Next-Generation Pan-European eCall
draft-ietf-ecrit-ecall-27.txt

Abstract

This document describes how to use IP-based emergency services
mechanisms to support the next generation of the pan European in-
vehicle Pan-European
in-vehicle emergency call service defined under the eSafety
initiative of the European Commission (generally referred to as
"eCall"). eCall is a standardized and mandated system for a special
form of emergency calls placed by vehicles, providing real-time
communications and an integrated set of related data.

This document also registers MIME media types and an Emergency Call
Additional
Data Block Type for the eCall vehicle data and metadata/control data, and
an INFO package to enable carrying this data in SIP INFO requests.

Although this specification is designed to meet the requirements of
European
next-generation eCall, Pan-European eCall (NG-eCall), it is specified
generically such that the technology can be re-used reused or extended to
suit requirements across jurisdictions.

1. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are a European Parliament decision requiring the
implementation of a compliant in-vehicle system (IVS) in new vehicles
and the deployment of eCall in the European Member States in the very
near future. Other regions are developing eCall-compatible systems.

The Pan-European eCall system is a standardized and mandated
mechanism for emergency calls by vehicles, providing a voice channel
and transmission of data. eCall establishes procedures for such
calls to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

This document re-uses terminology defined in Section 3 of [RFC5012].

Additionally, we use placed by in-vehicle systems, recognized and processed by
the following abbreviations:

2. Document Scope

This document is focused on (PSAP) where the signaling, vehicle data exchange, is available to assist
the call taker in assessing and
protocol needs of next-generation eCall (NG-eCall, also referred responding to
as packet-switched the situation. eCall
provides a standard set of vehicle, sensor (e.g., crash-related), and
location data.

An eCall can be either user initiated or all-IP eCall) within the SIP framework automatically triggered.
Automatically triggered eCalls indicate a car crash or some other
serious incident. Manually triggered eCalls might be reports of
witnessed crashes or serious hazards, a request for emergency calls (as described in [RFC6443] medical
assistance, etc. PSAPs might apply specific operational handling to
manual and [RFC6881]). automatic eCalls.

Legacy eCall
itself is specified by standardized (by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) [SDO-3GPP] and
CEN (European the European
Committee for Standardization) and these specifications
include far greater scope than is covered here.

The eCall service operates over cellular wireless communication, but
this document does not address cellular-specific details, nor client
domain selection (e.g., Standardization (CEN) [CEN]) as a 3GPP circuit-switched versus packet-switched).
All such aspects are
call over Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) (2G) or
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (3G). Flags in the purview of their respective standards
bodies.
call setup mark the call as an eCall and further indicate if the call
was automatically or manually triggered. The scope of this document call is limited routed to eCall operating
within an
eCall-capable PSAP, a SIP-based environment (e.g., 3GPP IMS Emergency Calling
[TS23.167]).

Although this specification voice channel is designed to meet established between the requirements of
pan-European next-generation eCall, it is specified generically such
that
vehicle and the technology can be re-used or extended to suit requirements
across jurisdictions (see, e.g., [I-D.ietf-ecrit-car-crash]), PSAP, and
extension points are provided to facilitate this.

Note that vehicles designed for multiple regions might need to
support an eCall and other Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN)
systems (such as described in [I-D.ietf-ecrit-car-crash]), but this in-band modem is out of scope used to carry a
defined set of this document.

3. Introduction

Emergency calls made from vehicles vehicle, sensor (e.g., in the event of a crash)
assist in significantly reducing road deaths crash-related), and injuries by allowing
emergency services to be aware of the incident, the state location
data (the Minimum Set of Data or MSD) within the
vehicle, voice channel. The
same in-band mechanism is used for the location PSAP to acknowledge successful
receipt of the vehicle, MSD and to have a voice channel
with request the vehicle occupants. This enables to send a quick and appropriate
response.

The European Commission initiative new MSD
(e.g., to check if the state of or location of eCall was conceived in the late
1990s, and vehicle or its
occupants has evolved changed). NG-eCall moves from circuit switched to a European Parliament decision requiring
the implementation of a compliant in-vehicle system (IVS) in new
vehicles
all-IP and carries the deployment of vehicle data and eCall in the European Member States in signaling as additional
data carried with the very near future. Other regions are developing eCall-compatible
systems.

The pan-European eCall system is a standardized and mandated
mechanism call. This document describes how IETF
mechanisms for IP-based emergency calls by vehicles, providing a voice channel (including [RFC6443] and transmission of data. eCall establishes procedures for such
calls
[RFC7852]) are used to be placed by in-vehicle systems, recognized and processed by provide the mobile network, and routed to a specialized PSAP where the
vehicle data is available to assist the call taker in assessing and
responding to the situation. eCall provides a standard set of
vehicle, sensor (e.g., crash related), and location data.

An eCall can be either user-initiated or automatically triggered.
Automatically triggered eCalls indicate a car crash or some other
serious incident. Manually triggered eCalls might be reports of
witnessed crashes or serious hazards. PSAPs might apply specific
operational handling to manual and automatic eCalls.

Legacy eCall is standardized (by 3GPP [SDO-3GPP] and CEN [CEN]) as a
3GPP circuit-switched call over GSM (2G) or UMTS (3G). Flags in the
call setup mark the call as an eCall, and further indicate if the
call was automatically or manually triggered. The call is routed to
an eCall-capable PSAP, a voice channel is established between the
vehicle and the PSAP, and an eCall in-band modem is used to carry a
defined set of vehicle, sensor (e.g., crash related), and location
data (the Minimum Set of Data or MSD) within the voice channel. The
same in-band mechanism is used for the PSAP to acknowledge successful
receipt of the MSD, and to request the vehicle to send a new MSD
(e.g., to check if the state of or location of the vehicle or its
occupants has changed). NG-eCall moves from circuit switched to all-
IP, and carries the vehicle data and eCall signaling as additional
data carried with the call. This document describes how IETF
mechanisms for IP-based emergency calls (including [RFC6443] and
[RFC7852]) are used to provide the signaling signaling and data exchange of the
next generation of pan-European Pan-European eCall.

