Additional Data Related to an Emergency Call
draft-ietf-ecrit-additional-data-27.txt

Abstract

When an emergency call is sent to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the device that sends it, as well as any application service provider in the path of the call, or access network provider through which the call originated may have information about the call, the caller or the location which the PSAP may be able to use. This document describes data structures and a mechanism to convey such data to the PSAP. The mechanism uses a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), which may point to either an external resource or an object in the body of the SIP message. The mechanism thus allows the data to be passed by reference (when the URI points to an external resource) or by value (when it points into the body of the message). This follows the tradition of prior emergency services standardization work where data can be conveyed by value within the call signaling (i.e., in body of the SIP message) and also by reference.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

When an IP-based emergency call is initiated, a rich set of data from multiple data sources is conveyed to the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This data includes information about the calling party identity, the multimedia capabilities of the device, the request for emergency services, location information, and meta-data about the sources of the data. The device, the access network provider, and any service provider in the call path may have even more information useful for a PSAP. This document extends the basic set of data communicated with an IP-based emergency call, as described in [RFC6443] and [RFC6881], in order to carry additional data which may be useful to an entity or call taker handling the call. This data is "additional" to the basic information found in the emergency call signaling used.

In general, there are three categories of this additional data that may be transmitted with an emergency call:

Data Associated with a Location:
Primary location data is conveyed in the Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) data structure as defined in RFC 4119 [RFC4119] and extended by RFC 5139 [RFC5139] and RFC 6848 [RFC6848] (for civic location information), RFC 5491 [RFC5491] and RFC 5962 [RFC5962] (for geodetic location information), and [RFC7035] (for relative location). This primary location data identifies the location or estimated location of the caller. However, there may exist additional, secondary data which is specific to the location, such as floor plans, tenant and building owner contact data, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) status, etc. Such secondary location data is not included in the location data structure but can be transmitted using the mechanisms defined in this document. Although this document does not define any structures for such data, future documents may do so following the procedures defined here.
Data Associated with a Call:
While some information is carried in the call setup procedure itself (as part of the SIP headers as well as in the body of the SIP message), there is additional data known by the device making the call and/or a service provider along the path of the call. This information may include the service provider contact information, subscriber identity and contact information, the type of service the service provider and the access network provider offer, what type of device is being used, etc. Some data is broadly applicable, while other data is dependent on the type of device or service. For example, a medical monitoring device may have sensor data. The data structures defined in this document (Data Provider Information, Device Information, and Owner/Subscriber Information) all fall into the category of "Data Associated with a Call".
Data Associated with a Caller:
This is personal data about a caller, such as medical information and emergency contact data. Although this document does not define any structures within this category, future documents may do so following the procedures defined here.

While this document defines data structures only within the category of Data Associated with a Call, by establishing the overall framework of Additional Data, along with general mechanisms for transport of such data, extension points and procedures for future extensions, it minimizes the work needed to carry data in the other categories. Other specifications may make use of the facilities provided here.

For interoperability, there needs to be a common way for the information conveyed to a PSAP to be encoded and identified. Identification allows emergency services authorities to know during call processing which types of data are present and to determine if they wish to access it. A common encoding allows the data to be successfully accessed.

This document defines an extensible set of data structures, and mechanisms to transmit this data either by value or by reference, either in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) call signaling or in the Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO). The data structures are usable by other communication systems and transports as well. The data structures are defined in Section 4, and the transport mechanisms (using SIP and HTTPS) are defined in Section 5.

Each data structure described in this document is encoded as a "block" of information. Each block is an XML structure with an associated Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) type for identification within transport such as SIP and HTTPS. The set of blocks is extensible. Registries are defined to identify the block types that may be used and to allow blocks to be included in emergency call signaling.

2. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

This document also uses terminology from [RFC5012]. We use the term service provider to refer to an Application Service Provider (ASP). A Voice Service Provider (VSP) is a special type of ASP. With the term "Access Network Provider" we refer to the Internet Access Provider (IAP) and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) without further distinguishing these two entities, since the difference between the two is not relevant for this document. Note that the roles of ASP and access network provider may be provided by a single company. An Emergency Services Provider is an entity directly involved in providing emergency services. This includes PSAPs, dispatch, police, fire, emergency medical, other responders, and other similar agencies.

Within each data block definition (see Section 4), the values for the "Use:" label are specified as one of the following:

'Required':
means it MUST be present in the data structure.
'Conditional':
means it MUST be present if the specified condition(s) is met. It MAY be present if the condition(s) is not met.
'Optional':
means it MAY be present.

vCard is a data format for representing and exchanging a variety of information about individuals and other entities. For applications that use XML the format defined in vCard is not immediately applicable. For this purpose an XML-based encoding of the information elements defined in the vCard specification has been defined and the name of that specification is xCard. Since the term vCard is more familiar to most readers, we use the term xCard and vCard interchangeably.

3. Document Scope

The scope of this document is explicitly limited to emergency calls. The data structures defined here are not appropriate to be conveyed with non-emergency calls because they carry sensitive and private data.

