6.17  Location Accuracy Analytics |R18|  p. 255

6.17.1  General  p. 255

This clause specifies how an NWDAF can provide Location Accuracy Analytics which provides analytics for LCS QoS accuracy to an analytics consumer such as LMF.
With different input data to NWDAF, the Location Accuracy Analytics provides one or a combination of the following information:
  • when the input data is location:
    • location accuracy (i.e. Horizontal Accuracy (see clause 4.3.1 of TS 22.071) and optionally Vertical Accuracy (see clause 4.3.2 of TS 22.071) of applicable positioning method at indicated location;
    • Indication on whether a UE is indoor or outdoor when a location measurement is made (optional);
    • Indication on whether a UE location is measured with NLOS or LOS (optional);
  • when the input data is area:
    • average location accuracy (i.e. Horizontal Accuracy (see clause 4.3.1 of TS 22.071) and optionally Vertical Accuracy (see clause 4.3.2 of TS 22.071) of applicable positioning method at indicated area;
    • percentage of indoor/outdoor measurement for an applicable area (optional);
    • percentage of NLOS/LOS measurement for an applicable area (optional);
    • requested Confidence of location accuracy prediction (optional).
The consumer of these analytics shall indicate in the request or subscription:
  • Analytics ID = "Location Accuracy";
  • Target of Analytics Reporting: "any UE";
  • Analytics Filter Information:
    • Optionally, the Positioning methods used as defined in clause 4.2b of TS 23.273;
    • Location information (horizontal and optional vertical); or
    • Area of Interest: restricts the scope of the LCS accuracy analytics to the provided area. The AOI is TA and/or cell list as defined in TS 23.502. Depends on the NWDAF consumer, there can be more than one AOIs in one request;
    • Optionally, the list of analytics subsets that are requested among those specified in clause 6.17.3;
  • optionally, a preferred level of accuracy of the analytics;
  • optionally, preferred level of accuracy per analytics subset (see clause 6.17.3);
  • optionally, Reporting Thresholds, which apply only for subscriptions and indicate conditions on the level to be reached for respective analytics subsets (see clause 6.17.3) in order to be notified by the NWDAF;
  • optionally, maximum number of objects; and
  • an Analytics target period indicates the time period over which the statistics or predictions are requested.

Up
Pre-condition:
NWDAF has a trained supervised ML model for predicting location accuracy. In the training phase, the NWDAF consumes input data as listed in listed in clause 6.17.2. To pretrain the ML model, NWDAF may collect input data based on area of interest (AoI). The AoI is determined by NWDAF.
Step 0-1.
NWDAF collects UE IDs from AMF as defined in Table 6.17.2-1 via the AMF event exposure service with AoI as filtering criteria.
Step 0-2.
NWDAF collects the UE location information using LCS (location estimate, Position Methods Used, Indoor/Outdoor indication, NLOS/LOS indication) as described in clause 6.2.12 and Table 6.17.2-1 with UE ID as filtering criteria.
Step 0-3.
NWDAF collects ground truth UE location information and assistance information that relates to the positioning method from OAM.
Step 0-4.
NWDAF prepares the analytics for statistics and/or pre-trains the ML model for prediction.
Step 1.
The Analytics consumer, e.g. LMF, requests from NWDAF location accuracy statistics or predictions, giving as inputs the corresponding Analytics ID and UE location estimate (in the form of horizontal and/or vertical location) or corresponding area (cell ID/TAI). The analytics request to the NWDAF may be a one time or a subscription request. Other inputs such as UE positioning method, applicable period can be assistance data.
Step 2.
The NWDAF uses the trained ML model and provides the location accuracy as output to the analytics consumer.