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) [SDO-ETSI]
has published a Technical Report titled "Mobile Standards Group
(MSG); eCall for VoIP" [MSG_TR] that presents findings and
recommendations regarding support for eCall in an all-IP environment.
The recommendations include the use of 3GPP IMS Internet Multimedia
System (IMS) emergency calling with additional elements identifying
the call as an eCall and as carrying eCall data and with mechanisms for
carrying the data and eCall signaling. 3GPP IMS emergency services
support multimedia, providing the ability to carry voice, text, and
video. This capability is referred to within 3GPP as Multimedia
Emergency Services (MMES).

A transition period will exist during which time the various entities
involved in initiating and handling an eCall might support next-
generation eCall, NG-eCall,
legacy eCall, or both. The issues of migration and co-existence
during the transition period are outside the scope of this document.

This document indicates how to use IP-based emergency services
mechanisms to support next-generation eCall. NG-eCall.

This document also registers MIME media types and an Emergency Call
Additional Data Block
Types for the eCall vehicle data (MSD) and metadata/
control metadata/control data, and
an INFO package to enable carrying this data in SIP INFO requests.

The MSD is carried in the MIME type 'application/
emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD' application/
EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD and the metadata/control block is carried
in the MIME type 'application/emergencyCallData.control+xml' application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml (both of
which are registered in Section 14). An INFO package is defined (in
Section 14.9) to enable these MIME types to be carried in SIP INFO
requests, per [RFC6086].

4. eCall Requirements

eCall requirements are specified by CEN in [EN_16072]

2. Terminology

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and by 3GPP "OPTIONAL" in
[TS22.101] clauses 10.7 and A.27 and [TS24.229] section 4.7.6.
Requirements specific to vehicle data this
document are contained to be interpreted as described in EN 15722
[msd].

5. Vehicle Data

Pan-European eCall provides a standardized and mandated set of
vehicle related data (including VIN, vehicle type, propulsion type,
current and optionally previous location coordinates, and number [RFC2119].

This document reuses terminology defined in Section 3 of
occupants), known as [RFC5012].

Additionally, we use the Minimum Set of Data (MSD). The following abbreviations:

3GPP: 3rd Generation Partnership Project

CEN: European Committee for Standardization (CEN) has specified this data in EN
15722 [msd], along with both ASN.1 and XML encodings. Both circuit-
switched eCall and this document use the ASN.1 PER encoding, which is
specified in Annex A

EENA: European Emergency Number Association

ESInet: Emergency Services IP network

IMS: IP Multimedia Subsystem

IVS: In-Vehicle System

MNO: Mobile Network Operator

MSD: Minimum Set of EN 15722 [msd] (the XML encoding specified in
Annex C is not used in this document, per 3GPP [SDO-3GPP]). Data

PSAP: Public Safety Answering Point

3. Document Scope

This document registers the 'application/emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD'
MIME media type to enable the MSD to be carried in SIP. As an ASN.1
PER encoded object, is focused on the signaling, data is binary exchange, and transported using binary
content transfer encoding within SIP messages. This document also
adds the 'eCall.MSD' entry to the Emergency Call Additional Data
Types registry to enable the MSD
protocol needs of NG-eCall (also referred to be recognized as such in a SIP-
based packet-switched eCall emergency call. (See [RFC7852] for more information
about
or all-IP eCall) within the registry SIP framework for emergency calls (as
described in [RFC6443] and how it [RFC6881]). eCall itself is used.)

See Section 6 for a discussion of how the MSD vehicle data specified by
3GPP and CEN, and these specifications include far greater scope than
is
conveyed in an NG-eCall.

6. Data Transport

[RFC7852] establishes a general mechanism for conveying blocks of
data within a SIP emergency call. This covered here.

The eCall service operates over cellular wireless communication, but
this document makes use does not address cellular-specific details, nor client
domain selection (e.g., circuit-switched versus packet-switched).
All such aspects are the purview of that
mechanism to include vehicle data (the MSD, see Section 5) and/or
metadata/control information (see Section 9) within SIP messages.
This their respective standards
bodies. The scope of this document also registers an INFO package (in Section 14.9) is limited to
enable eCall related data blocks operating
within a SIP-based environment (e.g., 3GPP IMS Emergency Calling
[TS23.167]).

Although this specification is designed to be carried in SIP INFO requests
(per [RFC6086], new INFO usages require meet the definition requirements of an INFO
package).

Note
Pan-European NG-eCall, it is specified generically such that if other data sets need to be transmitted in the future, the appropriate signalling mechanism
technology can be reused or extended to suit requirements across
jurisdictions (see, e.g., [RFC8148]), and extension points are
provided to facilitate this.

Note that vehicles designed for such data needs multiple regions might need to be
evaluated, including factors such as the size
support eCall and frequency of such
data.

An In-Vehicle System (IVS) transmits an MSD (see Section 5) other Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN)
systems (such as described in [RFC8148]), but this is out of scope of
this document.

4. eCall Requirements

eCall requirements are specified by
encoding it per CEN in [EN_16072] and by 3GPP in
[TS22.101], Section 10.7 and Annex A of A.27, and [TS24.229],
Section 4.7.6. Requirements specific to vehicle data are contained
in EN 15722 [msd], [MSD].

5. Vehicle Data

Pan-European eCall provides a standardized and including it mandated set of
vehicle-related data (including VIN, vehicle type, propulsion type,
current and optionally previous location coordinates, and the number
of occupants) known as a MIME
body part within a SIP message per [RFC7852]. The body part is
identified by its MIME media type ('application/
emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD') in the Content-Type header field Minimum Set of Data (MSD). CEN has
specified this data in EN 15722 [MSD], along with both ASN.1 and XML
encodings. Both circuit-switched eCall and this document use the
body part. The body part is assigned a unique identifier
ASN.1 PER encoding, which is
listed specified in a Content-ID header field Annex A of EN 15722 [MSD]
(the XML encoding specified in the body part. The SIP
message Annex C is marked as containing the MSD by adding (or appending to) a
Call-Info header field at the top level of the SIP message. This
Call-Info header field contains a CID URL referencing the body part's
unique identifier, and a 'purpose' parameter identifying the data as
the eCall MSD not used in this document,
per 3GPP [SDO-3GPP]).