4. Data Structures

This section defines the following five data structures, each as a data block. For each block we define the MIME type, and the XML encoding. The five data structures are:

'Data Provider':
This block supplies name and contact information for the entity that created the data. Section 4.1 provides the details.
'Service Information':
This block supplies information about the service. The description can be found in Section 4.2.
'Device Information':
This block supplies information about the device placing the call. Device information can be found in Section 4.3.
'Owner/Subscriber':
This block supplies information about the owner of the device or about the subscriber. Details can be found in Section 4.4.
'Comment':
This block provides a way to supply free form human readable text to the PSAP or emergency responders. This simple structure is defined in Section 4.5.

Each block contains a mandatory <DataProviderReference> element. The purpose of the <DataProviderReference> element is to associate all blocks added by the same data provider as a unit. The <DataProviderReference> element associates the data provider block to each of the other blocks added as a unit. Consequently, when a data provider adds additional data to an emergency call (such as device information) it MUST add information about itself (via the data provider block) and the blocks added contain the same value in the <DataProviderReference> element. All blocks added by a single entity at the same time MUST have the same <DataProviderReference> value. The value of the <DataProviderReference> element has the same syntax and properties (specifically, world-uniqueness) as the value of the "Message-ID" message body header field specified in RFC 5322 [RFC5322] except that the <DataProviderReference> element is not enclosed in brackets (the "<" and ">" symbols are omitted). In other words, the value of a <DataProviderReference> element is syntactically a msg-id as specified in RFC 5322 [RFC5322].

Note that the xCard format is re-used in some of the data structures to provide contact information. In an xCard there is no way to specify a "main" telephone number. These numbers are useful to emergency responders who are called to a large enterprise. This document adds a new property value to the "tel" property of the TYPE parameter called "main". It can be used in any xCard in additional data.

4.1. Data Provider Information

This block is intended to be supplied by any service provider in the path of the call or the access network provider. It includes identification and contact information. This block SHOULD be supplied by every service provider in the call path, and by the access network provider. Devices MAY use this block to provide identifying information. The MIME subtype is "application/EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo+xml". An access network provider SHOULD provide this block either by value or by reference in the provided-by section of a PIDF-LO

4.1.1. Data Provider String

Data Element:
Data Provider String
Use:
Required
XML Element:
<DataProviderString>
Description:
This is a plain text string suitable for displaying the name of the service provider that supplied the data structure. If the device creates the structure, it SHOULD use the value of the contact header in the SIP INVITE.
Reason for Need:
Inform the call taker of the identity of the entity providing the data.
How Used by Call Taker:
Allows the call taker to interpret the data in this structure. The source of the information often influences how the information is used, believed or verified.

4.1.2. Data Provider ID

Data Element:
Data Provider ID
Use:
Required. This data MUST be provided in order to uniquely identify the service provider or access provider.
XML Element:
<ProviderID>
Description:
A jurisdiction-specific code for, or the fully-qualified domain name of, the access network provider or service provider shown in the <DataProvidedBy> element that created the structure. NOTE: The value SHOULD be assigned by an organization appropriate for the jurisdiction. In the U.S., the provider's NENA Company ID MUST appear here. Additional information can be found at NENA Company Identifier Program or NENA Company ID. The NENA Company ID MUST be in the form of a URI in the following format: urn:nena:companyid:<NENA Company ID>. The value MAY be the fully-qualified domain name of the service provider or access provider.
Reason for Need:
Inform the call taker of the identity of the entity providing the data.
How Used by Call Taker:
Where jurisdictions have lists of providers the Data Provider ID provides useful information about the data source. The Data Provider ID uniquely identifies the source of the data, which might be needed especially during unusual circumstances and for routine logging.

4.1.3. Data Provider ID Series

Data Element:
Data Provider ID Series
Use:
Required.
XML Element:
<ProviderIDSeries>
Description:
Identifies the issuer of the <ProviderID>. The Provider ID Series Registry (see Section 10.1) initially contains the following valid entries:

Reason for Need:
Identifies how to interpret the Data Provider ID. The combination of ProviderIDSeries and ProviderID MUST be globally unique.
How Used by Call Taker:
Determines which provider ID registry to consult for more information

+------------------------------+------------------------------------+

Figure 1: Type of Data Provider Registry.

Data Element:
Type of Data Provider
Use:
Required.
XML Element:
<TypeOfProvider>
Description:
Identifies the type of data provider supplying the data. A registry with an initial set of values is shown in Figure 1 (see also Section 10.1).
Reason for Need:
Identifies the category of data provider.
How Used by Call Taker:
This information may be helpful when deciding whom to contact when further information is needed.

4.1.5. Data Provider Contact URI

Data Element:
Data Provider Contact URI
Use:
Required
XML Element:
<ContactURI>
Description:
When provided by a service provider or an access network provider, this information MUST be a URI to a 24/7 support organization tasked to provide PSAP support for this emergency call. If the call is from a device, this SHOULD be the contact information of the owner of the device. The Data Provider Contact URI SHOULD be a TEL URI [RFC3966] in E.164 format fully specified with country code. If a TEL URI is not available, it MAY be a generic SIP URI. Note that this contact information is not used by PSAPs for callbacks (a call from a PSAP directly related to a recently terminated emergency call, placed by the PSAP using a SIP Priority header field set to "psap-callback", as described in [RFC7090]).
Reason for Need:
Additional data providers may need to be contacted in error cases or other unusual circumstances.
How Used by Call Taker:
To contact the supplier of the additional data for assistance in handling the call.

