed using Internet technologies do not use the same systems to achieve those goals, and the common use of overlay networks and tunnels (either as VPNs or for mobility) makes meeting them more challenging. There are, however, Internet technologies available to describe location and to manage call routing. The Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technologies (ECRIT) working group will describe when these may be appropriate and how they may be used. Explicitly outside the scope of this group is the question of pre-emption or prioritization of emergency services traffic. This group is considering emergency services calls which might be made by any user of the Internet, as opposed to government or military services that may impose very different authentication and routing requirements.

The group will show how the availability of location data and call routing information at different steps in session setup would enable communication between a user and a relevant emergency response center. Though the term "call routing" is used in this document, it should be understood that some of the mechanisms which will be described might be used to enable other types of media streams. Video and text messaging, for example, might be used to request emergency services.

While this group anticipates a close working relationship with groups such as NENA and ETSI EMTEL, any solution presented must be useful regardless of jurisdiction, and it must be possible to use without a single, central authority. Further, it must be possible for multiple delegations within a jurisdiction to be handled independently, as call routing for specific emergency types may be independent.

This working group cares about privacy and security concerns, and will address them within its documents.

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) based Location-to-Service Translation Protocol (LoST) Discovery Procedure
The Location-to-Service Translation Protocol (LoST) describes an XML-based protocol for mapping service identifiers and geospatial or civic location information to service contact Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). LoST servers can be located anywhere but a placement closer to the end host, e.g., in the access network, is desireable. Such a LoST server placement provides benefits in disaster situations with intermittent network connectivity regarding the resiliency of emergency service communication.
This document describes how a LoST client can discover a LoST server using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Fraud mitigation for IP-based emergency calling
The use of Internet technologies for emergency calling creates opportunities for fraud, relative to traditional circuit-switched emergency calling. This document describes the context for IP-based emergency calling, and the types of fraud which are possible within the system. A mitigation strategy for fraud against voice service providers is described; techniques for detecting or preventing other types of fraud will be incorporated in this document as they are available.

Using Imprecise Location for Emergency Context Resolution
Emergency calling works best when precise location is available for emergency call routing. However, there are situations in which a location provider is unable or unwilling to provide precise location, yet still wishes to enable subscribers to make emergency calls. This document describes the level of location accuracy that providers must provide to enable emergency call routing. In addition, we descibe how emergency services and non-emergency services can be invoked by an endpoint that does not have access to its precise location.

Location-to-Service Translation Protocol (LoST) Extensions
An important class of location-based services answer the question "What instances of this service are closest to me?" Examples include finding restaurants, gas stations, stores, automated teller machines, wireless access points (hot spots) or parking spaces. Currently, the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) protocol only supports mapping locations to a single service based on service regions. This document describes an extension that allows queries "N nearest" and "within distance X".

Requirements for Authority-to-Individuals Communication for Emergency Situations
Public safety agencies need to provide information to the general public before and during large-scale emergencies. While many aspects of such systems are specific to national or local jurisdictions, emergencies span such boundaries and notifications need to reach visitors from other jurisdictions. This document summarizes requirements for protocols to alert individuals within a defined geographic area.

Location Hiding: Problem Statement and Requirements
The emergency services architecture developed in the IETF Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technology (ECRIT) working group describes an architecture where location information is provided by access networks to end points in order to determine the correct dial string and information to route the call to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). For determining the PSAP Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) the usage of the Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol is envisioned.
This document explores the architectural impact for the IETF emergency services architecture for situations where the Internet Access Provider (IAP) and/or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) are only willing to disclose limited or no location information.
This document provides a problem statement and lists requirements.

Extensions to the Emergency Services Architecture for dealing with Unauthenticated and Unauthorized Devices
The IETF emergency services architecture assumes that access to a network has already happened using the traditional network access authentication procedures or that no authentication for network access is needed (e.g., in case of public hotspots). Subsequent protocol interactions, such as obtaining location information, learning the address of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and the emergency call itself are largely decoupled from the underlying network access procedures.
There are, however, cases where a device is not in possession of credentials for network access, does not have a VoIP provider, or where the credentials are available but became invalid due to various reasons (e.g., credit exhaustion, expired accounts, etc.).
This document provides a problem statement, introduces terminology and describes an extension for the base IETF emergency services architecture.