This document registers the Emergency Call Additional Data Types registry
entry; application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD
MIME media type to enable the 'purpose' parameter's value is
'emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD'. Per [RFC6086], an MSD is to be carried in a
SIP INFO request by SIP. As an ASN.1
PER-encoded object, the data is binary and transported using binary
content transfer encoding within SIP messages. This document also
adds "eCall.MSD" to the INFO package defined "Emergency Call Data Types" registry to
enable the MSD to be recognized as such in a SIP-based eCall
emergency call. (See [RFC7852] for more information about the
registry and how it is used.)

See Section 14.9.

A PSAP or IVS transmits 6 for a discussion of how the MSD vehicle data is
conveyed in an NG-eCall.

6. Data Transport

[RFC7852] establishes a general mechanism for conveying blocks of
data within a SIP emergency call. This document makes use of that
mechanism to include vehicle data (the MSD; see Section 5) and
metadata/control object information (see Section 9) within SIP messages.
This document also registers an INFO package (in Section 14.9) to
enable eCall-related data blocks to be carried in SIP INFO requests
(per [RFC6086], new INFO usages require the definition of an INFO
package).

Note that if other data sets need to be transmitted in the future,
the appropriate signaling mechanism for such data needs to be
evaluated, including factors such as the size and frequency of such
data.

An IVS transmits an MSD (see Section 5) by encoding it per the description in this document, Annex A of
EN 15722 [MSD] and including it
within a SIP message as a MIME body part within a SIP
message per [RFC7852]. The body part is identified by its MIME media
type ('application/
emergencyCallData.control+xml') (application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD) in the Content-Type
header field of the body part. The body part is assigned a unique
identifier which that is listed in a Content-ID header field in the body
part. The SIP message is marked as containing the metadata/control object MSD by adding (or
appending to) a Call-Info header field at the top level of the SIP
message. This Call-Info header field contains a CID Content Identifier
(CID) URL referencing the body part's unique identifier, identifier and a 'purpose'
"purpose" parameter identifying the data as an the eCall metadata/control block MSD per the Emergency
entry in the "Emergency Call Additional Data Types registry entry; Types" registry; the
'purpose' "purpose"
parameter's value is 'emergencyCallData.control'. "EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD". Per [RFC6086], a metadata/control object
an MSD is carried in a SIP INFO request by using the INFO package
defined in Section 14.9.

An MSD

A PSAP or IVS transmits a metadata/control block is always enclosed in a multipart
body part (even if object (see Section 9) by
encoding it per the description in this document and including it
within a SIP message as a MIME body part per [RFC7852]. The body
part is identified by its MIME media type (application/
EmergencyCallData.Control+xml) in the Content-Type header field of
the body part. The body part is assigned a unique identifier, which
is listed in a Content-ID header field in the body part. The SIP
message is marked as containing the metadata/control object by adding
(or appending to) a Call-Info header field at the top level of the
SIP message. This Call-Info header field contains a CID URL
referencing the body part's unique identifier and a "purpose"
parameter identifying the data as an eCall metadata/control block per
the entry in the "Emergency Call Data Types" registry; the "purpose"
parameter's value is "EmergencyCallData.Control". Per [RFC6086], a
metadata/control object is carried in a SIP INFO request by using the
INFO package defined in Section 14.9.

An MSD or a metadata/control block is always enclosed in a multipart
body part (even if it would otherwise be the only body part in the
SIP message).

A body part containing an MSD or metadata/control object has a
Content-Disposition header field value containing "By-Reference".

An In-Vehicle System (IVS) IVS initiating an NG-eCall includes an MSD as a body part within
the initial INVITE, INVITE and optionally also includes a metadata/control
object informing the PSAP of its capabilities as another body part.
The MSD body part (and metadata/control and PIDF-
LO Presence Information Data
Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) body parts parts, if included) have a
Content-Disposition header field with the value "By-Reference;
handling=optional". Specifying "handling=optional" prevents the SIP
INVITE request from being rejected if it is processed by a legacy
element (e.g., a gateway between SIP and circuit-switched
environments) that does not understand the MSD (or metadata/control
object or PIDF-LO).

The PSAP creates a metadata/control object acknowledging receipt of
the MSD and includes it as a body part within the SIP final response
to the SIP INVITE request per [RFC7852]. A metadata/control object
is not included in provisional (e.g., 180) responses.

A PSAP is able to reject a call while indicating that it is aware of
the situation by including a metadata/control object acknowledging
the MSD and containing "received=true" within a final response using
SIP response code 600 (Busy Everywhere), 486 (Busy Here), or 603
(Decline), per [RFC7852].

If the IVS receives an acknowledgment for an MSD containing
"received=false", this indicates that the PSAP was unable to properly
decode or process the MSD. The IVS action is not defined (e.g., it
might only log an error). Since the PSAP is able to request an
updated MSD during the call, if an initial MSD is unsatisfactory in
any way, the PSAP can choose to request another one.

A PSAP can request that the vehicle send an updated MSD during a call
(e.g., upon manual request of the PSAP call taker who suspects the
vehicle state may have changed.) changed). To do so, the PSAP creates a
metadata/control object requesting an MSD and includes it within a
SIP INFO request sent within the dialog. The IVS then includes an
updated MSD within a SIP INFO request and sends it within the dialog.
If the IVS is unable to send an MSD, it instead sends a metadata/
control object acknowledging the request request, containing an
<actionResult> element with the 'success' a "success" parameter set to 'false' "false" and
a 'reason' "reason" parameter (and optionally a 'details' "details" parameter)
indicating why the request could not be accomplished. Per [RFC6086],
metadata/control objects and MSDs are sent using the INFO package
defined in Section 14.9. In addition, to align with how an MSD or
metadata/control block is transmitted in a SIP message other than an
INFO request, a Call-Info header field is included in the SIP INFO
request to reference the MSD or metadata/control block per [RFC7852].
See Section 14.9 for information about the use of SIP INFO requests
to carry data within an eCall.

The IVS is not expected to send an unsolicited MSD after the initial
INVITE.

This document does not mandate support for the data blocks defined in
[RFC7852].