4.1.6. Data Provider Languages(s) Supported

Data Element:
Data Provider Language(s) supported
Use:
Required.
XML Element:
<Language>
Description:
The language used by the entity at the Data Provider Contact URI, as an alpha 2-character code as defined in ISO 639-1:2002 Codes for the representation of names of languages -- Part 1: Alpha-2 code Multiple instances of this element may occur. Order is significant; preferred language should appear first. The content MUST reflect the languages supported at the contact URI.

Note that the 'language' media feature tag, defined in RFC 3840 [RFC3840] and the more extensive language negotiation mechanism proposed with [I-D.gellens-slim-negotiating-human-language] are independent of this data provider language indication.
Reason for Need:
This information indicates if the emergency service authority can directly communicate with the service provider or if an interpreter will be needed.
How Used by Call Taker:
If the call taker cannot speak any language supported by the service provider, a translation service will need to be added to the conversation. Alternatively, other persons at the PSAP, besides the call taker, might be consulted for help (depending on the urgency and the type of interaction).

4.1.7. xCard of Data Provider

Data Element:
xCard of Data Provider
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<DataProviderContact>
Description:
Per [RFC6351] the xcard structure is represented within a <vcard> element, which is a child element of a <vcards> element. The fact that a <vcard> element is contained within a <vcards> element structurally permits multiple <vcard> elements, however, only one <vcard> element SHOULD be provided. If more than one appears, the first SHOULD be used. There are many fields in the xCard and the creator of the data structure is encouraged to provide as much information as they have available. N, ORG, ADR, TEL, EMAIL are suggested at a minimum. N SHOULD contain the name of the support group or device owner as appropriate. If more than one TEL property is provided, a parameter from the vCard Property Value registry MUST be specified on each TEL. For encoding of the xCard this specification uses the XML-based encoding specified in [RFC6351], referred to in this document as "xCard".
Reason for Need:
Information needed to determine additional contact information.
How Used by Call Taker:
Assists the call taker by providing additional contact information aside from what may be included in the SIP INVITE or the PIDF-LO.

4.1.8. Subcontractor Principal

When the entity providing the data is a subcontractor, the Data Provider Type is set to that of the primary service provider and this entry is supplied to provide information regarding the subcontracting entity.

Data Element:
Subcontractor Principal
Use:
Conditional. This data is required if the entity providing the data is a subcontractor.
XML Element:
<SubcontratorPrincipal>
Description:
Some providers outsource their obligations to handle aspects of emergency services to specialized providers. If the data provider is a subcontractor to another provider this element contains the DataProviderString of the service provider to indicate which provider the subcontractor is working for.
Reason for Need:
Identify the entity the subcontractor works for.
How Used by Call Taker:
Allows the call taker to understand what the relationship between data providers and the service providers in the path of the call are.

4.1.9. Subcontractor Priority

Data Element:
Subcontractor Priority
Use:
Conditional. This element is required if the Data Provider type is set to "Subcontractor".
XML Element:
<SubcontractorPriority>
Description:
If the subcontractor has to be contacted first then this element MUST have the value "sub". If the provider the subcontractor is working for has to be contacted first then this element MUST have the value "main".
Reason for Need:
Inform the call taker whom to contact first, if support is needed.
How Used by Call Taker:
To decide which entity to contact first if assistance is needed.

4.2.1. Service Environment

Data Element:
Service Environment
Use:
Optional when a 'ServiceType' value is 'wireless'; required otherwise.
XML Element:
<ServiceEnvironment>
Description:
This element defines whether a call is from a business or residence caller. Currently, the only valid entries are 'Business', 'Residence', and 'unknown'. New values can be defined via the registry created in Figure 22.
Reason for Need:
To provide context and a hint when determining equipment and manpower requirements.
How Used by Call Taker:
Information may be used to provide context and a hint to assist in determining equipment and manpower requirements for emergency responders. Because there are cases where the service provider does not know (such as anonymous pre-paid service), and the type of service does not neccessarily reflect the nature of the premises (for example, a business line installed in a residence, or wireless service), and the registry is not all encompassing, therefore this is at best advisory information, but since it mimics a similar capability in some current emergency calling systems (e.g., a field in the Automatic Location Information (ALI) information used with legacy North American wireline systems), it is known to be valuable. The service provider uses its best information (such as a rate plan, facilities used to deliver service or service description) to determine the information and is not responsible for determining the actual characteristics of the location from which the call originated. Because the usefulness is unknown (and less clear) for wireless, this element is OPTIONAL for wireless and REQUIRED otherwise.

Figure 3: Service Delivered by Provider to End User Registry.

Data Element:
Service Delivered by Provider to End User
Use:
Required
XML Element:
<ServiceType>
Description:
This defines the type of service over which the call is placed. The implied mobility of this service cannot be relied upon. A registry with an initial set of values is defined in Figure 3.
Reason for Need:
Knowing the type of service may assist the PSAP with the handling of the call.
How Used by Call Taker:
Call takers often use this information to determine what kinds of questions to ask callers, and how much to rely on supportive information. An emergency call from a prison is treated differently than a call from a sensor device. As the information is not always available, and the registry is not all encompassing, this is at best advisory information, but since it mimics a similar capability in some current emergency calling systems, it is known to be valuable.

