Summary

Involving the device in location determination has a number of benefits for the overall accuracy, precision, and reliability of the results. The device is able to provide location measurements or calculated results to the LIS. The impact to the location architecture has been discussed, including how the device can interact with the LIS to access features it cannot provide on its own.

Examples of location determination technologies that use the device have been shown. These technologies were examined for their applicability in location measurements, autonomous location determination, or both. Sample methods for a range of technologies that could be used by the LIS were also covered.