7. Call Setup

In a circuit-switched eCall, the IVS places a special form of a 112
emergency call call, which carries an eCall flag (indicating that the call
is an eCall and also if the call was manually or automatically
triggered); the mobile network operator (MNO) recognizes the eCall
flag and routes the call to an eCall-capable PSAP; PSAP, and vehicle data
is transmitted to the PSAP via the eCall in-band modem (in the voice
channel).

///----\\\

///-----\\\ 112 voice call with eCall flag +------+
||| IVS |||---------------------------------------->+ PSAP |
\\\----///
\\\-----/// vehicle data via eCall in-band modem +------+

Figure 1: circuit-switched Circuit-Switched eCall

For NG-eCall, the IVS establishes an emergency call using a Request-
URI indicating a manual or automatic eCall; the MNO (or ESInet)
recognizes the eCall URN and routes the call to an NG-eCall capable NG-eCall-capable
PSAP; and the PSAP interprets the vehicle data sent with the call and
makes it available to the call taker.

///----\\\

///-----\\\ IMS emergency call with eCall URN +------+
||| IVS ----------------------------------------->+ |||---------------------------------------->+ PSAP |
\\\----///
\\\-----/// vehicle data included in call setup +------+

Figure 2: NG-eCall
See Section 6 for information on how the MSD is transported within an
NG-eCall.

This document adds new service URN children within the "sos"
subservice. These URNs provide the mechanism by which an eCall is
identified,
identified and differentiate between manually and automatically
triggered eCalls (which might be subject to different treatment,
depending on policy). The two service URNs are:
urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic and urn:service:sos.ecall.manual,
which requests request resources associated with an emergency call placed by
an in-vehicle system, carrying a standardized set of data related to
the vehicle and incident. These are registered in Section 14.2 14.2.

Call routing is outside the scope of this document.

8. Test Calls

eCall requires the ability to place test calls (see [TS22.101] [TS22.101],
clause 10.7 and [EN_16062] [EN_16062], clause 7.2.2). These are calls that are
recognized and treated to some extent as eCalls but are not given
emergency call treatment and are not handled by call takers. The
specific handling of test eCalls is not itself standardized; outside the scope of this
document; typically, the test call facility allows the IVS or user to
verify that an eCall can be successfully established with voice
communication. The IVS might also be able to verify that the MSD was
successfully received.

A service URN starting with "test." indicates a test call. For
eCall, "urn:service:test.sos.ecall" indicates such a test feature.
This functionality
The "test" service URN is defined in [RFC6881].

This document specifies "urn:service:test.sos.ecall" for eCall test
calls. This is registered in Section 14.2 14.2.

The circuit switched circuit-switched eCall test call facility is a non-emergency
number
number, so it does not get treated as an emergency call. For
NG-eCall, MNOs, emergency authorities, and PSAPs can determine how to
treat a vehicle call requesting the "test" service URN so that the
desired functionality is tested, but this is outside the scope of
this document.

9. The Metadata/Control Object

eCall requires the ability for the PSAP to acknowledge successful
receipt of an MSD sent by the IVS, IVS and for the PSAP to request that
the IVS send an MSD (e.g., the call taker can initiate a request for
a new MSD to see if there have been changes in the vehicle's state,
e.g.,
such as location, direction, or number of fastened seatbelts). seat belts).

This document defines a block of metadata/control data as an XML
structure containing elements used for eCall and other related
emergency call systems and extension points. (This metadata/control
block is in effect a high-level protocol between the PSAP and IVS.)
When

This document registers the PSAP sends a metadata/control block in response application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml
MIME media type to data sent
by enable the IVS metadata/control data to be carried in a
SIP. This document also adds "Control" to the "Emergency Call Data
Types" registry to enable the metadata/control block to be recognized
as such in a SIP-based eCall emergency call. (See [RFC7852] for more
information about the registry and how it is used.)

See Section 6 for a discussion of how the metadata/control data is
conveyed in an NG-eCall.

When the PSAP sends a metadata/control block in response to data sent
by the IVS in a SIP request other than INFO (e.g., the MSD in the
initial INVITE), the metadata/control block is sent in the SIP
response to that request (e.g., the response to the INVITE request).
When the PSAP sends a control block in other circumstances (e.g.,
mid-call), mid
call), the control block is transmitted from the PSAP to the IVS in a
SIP INFO request within the established dialog. The IVS sends the
requested data (the MSD) in a new SIP INFO request (per [RFC6086]).
This mechanism flexibly allows the PSAP to send eCall-
specific eCall-specific data
to the IVS and the IVS to respond. SIP INFO requests are sent using
an appropriate SIP INFO Package. package. See Section 6 for more information on
sending a metadata/control block within a SIP message. See
Section 14.9 for information about the use of SIP INFO requests to
carry data within an eCall.

When the IVS includes an unsolicited MSD in a SIP request (e.g., the
initial INVITE), the PSAP sends a metadata/control block indicating
successful/unsuccessful receipt of the MSD in the SIP response to the
request. This also informs the IVS that an NG-eCall is in operation.
If the IVS receives a SIP final response without the metadata/control
block, it indicates that the SIP dialog is not an NG-eCall (e.g.,
some part of the call is being handled as a legacy call). When the
IVS sends a solicited MSD (e.g., in a SIP INFO request sent following
receipt of a SIP INFO request containing a metadata/control block
requesting an MSD), the PSAP does not send a metadata/control block
indicating successful or unsuccessful receipt of the MSD. (Normal
SIP retransmission handles non-receipt of requested data; note that,
per [RFC6086], a 200 OK response to a SIP INFO request indicates only
that the receiver has successfully received and accepted the SIP INFO
request, and it says nothing about the acceptability of the payload.)
If the IVS receives a request to send an MSD but it is unable to do
so for any reason, the IVS instead sends a metadata/control object
acknowledging the request and request, containing "success=false" and "reason" an <actionResult> element with
a "succes" parameter set to an
appropriate code. "false" and a "reason" parameter (and
optionally a "details" parameter) indicating why the request could
not be accomplished.