4.2.3. Service Mobility Environment

Data Element:
Service Mobility Environment
Use:
Required
XML Element:
<ServiceMobility>
Description:
This provides the service provider's view of the mobility of the caller's device. As the service provider may not know the characteristics of the actual device or access network used, the value MUST NOT be relied upon. The registry specified in Figure 23 reflects the following initial valid entries:
  • Mobile: the device is able to move at any time
  • Fixed: the device is not expected to move unless the service is relocated
  • Nomadic: the device is not expected to change its point of attachment while on a call
  • Unknown: no information is known about the service mobility environment for the device

Reason for Need:
Knowing the service provider's belief of mobility may assist the PSAP with the handling of the call.
How Used by Call Taker:
To determine whether to assume the location of the caller might change.

Figure 5: Device Classification Registry.

Data Element:
Device Classification
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<DeviceClassification>
Description:
This data element defines the kind of device making the emergency call. If the device provides the data structure, the device information SHOULD be provided. If the service provider provides the structure and it knows what the device is, the service provider SHOULD provide the device information. Often the carrier does not know what the device is. It is possible to receive two Additional Data Associated with a Call data structures, one created by the device and one created by the service provider. This information describes the device, not how it is being used. This data element defines the kind of device making the emergency call. The registry with the initial set of values is shown in Figure 5.
Reason for Need:
The device classification implies the capability of the calling device and assists in identifying the meaning of the emergency call location information that is being presented. For example, does the device require human intervention to initiate a call or is this call the result of programmed instructions? Does the calling device have the ability to update location or condition changes? Is this device interactive or a one-way reporting device?
How Used by Call Taker:
May provide the call taker context regarding the caller, the capabilities of the calling device or the environment in which the device is being used, and may assist in understanding the location information and capabilities of the calling device. For example, a cordless handset may be outside or next door.

4.3.2. Device Manufacturer

Data Element:
Device Manufacturer
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<DeviceMfgr>
Description:
The plain language name of the manufacturer of the device.
Reason for Need:
Used by PSAP management for post-mortem investigation/resolution.
How Used by Call Taker:
Probably not used by the calltaker, but by PSAP management.

4.3.3. Device Model Number

Data Element:
Device Model Number
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<DeviceModelNr>
Description:
Model number of the device.
Reason for Need:
Used by PSAP management for after action investigation/resolution.
How Used by Call Taker:
Probably not used by the calltaker, but by PSAP management.

4.3.4. Unique Device Identifier

   +--------+------------------------------------------+
   | Token  | Description                              |

   | MEID   | Mobile Equipment Identifier  (CDMA)      |
   | ESN    | Electronic Serial Number (GSM)           |
   | MAC    | Media Access Control Address (IEEE)      |
   | WiMAX  | Device Certificate Unique ID             |
   | IMEI   | International Mobile Equipment ID (GSM)  |

   +--------+------------------------------------------+

Figure 6: Registry with Device Identifier Types.

Data Element:
Unique Device Identifier
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<UniqueDeviceID>
XML Attribute:
<TypeOfDeviceID>
Description:
A string that identifies the specific device (or the device's current SIM) making the call or creating an event. Note that more than one <UniqueDeviceID> may be present, to supply more than one of the identifying values.
The <TypeOfDeviceID> attribute identifies the type of device identifier. A registry with an initial set of values can be seen in Figure 6.
Reason for Need:
Uniquely identifies the device (or, in the case of IMSI, a SIM), independent of any signaling identifiers present in the call signaling stream.
How Used by Call Taker:
Probably not used by the call taker; may be used by PSAP management during an investigation.
Example:
<UniqueDeviceID TypeOfDeviceID="SN">12345</UniqueDeviceID>

4.3.5. Device/Service Specific Additional Data Structure

Data Element:
Device/service specific additional data structure
Use:
Optional
XML Element:
<DeviceSpecificData>
Description:
A URI representing additional data whose schema is specific to the device or service which created it. (For example, a medical device or medical device monitoring service may have a defined set of medical data). The URI, when dereferenced, MUST yield a data structure defined by the Device/service specific additional data type value. Different data may be created by each classification; e.g., a medical device created data set.
Reason for Need:
Provides device/service specific data that may be used by the call taker and/or responders.
How Used by Call Taker:
Provide information to guide call takers to select appropriate responders, give appropriate pre-arrival instructions to callers, and advise responders of what to be prepared for. May be used by responders to guide assistance provided.

4.3.6. Device/Service Specific Additional Data Structure Type

Data Element:
Type of device/service specific additional data structure
Use:
Conditional. MUST be provided when device/service specific additional URI is provided
XML Element:
<DeviceSpecificType>
Description:
Value from a registry defined by this document to describe the type of data that can be retrieved from the device/service specific additional data structure. Initial values are:
  • IEEE 1512

IEEE 1512 is the USDoT model for traffic incidents.

Reason for Need:
This data element allows identification of externally defined schemas, which may have additional data that may assist in emergency response.
How Used by Call Taker:
This data element allows the end user (calltaker or first responder) to know what type of additional data may be available to aid in providing the needed emergency services.
Note:
Information which is specific to a location or a caller (person) should not be placed in this section.

