The purpose of E-CID Measurement Initiation procedure is to allow the LMF to request the NG-RAN node to report E-CID measurements used by LMF to compute the location of the UE.
The LMF initiates the procedure by sending an E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST message. If the NG-RAN node is able to initiate the requested E-CID measurements, it shall reply with the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message.
The
Measured Results IE shall be included in the
E-CID Measurement Result IE of the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message when measurement results other than the
"Cell-ID" have been requested.
If the
Report Characteristics IE is set to
"OnDemand", the NG-RAN node shall return the result of the measurement in the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message including, if available, the
NG-RAN Access Point Position IE in the
E-CID Measurement Result IE, and the LMF shall consider that the E-CID measurements for the UE has been terminated by the NG-RAN node. If available, the NG-RAN node shall include the
Cell Portion ID IE in the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message. Upon reception of the
Cell Portion ID IE, the LMF may use the value as the cell portion for the measurement. If the
Report Characteristics IE is set to
"OnDemand" and the
Inter-RAT Measurement Quantities IE is included in the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, provide the corresponding measurements, if available in the NG-RAN node, in the
Inter-RAT Measurement Result IE in E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message. If the
Report Characteristics IE is set to
"OnDemand" and the
WLAN Measurement Quantities IE is included in the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION REQUEST message, the NG-RAN node shall, if supported, provide the corresponding measurements, if available in the NG-RAN node, in the
WLAN Measurement Result IE in E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message.
If the
Report Characteristics IE is set to
"Periodic", the NG-RAN node shall initiate the requested measurements and shall reply with the E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION RESPONSE message without including either the
E-CID Measurement Result IE or the
Cell Portion ID IE in this message. The NG-RAN node shall then periodically initiate the E-CID Measurement Report procedure for the measurements, with the requested reporting periodicity.
If the NG-RAN node is not able to initiate at least one of the requested E-CID measurements, the NG-RAN node shall respond with an E-CID MEASUREMENT INITIATION FAILURE message.