This provides flexibility to handle various circumstances. For
example, if a PSAP is unable to accept an eCall (e.g., due to
overload or too many calls from the same location), it can reject the
INVITE. Since a metadata/control object is also included in the SIP
response that rejects the call, the IVS knows if the PSAP received
the MSD, MSD and can inform the vehicle occupants that the PSAP
successfully received the vehicle location and information but can't
talk to the occupants at that time. Especially for SIP response
codes that indicate an inability to conduct a call (as opposed to a
technical inability to process the request), the IVS can also
determine that the call was successful on a technical level (e.g.,
not helpful to retry as circuit-switched). circuit switched). (Note that there could be
edge cases where the PSAP response is not received by the IVS, e.g.,
if an intermediary sends a CANCEL, and an error response is forwarded
towards the IVS before the error response from the PSAP is received,
the response will be dropped, but these are unlikely to occur here.)

The metadata/control block is carried in the MIME type 'application/
emergencyCallData.control+xml'. application/
EmergencyCallData.Control+xml.

The metadata/control block is designed for use with pan-European Pan-European
eCall and also eCall-like systems (i.e., in other regions), and it
has extension points. Note that eCall-like systems might define
their own vehicle data blocks, blocks and so might need to register a new INFO
package to accommodate the new data MIME media type and the metadata/
control object.

9.1. The Control Block

The control block is an XML data structure allowing for
acknowledgments, requests, and capabilities information. It is
carried in a body part with a specific MIME media type. Three
elements are defined for use within a control block:

ack Acknowledges receipt of data or a request.

capabilities Used in a control block sent from the IVS to the PSAP
(e.g., in the initial INVITE) to inform the PSAP of the
vehicle capabilities. Child elements contain all
actions and data types supported by the vehicle. It is
OPTIONAL for the IVS to send this block. Omitting the
block indicates that the IVS supports only the
mandatory functionality defined in this document.

request Used in a control block sent by the PSAP to the IVS, IVS to
request the vehicle to perform an action.

The <ack> element indicates the object being acknowledged and reports
success or failure.

The <request> element contains attributes to indicate the request and
to supply related information. The 'action' "action" attribute is mandatory
and indicates the specific action. An IANA registry is created in
Section 14.8.1 to contain the allowed values.

The <capabilities> element has child <request> elements to indicate
the actions supported by the IVS.

9.1.1. The <ack> element Element

The <ack> element acknowledges receipt of an eCall data object or
request. An <ack> element references the Content-ID of the object
being acknowledged. The PSAP MUST send an <ack> element
acknowledging receipt of an unsolicited MSD (e.g., sent by the IVS in
the INVITE); this <ack> element indicates if the PSAP considers the
MSD successfully received or not. An <ack> element is not sent for a
<capabilities> element.

The <ack> element has the following attributes:

9.1.1.1. Attributes of the <ack> element Element

The <ack> element has the following attributes:

Name: ref
Usage: Mandatory
Type: anyURI
Direction: Sent in either direction
Description: References the Content-ID of the body part being
acknowledged.

Description: Indicates if the referenced object was considered
successfully received or not.
Example: <ack received="true"
ref="1234567890@atlanta.example.com"/>

9.1.1.2. Child Element of the <ack> element Element

For extensibility, the <ack> element has the following child element:

Name: actionResult
Usage: Optional
Direction: Sent from the IVS to the PSAP
Description: An <actionResult> element indicates the result of an
action (other than a successfully executed 'send-data' "send-data" action).
The <ack> element contains an <actionResult> element for each
<request> element that is not a successfully executed 'send-data' "send-data"
action. The <actionResult> element has the following attributes:

Name: action
Usage: Mandatory
Type: token
Description: Contains the value of the 'action' "action" attribute of the
<request> element

Name: success
Usage: Mandatory
Type: Boolean boolean
Description: Indicates if the action was successfully
accomplished

Name: reason
Usage: Conditional
Type: token
Description: Used when 'success' "success" is "false", this attribute
contains a reason code for a failure. A registry for reason
codes is defined in Section 14.8.2. The initial values are:
damaged (required components are damaged), data-unsupported
(the data item referenced in a 'send-data' "send-data" request is not
supported), security-failure (the authenticity of the request
or the authority of the requestor could not be verified),
unable (a generic error for use when no other code is
appropriate), and unsupported (the 'action' "action" value is not
supported).

Name: details
Usage: optional
Type: string
Description: Contains further explanation of the circumstances of
a success or failure. The contents are implementation-specific implementation specific
and human-readable. human readable. This is intended for internal use and
troubleshooting, not for display to vehicle occupants.

9.1.2. The <capabilities> element Element

The <capabilities> element is transmitted by the IVS to indicate its
capabilities to the PSAP its capabilities. PSAP. No attributes for this element are
currently defined. The following There is one child elements are defined: element defined.

9.1.2.1. Child Element of the <capabilities> element Element

The <capabilities> element has the following child element:

Name: request
Usage: Mandatory
Description: The <capabilities> element contains a <request> child
element per action supported by the vehicle.

Example:

</capabilities>

It is OPTIONAL for the IVS to support the <capabilities> element. If
the IVS does not send a <capabilities> element, this indicates that
the only <request> action supported by the IVS is 'send-data' "send-data" with
'datatype'
"datatype" set to 'eCall.MSD'. "eCall.MSD".

10. Examples

Figure 6 illustrates an eCall. The call uses the request URI
'urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic'
urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic service URN and is recognized as an
eCall, and further as one that was invoked automatically by the IVS
due to a crash or other serious incident. In this example, the
originating network routes the call to an ESInet ESInet, which routes the
call to the appropriate NG-eCall capable NG-eCall-capable PSAP. The emergency call is
received by the ESInet's Emergency Services Routing Proxy (ESRP), as
the entry point into the ESInet. The ESRP routes the call to a PSAP,
where it is received by a call taker. In deployments where there is
no ESInet, the originating network routes the call directly to the
appropriate NG-eCall capable NG-eCall-capable PSAP, an illustration of which would be
identical to the one below except without an ESInet or ESRP.

Figure 7 illustrates an eCall call flow with a mid-call PSAP request
for an updated MSD. The call flow shows the IVS initiating an
emergency call, including the MSD in the INVITE. The PSAP includes
in the 200 OK response a metadata/control object acknowledging
receipt of the MSD. During the call, the PSAP sends a request for an
MSD in an INFO request. The IVS sends the requested MSD in a new
INFO request.