4.3.7. Issues with getting new types of data into use

This document describes two mechanisms which allow extension of the kind of data provided with an emergency call: define a new block or define a new service specific additional data URL for the DeviceInfo block. While defining new data types and getting a new device or application to send the new data may be easy, getting PSAPs and responders to actually retrieve the data and use it will be difficult. New mechanism providers should understand that acquiring and using new forms of data usually require software upgrades at the PSAP and/or responders, as well as training of call takers and responders in how to interpret and use the information. Legal and operational review may also be needed. Overwhelming a call taker or responder with too much information is highly discouraged. Thus, the barrier to supporting new data is quite high.

The mechanisms this document describes are meant to encourage development of widely supported, common data formats for classes of devices. If all manufacturers of a class of device use the same format, and the data can be shown to improve outcomes, then PSAPs and responders may be encouraged to upgrade their systems and train their staff to use the data. Variations, however well intentioned, are unlikely to be supported.

Implementers should consider that data from sensor-based devices in some cases may not be useful to call takers or PSAPs (and privacy or other considerations may preclude the PSAP from touching the data), but may be of use to responders. Some standards being developed by other organizations to carry data from the PSAP to responders are designed to carry all additional data supplied in the call that conform to this document, even if the PSAP does not fetch or interpret the data. This allows responders to get the data even if the PSAP does not.

4.3.8. Choosing between defining a new type of block or new type of device/service specific additional data

For devices that have device or service specific data, there are two choices to carry it. A new block can be defined, or the device/service specific additional data URL the DeviceInfo block can be used and a new type for it defined . The data passed would likely be the same in both cases. Considerations for choosing which mechanism to register under include:

Applicability:
Information which will be carried by many kinds of devices or services are more appropriately defined as separate blocks.
Privacy:
Information which may contain private data may be better sent in the DeviceInfo block, rather than a new block so that implementations are not tempted to send the data by value, and thus having more exposure to the data than forcing the data to be retrieved via the URL in DeviceInfo.
Size:
Information which may be very large may be better sent in the DeviceInfo block, rather than a new block so that implementations are not tempted to send the data by value. Conversely, data which is small may best be sent in a separate block so that it can be sent by value
Availability of a server:
Providing the data via the device block requires a server be made available to retrieve the data. Providing the data via new block allows it to be sent by value (CID).

Figure 7: EmergencyCallData.DeviceInfo Example.

4.4. Owner/Subscriber Information

This block describes the owner of the device (if provided by the device) or the subscriber information (if provided by a service provider). The contact location is not necessarily the location of the caller or incident, but is rather the nominal contact address. The MIME type is "application/EmergencyCallData.SubscriberInfo+xml".

In some jurisdictions some or all parts of the subscriber-specific information are subject to privacy constraints. These constraints vary but dictate what information can be displayed and logged. A general privacy indicator expressing a desire for privacy is provided. The interpretation of how this is applied is left to the receiving jurisdiction as the custodians of the local regulatory requirements.

4.4.1. Subscriber Data Privacy Indicator

Attribute:
privacyRequested, boolean.
Use:
Conditional. This attribute MUST be provided if the owner/subscriber information block is not empty.
Description:
The subscriber data privacy indicator specifically expresses the subscriber's desire for privacy. In some jurisdictions subscriber services can have a specific "Type of Service" which prohibits information, such as the name of the subscriber, from being displayed. This attribute should be used to explicitly indicate whether the subscriber service includes such constraints.
Reason for Need:
Some jurisdictions require subscriber privacy to be observed when processing emergency calls.
How Used by Call Taker:
Where privacy is indicated the call taker may not have access to some aspects of the subscriber information.

4.4.2. xCard for Subscriber's Data

Data Element:
xCARD for Subscriber's Data
Use:
Conditional. Subscriber data is provided unless it is not available. Some services, for example prepaid phones, non-initialized phones, etc., do not have information about the subscriber.
XML Element:
<SubscriberData>
Description:
Information known by the service provider or device about the subscriber; e.g., Name, Address, Individual Telephone Number, Main Telephone Number and any other data. N, ORG (if appropriate), ADR, TEL, EMAIL are suggested at a minimum. If more than one TEL property is provided, a parameter from the vCard Property Value registry MUST be specified on each TEL.
Reason for Need:
When the caller is unable to provide information, this data may be used to obtain it
How Used by Call Taker:
Obtaining critical information about the caller and possibly the location when it is not able to be obtained otherwise.

5. Data Transport Mechanisms

This section defines how to convey additional data to an emergency service provider. Two different means are specified: the first uses the call signaling; the second uses the <provided-by> element of a PIDF-LO [RFC4119].