11. Security Considerations

The security considerations described in [RFC5069] (on marking and
routing emergency calls) apply here.

In addition to any network-provided location (which might be
determined solely by the network, network or in cooperation with or possibly
entirely by the originating device), an eCall carries an IVS-supplied
location within the MSD. This is likely to be useful to the PSAP,
especially when no network-provided location is included, or when the
two locations are independently determined. Even in situations where
the network-supplied location is limited to the cell site, this can
be useful as a sanity check on the device-supplied location contained
in the MSD.

The document [RFC7378] discusses trust issues regarding location
provided by or determined in cooperation with end devices.

Security considerations specific to the mechanism by which the PSAP
sends acknowledgments and requests to the vehicle are discussed in
the "Security Considerations" block of Section 14.4. Note that an
attacker that has access to and is capable of generating a response
to the initial INVITE request could generate a 600 (Busy Everywhere),
486 (Busy Here), or 603 (Decline) response that includes a metadata/
control object containing a reference to the MSD in the initial
INVITE and a "received=true" field, which could result in the IVS
perceiving the PSAP to be overloaded and hence not attempting to
reinitiate the call. The risk can be mitigated as discussed in the
"Security Considerations" block of Section 14.4.

Data received from external sources inherently carries implementation
risks. For example, depending on the platform, buffer overflows can
introduce remote code execution vulnerabilities, null characters can
corrupt strings, numeric values used for internal calculations can
result in underflow/overflow errors, malformed XML objects can expose
parsing bugs, etc. Implementations need to be cognizant of the
potential risks, observe best practices (which might include
sufficiently capable static code analysis, fuzz testing, component
isolation, avoiding use of unsafe coding techniques, third-party
attack tests, signed software, over-the-air updates, etc.), and have
multiple levels of protection. Implementors need to be aware that,
potentially, the data objects described here and elsewhere (including
the MSD and metadata/control objects) might be malformed, might contain
unexpected characters, have excessively long attribute values, values and
elements, etc.

The security considerations discussed in [RFC7852] apply here (see
especially the discussion of TLS, Transport Layer Security (TLS), TLS
versions, cipher suites, and PKI).

When vehicle data or control/metadata is contained in a signed or
encrypted body part, the enclosing multipart (e.g., multipart/signed
or multipart/encrypted) has the same Content-ID as the enclosed data
part. This allows an entity to identify and access the data blocks
it is interested in without having to dive deeply into the message
structure or decrypt parts it is not interested in. (The 'purpose' "purpose"
parameter in a Call-Info header field identifies the data and
contains a CID URL pointing to the data block in the body, which has
a matching Content-ID body part header field). field.)

12. Privacy Considerations

The privacy considerations discussed in [RFC7852] apply here. The
MSD carries some identifying and personal information (mostly about
the vehicle and less about the owner), as well as location
information, and so it needs to be protected against unauthorized
disclosure. Local regulations may impose additional privacy
protection requirements.

Privacy considerations specific to the data structure containing
vehicle information are discussed in the "Security Considerations"
block of Section 14.3.

Privacy considerations specific to the mechanism by which the PSAP
sends acknowledgments and requests to the vehicle are discussed in
the "Security Considerations" block of Section 14.4.

13. XML Schema

This section defines an XML schema for the control block. The text
description of the control block in Section 9.1 is normative and
supersedes any conflicting aspect of this schema.

14. IANA Considerations

14.1. The EmergencyCallData Media Subtree

This document establishes the "EmergencyCallData" media (MIME)
subtype tree, a new media subtree rooted at "application/
EmergencyCallData". This subtree is used only for content associated
with emergency communications. New subtypes in this subtree follow
the rules specified in Section 3.1 of [RFC6838], with the additional
restriction that the standards-related organization MUST be
responsible for some aspect of emergency communications.

This subtree initially contains the following subtypes (defined here
or in [RFC7852]):

emergencyCallData.control+xml
EmergencyCallData.Comment+xml
EmergencyCallData.DeviceInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.MSD
EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.ServiceInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.SubscriberInfo+xml

14.2. Service URN Registrations

IANA is requested to register the URN 'urn:service:sos.ecall' under
the sub-services 'sos' registry defined in Section 4.2 of [RFC5031].

This service requests resources associated with an emergency call
placed by an in-vehicle system, carrying a standardized set of data
related to the vehicle and incident. Two sub-services are registered
as well:

urn:service:sos.ecall.manual

Used with an eCall invoked due to manual interaction by a vehicle
occupant.

urn:service:sos.ecall.automatic

Used with an eCall invoked automatically, for example, due to a
crash or other serious incident.

IANA is also requested to register the URN
'urn:service:test.sos.ecall' under the sub-service 'test' registry
defined in Setcion 17.2 of [RFC6881]. This service requests
resources associated with a test (non-emergency) call placed by an
in-vehicle system. See Section 8 for more information on the test
eCall request URN.

14.3. MIME Media Type Registration for 'application/
emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD'

IANA is requested to add application/emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD as a
MIME media type, with a reference to this document, in accordance to
the procedures of RFC 6838 [RFC6838] and guidelines in RFC 7303
[RFC7303].

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD

Mandatory parameters: none

Optional parameters: none

Encoding scheme: binary

Encoding considerations: Uses ASN.1 PER, which is a binary
encoding; when transported in SIP, binary content transfer
encoding is used.

Security considerations: This media type is designed to carry
vehicle and incident-related data during an emergency call. This
data contains personal information including vehicle VIN,
location, direction, etc. Appropriate precautions need to be
taken to limit unauthorized access, inappropriate disclosure to
third parties, and eavesdropping of this information. Sections 9
and Section 10 of [RFC7852] contain more discussion.

Interoperability considerations: None

Published specification: Annex A of EN 15722 [msd]

Applications which use this media type: Pan-European eCall
compliant systems

Additional information: None

Magic Number: None

File Extension: None

Macintosh file type code: 'BINA'

14. IANA Considerations

14.1. The European Committee For Standardization
(CEN)

14.4. MIME EmergencyCallData Media Type Registration for 'application/
emergencyCallData.control+xml'

IANA is requested to add application/emergencyCallData.control+xml as Subtree

This document establishes the "EmergencyCallData" media (MIME)
subtype tree, a MIME new media type, subtree rooted at "application/
EmergencyCallData". This subtree is used only for content associated
with a reference to this document, emergency communications. New subtypes in accordance
to this subtree follow
the procedures of RFC 6838 [RFC6838] and guidelines rules specified in RFC 7303
[RFC7303].

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: emergencyCallData.control+xml

Mandatory parameters: none

Optional parameters: charset

Indicates the character encoding of the XML content.

Encoding considerations: Uses XML, which can employ 8-bit
characters, depending on the character encoding used. See Section 3.2 3.1 of RFC 7303 [RFC7303].

Security considerations:

This media type carries metadata and control information and
requests, such as from a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
to an In-Vehicle System (IVS) during an emergency call.

Metadata (such as an acknowledgment that data sent by the IVS
to the PSAP was successfully received) has limited privacy and
security implications. Control information (such as requests
from [RFC6838], with the PSAP additional
restriction that the vehicle perform an action) has some
privacy and security implications. The privacy concern arises
from the ability to request the vehicle to transmit a data set,
which as described in Section 14.3, can contain personal
information. The security concern is the ability to request
the vehicle to perform an action. Control information needs to
originate only from a PSAP or other emergency services
provider, and not standards-related organization MUST be modified en-route. The level of integrity
responsible for some aspect of the cellular network over which the emergency call is placed
is a consideration: when communications.

This subtree initially contains the IVS initiates an eCall over a
cellular network, following subtypes (defined here
or in most cases it relies on [RFC7852]):

EmergencyCallData.Comment+xml
EmergencyCallData.Control+xml
EmergencyCallData.DeviceInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD
EmergencyCallData.ProviderInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.ServiceInfo+xml
EmergencyCallData.SubscriberInfo+xml

14.2. Service URN Registrations

IANA has registered the MNO to route URN urn:service:sos.ecall under the call to a PSAP. (Calls placed using other means, such as
Wi-Fi or over-the-top services, generally incur somewhat higher
levels of risk than calls placed "natively" using cellular
networks.) A call-back from a PSAP merits additional
consideration, since current mechanisms are not ideal for
verifying that such a call is indeed a call-back from a PSAP "'sos'
Sub-Services" registry defined in
response to Section 4.2 of [RFC5031].

This service requests resources associated with an emergency call
placed by an in-vehicle system, carrying a standardized set of data
related to the IVS. See the
discussion in Section 11 and the PSAP Callback document
[RFC7090].

Sections 7 vehicle and Section 8 of [RFC7852] contain more discussion.

Interoperability considerations: None

Published specification: This document

14.8. Registry Creation

This document creates a new registry called "Emergency Call Metadata/
Control Data". The following sub-registries are created within this
registry.

14.8.1. Emergency Call Action Registry

This document creates a new sub-registry called "Emergency Call
Action". As defined 6838 [RFC6838] and guidelines in [RFC5226], this registry operates under
"Expert Review" rules. The expert should determine that the proposed
action RFC 7303
[RFC7303].

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD

Mandatory parameters: none

Optional parameters: none

Encoding scheme: binary

Encoding considerations:
Uses ASN.1 PER, which is within the purview of a vehicle, binary encoding; when transported in
SIP, binary content transfer encoding is sufficiently
distinguishable from other actions, and the action used.

Security considerations:
This media type is clearly designed to carry vehicle and
fully described. In most cases, a published incident-
related data during an emergency call. This data contains
personal information including vehicle VIN, location,
direction, etc. Appropriate precautions need to be taken to
limit unauthorized access, inappropriate disclosure to third
parties, and stable document is
referenced for the description of the action.

The content eavesdropping of this registry includes:

Name: The identifier to be used in the 'action' attribute information. Sections 9 and
10 of a
control <request> element.

Description: [RFC7852] contain more discussion.

Interoperability considerations: None

Published specification: Annex A description of the action. In most cases EN 15722 [MSD]

14.4. MIME Media Type Registration for application/
EmergencyCallData.Control+xml

IANA has added application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml as a MIME
media type, with a reference to be taken by this document, in accordance to the
procedures of RFC 6838 [RFC6838] and guidelines in RFC 7303
[RFC7303].

MIME media type name: application

MIME subtype name: EmergencyCallData.Control+xml

Mandatory parameters: none

Optional parameters: charset

Indicates the
vehicle.

The initial set character encoding of values is listed in Table 2.

Encoding considerations:
Uses XML, which can employ 8-bit characters, depending on the
character encoding used. See Section 9.1.3.1 3.2 of this document |
+-----------+--------------------------------------+

Table 2: Emergency Call Action Registry Initial Values

14.8.2. Emergency Call Action Failure Reason Registry RFC 7303
[RFC7303].

Security considerations:
This document creates media type carries metadata and control information and
requests, such as from a new sub-registry called "Emergency Call
Action Failure Reason", which contains values for the 'reason'
attribute of the <actionResult> element. As defined in [RFC5226],
this registry operates under "Expert Review" rules. The expert
should determine Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
to an In-Vehicle System (IVS) during an emergency call.

Metadata (such as an acknowledgment that data sent by the proposed reason is sufficiently
distinguishable from other reasons IVS
to the PSAP was successfully received) has limited privacy and
security implications. Control information (such as requests
from the PSAP that the proposed description
is understandable vehicle perform an action) has some
privacy and correctly worded. security implications. The content of this registry includes:

ID: A short string identifying the reason, for use in privacy concern arises
from the 'reason'
attribute of an <actionResult> element.

Description: A description of ability to request the reason.

The initial set of values is listed in Table 3.

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

14.9. The emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO package

This document registers a consideration: when the 'emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD' INFO
package.

Both endpoints (the IVS and the PSAP equipment) include
'emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD' in initiates an eCall over a Recv-Info header field per
[RFC6086] to indicate ability to receive INFO requests carrying data
as described here.