  1. First, the ability to embed a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in an existing SIP header field, the Call-Info header, is defined. The URI points to the additional data structure. The Call-Info header is specified in Section 20.9 of [RFC3261]. This document adds a new compound token starting with the value 'EmergencyCallData' for the Call-Info "purpose" parameter. If the "purpose" parameter is set to a value starting with 'EmergencyCallData', then the Call-Info header contains either an HTTPS URL pointing to an external resource or a CID (content indirection) URI that allows the data structure to be placed in the body of the SIP message. The "purpose" parameter also indicates the kind of data (by its MIME type) that is available at the URI. As the data is conveyed using a URI in the SIP signaling, the data itself may reside on an external resource, or may be contained within the body of the SIP message. When the URI refers to data at an external resource, the data is said to be passed by reference. When the URI refers to data contained within the body of the SIP message, the data is said to be passed by value. A PSAP or emergency responder is able to examine the type of data provided and selectively inspect the data it is interested in, while forwarding all of it (the values or references) to downstream entities. To be conveyed in a SIP body, additional data about a call is defined as a series of MIME objects. Each block defined in this document is an XML data structure identified by its MIME type. (Blocks defined by others may be encoded in XML or not, as identified by their MIME registration.) As usual, whenever more than one MIME part is included in the body of a message, MIME-multipart (i.e., 'multipart/mixed') encloses them all. This document defines a set of XML schemas and MIME types used for each block defined here. When additional data is passed by value in the SIP signaling, each CID URL points to one block in the body. Multiple URIs are used within a Call-Info header field (or multiple Call-Info header fields) to point to multiple blocks. When additional data is provided by reference (in SIP signaling or provided-by), each HTTPS URL references one block; the data is retrieved with an HTTPS GET operation, which returns one of the blocks as an object (the blocks defined here are returned as XML objects).
  2. Second, the ability to embed additional data structures in the <provided-by> element of a PIDF-LO [RFC4119] is defined. In addition to service providers in the call path, the access network provider may also have similar information that may be valuable to the PSAP. The access network provider MAY provide location in the form of a PIDF-LO from a location server via a location configuration protocol. The data structures described in this document are not specific to the location itself, but rather provides descriptive information having to do with the immediate circumstances about the provision of the location (who the access network is, how to contact that entity, what kind of service the access network provides, subscriber information, etc.). This data is similar in nearly every respect to the data known by service providers in the path of the call. When the access network provider and service provider are separate entities, the access network does not participate in the application layer signaling (and hence cannot add a Call-Info header field to the SIP message), but may provide location information in a PIDF-LO object to assist in locating the caller's device. The <provided-by> element of the PIDF-LO is a mechanism for the access network provider to supply the information about the entity or organization that supplied this location information. For this reason, this document describes a namespace per RFC 4119 for inclusion in the <provided-by> element of a PIDF-LO for adding information known to the access network provider. The access network provider SHOULD provide additional data within a provided-by element of a PDIF-LO it returns for emergency use (e.g., if requested with a HELD "responseTime" attribute of "emergencyRouting" or "emergencyDispatch" [RFC5985]).

One or more blocks of data registered in the Emergency Call Additional Data registry, as defined in Section 10.1, may be included or referenced in the SIP signaling (using the Call-Info header field) or in the <provided-by> element of a PIDF-LO. Every block must be one of the types in the registry. Since the data of an emergency call may come from multiple sources, the data itself needs information describing the source. Consequently, each entity adding additional data MUST supply the "Data Provider" block. All other blocks are optional, but each entity SHOULD supply any blocks where it has at least some of the information in the block.

5.1. Transmitting Blocks using the Call-Info Header

A URI to a block MAY be inserted in a SIP request or response method (most often INVITE or MESSAGE) with a Call-Info header field containing a purpose value starting with 'EmergencyCallData' and the type of data available at the URI. The type of data is denoted by including the root of the MIME type (not including the 'EmergencyCallData' prefix and any suffix such as '+xml') with a '.' separator. For example, when referencing a block with MIME type 'application/EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo+xml', the 'purpose' parameter is set to 'EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo'. An example "Call-Info" header field for this would be:

Call-Info:
https://www.example.com/23sedde3; purpose="EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo"

A Call-info header with a purpose value starting with 'EmergencyCallData' MUST only be sent on an emergency call, which can be ascertained by the presence of an emergency service urn in a Route header of a SIP message.

If the data is provided by reference, an HTTPS URI MUST be included and consequently Transport Layer Security (TLS) protection is applied for protecting the retrieval of the information.

The data may also be supplied by value in a SIP message. In this case, Content Indirection (CID) [RFC2392] is used, with the CID URL referencing the MIME body part.

More than one Call-Info header with a purpose value starting with 'EmergencyCallData' can be expected, but at least one MUST be provided. The device MUST provide one if it knows no service provider is in the path of the call. The device MAY insert one if it uses a service provider. Any service provider in the path of the call MUST insert its own. For example, a device, a telematics service provider in the call path, as well as the mobile carrier handling the call will each provide one. There may be circumstances where there is a service provider who is unaware that the call is an emergency call and cannot reasonably be expected to determine that it is an emergency call. In that case, that service provider is not expected to provide EmergencyCallData.

5.2. Transmitting Blocks by Reference using the provided-by Element

The 'EmergencyCallDataReference' element is used to transmit an additional data block by reference within a 'provided-by' element of a PIDF-LO. The 'EmergencyCallDataReference' element has two attributes: 'ref' to specify the URL, and 'purpose' to indicate the type of data block referenced. The value of 'ref' is an HTTPS URL that resolves to a data structure with information about the call. The value of 'purpose' is the same as used in a 'Call-Info' header field (as specified in Section 5.1).

For example, to reference a block with MIME type 'application/EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo+xml', the 'purpose' parameter is set to 'EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo'. An example 'EmergencyCallDataReference' element for this would be:

  • <EmergencyCallDataReference ref="https://www.example.com/23sedde3" purpose="EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo"/>

The 'EmergencyCallDataReference' element transmits one additional data block; multiple additional data blocks may be transmitted by using multiple 'EmergencyCallDataReference' elements.

5.3. Transmitting Blocks by Value using the provided-by Element

It is RECOMMENDED that access networks supply the data specified in this document by reference, but they MAY provide the data by value.

The 'EmergencyCallDataValue' element is used to transmit one or more additional data blocks by value within a 'provided-by' element of a PIDF-LO. Each block being transmitted is placed (as a child element) inside the 'EmergencyCallDataValue' element. (The same XML structure as would be contained in the corresponding MIME type body part is placed inside the 'EmergencyCallDataValue' element.)

5.4. The Content-Disposition Parameter

RFC 5621 [RFC5621] discusses the handling of message bodies in SIP. It updates and clarifies handling originally defined in RFC 3261 [RFC3261] based on implementation experience. While RFC 3261 did not mandate support for 'multipart' message bodies, 'multipart/mixed' MIME bodies are used by many extensions (including this document) today. For example, adding a PIDF-LO, SDP, and additional data in body of a SIP message requires a 'multipart' message body.

RFC 3204 [RFC3204] and RFC 3459 [RFC3459] define the 'handling' parameter for the Content-Disposition header field. These RFCs describe how a UAS reacts if it receives a message body whose content type or disposition type it does not understand. If the 'handling' parameter has the value "optional", the UAS ignores the message body. If the 'handling' parameter has the value "required", the UAS returns a 415 (Unsupported Media Type) response. The 'by-reference' disposition type allows a SIP message to contain a reference to the body part, and the SIP UA processes the body part according to the reference. This is the case for the Call-info header containing a Content Indirection (CID) URL.

Figure 12: End Device sending SIP INVITE with Additional Data.

In this example, information available to the access network provider is included in the call setup message only indirectly via the use of the location reference. The PSAP has to retrieve it via a separate look-up step. Since the access network provider and the VoIP service provider are two independent entities in this scenario, the access network provider is not involved in application layer exchanges; the SIP INVITE transits the access network transparently, as illustrated in steps #1 and #2. The access network does not alter the SIP INVITE.

The VoIP service provider receives the message and determines based on the Service URN that the incoming request is an emergency call. It performs typical emergency services related tasks, including location-based routing, and adds additional data, namely service and subscriber information as well as data provider information #2, to the outgoing message. For the example we assume a VoIP service provider that deploys a back-to-back user agent allowing additional data to be included in the body of the SIP message (rather than per reference in the header), which allows us to illustrate the use of multiple data provider info blocks. The resulting message is shown in Figure 13. The SIP INVITE is sent to the PSAP in step #3.

8. Security Considerations

The data structures described in this document contain information usually considered private. When information is provided by value, entities that are a party to the SIP signaling (such as proxy servers and back-to-back user agents) will have access to it and need to protect it against inappropriate disclosure. An entity that is able to eavesdrop on the SIP signaling will also have access. Some media (such as in the clear Wi-Fi) is more vulnerable than others (such as 3G or 4G cellular data traffic) to eavesdropping. Mechanisms that protect against eavesdropping (such as Transport Layer Security (TLS)) SHOULD be preferentially used whenever feasible. When information is provided by reference, HTTPS is specified for dereferencing, and the provider of the information is REQUIRED to validate the credentials of the requester. While the creation of a public key infrastructure (PKI) that has global scope may be difficult, the alternatives to creating devices and services that can provide critical information securely are more daunting. The provider of the information MAY enforce any policy it wishes to use, but PSAPs and responder agencies SHOULD deploy a PKI so that providers of additional data can check the certificate of the client and decide the appropriate policy to enforce based on that certificate.

Ideally, the PSAP and emergency responders will be given credentials signed by an authority trusted by the data provider. In most circumstances, nationally recognized credentials would be sufficient, and if the emergency services arranges a PKI, data providers could be provisioned with the root CA public key for a given nation. Some nations are developing a PKI for this, and related, purposes. Since calls could be made from devices where the device and/or the service provider(s) are not local to the emergency services authorities, globally recognized credentials are useful. This might be accomplished by extending the notion of the "forest guide" described in [RFC5582] to allow the forest guide to provide the credential of the PKI root for areas for which it has coverage information, but standards for such a mechanism are not yet available. In its absence, the data provider will need to obtain by out of band means the root CA credentials for any areas to which it is willing to provide additional data. With the credential of the root CA for a national emergency services PKI, the data provider server can validate the credentials of an entity requesting additional data by reference.

The data provider also needs a credential that can be verified by the emergency services to know that it is receiving data from an authorized server. The emergency services authorities could provide credentials, distinguishable from credentials provided to emergency responders and PSAPs, which could be used to validate data providers. Such credentials would have to be acceptable to any PSAP or responder that could receive a call with additional data supplied by that provider. This would be extensible to global credential validation using the forest guide as mentioned above. In the absence of such credentials, the emergency services authorities could maintain a list of local data providers' credentials as provided to them out of band. At a minimum, the emergency services authorities could obtain a credential from the DNS entry of the domain in the Additional Data URI to at least validate that the server is known to the domain providing the URI.

Data provided by devices by reference have similar credential validation issues as for service providers, and the solutions are the same.

Much of the information supplied by service providers and devices is private and confidential; service providers and devices generally go to lengths to protect this information; disclosing it in the context of an emergency call is a trade-off to protect the greater interest of the customer in an emergency.

Neither service providers nor devices will supply private information unless the call is recognized as an emergency call. In cellular telephony systems (such as those using 3GPP IMS), there are different procedures for an originating device to place an emergency versus a normal call. If a call that is really an emergency call is initiated as a normal call and the cellular service provider recognizes this, 3GPP IMS permits the service provider to either accept the call anyway or reject it with a specific code that instructs the device to retry the call as an emergency call. Service providers SHOULD choose the latter, because otherwise the device will not have included the information specified in this document (since the device didn't recognize the call as being an emergency call).

9. Privacy Considerations

This document enables functionality for conveying additional information about the caller and the caller's device and service to the callee. Some of this information is personal data and therefore privacy concerns arise. An explicit privacy indicator for information directly relating to the caller's identity is defined and use is mandatory. However, observance of this request for privacy and what information it relates to is determined by the destination jurisdiction.

There are a number of privacy concerns with non-emergency real-time communication services that are also applicable to emergency calling. Data protection regulation world-wide has, however, decided to create exceptions for emergency services since the drawbacks of disclosing personal data are outweighed by the benefit for the emergency caller. Hence, the data protection rights of individuals are commonly waived for emergency situations. There are, however, still various countries that offer some degree of anonymity for the caller towards PSAP call takers.

The functionality defined in this document, however, far exceeds the amount of information sharing found in the legacy POTS system. For this reason there are additional privacy threats to consider, which are described in more detail in [RFC6973].

Stored Data Compromise:
There is an increased risk of stored data compromise since additional data is collected and stored in databases. Without adequate measures to secure stored data from unauthorized or inappropriate access at access network providers, service providers, end devices, as well as PSAPs, individuals are exposed to potential financial, reputational, or physical harm.
Misattribution:
If the personal data collected and conveyed is incorrect or inaccurate then this may lead to misattribution. Misattribution occurs when data or communications related to one individual are attributed to another.
Identification:
By the nature of the additional data and its capability to provide much richer information about the caller, the call, and the location, the calling party is identified in a much better way. Some users may feel uncomfortable with this degree of information sharing even in emergency services situations.
Secondary Use:
There is a risk of secondary use, which is the use of collected information about an individual without the individual's consent for a purpose different from that for which the information was collected. The stated purpose of the additional data is for emergency services purposes but theoretically the same information could be used for any other call as well. Additionally, parties involved in the emergency call may retain the obtained information and may re-use it for other, non-emergency services purposes.
Disclosure:
When the data defined in this document is not properly protected (while in transit with traditional communication security techniques, and while stored using access control mechanisms) there is the risk of disclosure, which is the revelation of private information about an individual.

To mitigate these privacy risks the following countermeasures can be taken:

In regions where callers can elect to suppress certain personally identifying information, network or PSAP functionality can inspect privacy flags within the SIP headers to determine what information may be passed, stored, or displayed to comply with local policy or law. RFC 3325 [RFC3325] defines the "id" priv-value token. The presence of this privacy type in a Privacy header field indicates that the user would like the network asserted identity to be kept private with respect to SIP entities outside the trust domain with which the user authenticated, including the PSAP.

This document defines various data structures that contain privacy-sensitive data. For example, identifiers for the device (e.g., serial number, MAC address) or account/SIM (e.g., IMSI), contact information for the user, location of the caller. Local regulations may govern what data must be provided in emergency calls, but in general, the emergency call system is aided by the information described in this document. There is a tradeoff between the privacy considerations and the utility of the data. For protection, this specification requires all retrieval of data passed by reference to be protected against eavesdropping and alteration via communication security techniques (namely TLS). Furthermore, security safeguards are required to prevent unauthorized access to stored data. Various security incidents over at least the past few decades have shown that data breaches are not uncommon and are often caused by lack of proper access control frameworks, software bugs (such as buffer overflows), or missing input parsing (such as SQL injection attacks). The risks of data breaches is increased with the obligation for emergency services to retain emergency call related data for extended periods (e.g., several years are the norm).

Finally, it is also worth highlighting the nature of the SIP communication architecture, which introduces additional complications for privacy. Some forms of data can be sent by value in the SIP signaling or by reference (a URL in the SIP signaling). When data is sent by value, all intermediaries have access to the data. As such, these intermediaries may also introduce additional privacy risk. Therefore, in situations where the conveyed information is privacy-sensitive and intermediaries are involved, transmitting by reference might be appropriate, assuming the source of the data can operate a sufficient dereferencing infrastructure and that proper access control policies are available for distinguishing the different entities dereferencing the reference. Without access control policies any party in possession of the reference is able to resolve the reference and to obtain the data, including intermediaries.

This document registers a new value in the vCARD Parameter Values registry as defined by [RFC6350] with the following template:

Value:
main
Purpose:
The main telephone number, typically of an enterprise, as opposed to a direct dial number of an individual employee
Conformance:
This value can be used with the "TYPE" parameter applied on the "TEL" property.
Example(s):
TEL;VALUE=uri;TYPE="main,voice";PREF=1:tel:+1-418-656-9000