Support for
cellular network, in most cases it relies on the 'emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD' INFO package indicates MNO to route
the ability call to receive eCall related body parts a PSAP. (Calls placed using other means, such as specified
Wi-Fi or over-the-top services, generally incur somewhat higher
levels of risk than calls placed "natively" using cellular
networks.) A callback from a PSAP merits additional
consideration, since current mechanisms are not ideal for
verifying that such a call is indeed a callback from a PSAP in [TBD:
THIS DOCUMENT].

An INFO request message carrying body parts related
response to an emergency call as described in [TBD: THIS DOCUMENT] has an Info-Package header
field set to 'emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD' per [RFC6086].

The requirements of Section 10 of [RFC6086] are addressed in the
following sections.

14.9.1. Overall Description

This section describes "what type of information is carried in INFO
requests associated with the Info Package, and for what types of
applications and functionalities UAs can use placed by the Info Package."
INFO requests associated with IVS. See the emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO
package carry data associated with emergency calls as defined
discussion in
[TBD: THIS DOCUMENT]. The application is vehicle-initiated emergency
calls established using SIP. The functionality is to carry vehicle
data Section 11 and metadata/control information between vehicles the PSAP Callback document
[RFC7090].

Sections 7 and PSAPs.
Refer to [TBD: THIS DOCUMENT] for 8 of [RFC7852] contain more information.

14.9.2. Applicability discussion.

Interoperability considerations: None

Published specification: This section describes "why the Info Package mechanism, rather than
some other mechanism, has been chosen for the specific use-case...."

14.5. Registration of the INFO method versus
other approaches (which included the SIP MESSAGE method, "eCall.MSD" Entry in the SIP
OPTIONS method, Emergency Call Data
Types Registry

IANA has added the SIP re-INVITE method, media plane transport, and
non-SIP protocols). In particular, "eCall.MSD" entry to the transport of emergency call
data blocks occurs within a SIP emergency dialog, per Section 6, and "Emergency Call Data
Types" registry, with a reference to this document; the "Data About"
value is normally carried "The Call".

14.6. Registration of the "Control" Entry in the initial INVITE request and response; Emergency Call Data
Types Registry

IANA has added the
use of "Control" entry to the SIP INFO method only occurs when emergency-call-related
data needs "Emergency Call Data Types"
registry, with a reference to be sent mid-call. While this document; the SIP MESSAGE method could
be used, it "Data About" value
is not tied to "The Call".

14.7. Registration for urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:EmergencyCallData:control

This section registers a SIP dialog new XML namespace, as is the SIP INFO method and
thus might not be associated with the dialog. Either per the SIP OPTIONS
or re-INVITE methods could also be used, but is seen guidelines in
RFC 3688 [RFC3688].

14.8. Registry Creation

This document creates a new registry called "Emergency Call Metadata/
Control Data". The SIP SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY method could be
coerced into service, but the semantics following sub-registries are not created for this
registry.

14.8.1. Emergency Call Actions Registry

This document creates a good fit, e.g., the
subscribe/notify mechanism provides one-way communication consisting
of (often multiple) notifications from notifier to subscriber
indicating that certain events in notifier have occurred, whereas
what's needed here is two-way communication of data related to the
emergency dialog. Use of new sub-registry called "Emergency Call
Actions". As defined in [RFC5226], this registry operates under
"Expert Review" rules. The expert should determine that the media plane mechanisms was discounted
because proposed
action is within the number purview of messages needing to be exchanged in a dialog vehicle, is
normally zero or very few, sufficiently
distinguishable from other actions, and is clearly and fully
described. In most cases, a published and stable document is
referenced for the size description of the data is likewise very
small. action.

The overhead caused by user plane setup (e.g., content of this registry includes:

Name: The identifier to use MSRP as
transport) would be disproportionately large.

Based on used in the analyses, "action" attribute of a
control <request> element.

Description: A description of the SIP INFO method was chosen action. In most cases, this will
be a reference to provide for
mid-call data transport.

14.9.3. Info Package Name

The info package name is emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD

14.9.4. Info Package Parameters

None

14.9.5. SIP Option-Tags

None

14.9.6. INFO Request Body Parts

The body for an emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD info package is a
multipart (normally multipart/mixed) body containing zero or one
application/emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD part (containing an MSD) published and
zero stable document. The
description MUST specify if any attributes or more application/emergencyCallData.control+xml (containing a
metadata/control object) parts. At least one MSD child elements are
optional or metadata/control
body part mandatory and describe the action to be taken by the
vehicle.

The initial set of values is listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Emergency Call Actions Registry Initial Values

14.8.2. Emergency Call Action Failure Reasons Registry

This document creates a new sub-registry called "Emergency Call
Action Failure Reasons", which contains values for the "reason"
attribute of the <actionResult> element. As defined in [RFC5226],
this registry operates under "Expert Review" rules. The expert
should determine that the proposed reason is expected; sufficiently
distinguishable from other reasons and that the behavior upon receiving an INFO request
with neither proposed description
is undefined.

The body parts are sent per [RFC6086], understandable and correctly worded.

The content of this registry includes:

ID: A short string identifying the reason, for use in addition, to align with
with how these body parts are sent in SIP messages other than INFO
requests, each associated body part is referenced by a Call-Info
header field at the top level "reason"
attribute of an <actionResult> element.

Description: A description of the SIP message. reason.

The body part has
a Content-Disposition header field initial set to "By-Reference".

An MSD or metadata/control block of values is always enclosed listed in Table 2.

See [TBD: THIS DOCUMENT] for more information.

14.9.7. Info Package Usage Restrictions

Usage is limited to vehicle-initiated emergency calls as defined in
[TBD: THIS DOCUMENT].

14.9. The SIP EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO request is used within an established emergency call
dialog for Package

This document registers the PSAP to request EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO package
in the "Info Packages Registry".

Both endpoints (the IVS to send an updated MSD, and
for the IVS to send a requested MSD. Because this is normally done
only on manual request of the PSAP call taker (who suspects some
aspect of the vehicle state has changed), equipment) include
EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD in a Recv-Info header field per [RFC6086]
to indicate the rate of SIP ability to receive INFO requests associated with carrying data as
described here.

Support for the emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD info EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO package
is normally quite low (most dialogs are likely indicates
the ability to contain zero INFO
requests, while others might carry an occasional request).

14.9.9. Info Package Security Considerations

The MIME media type registrations receive eCall related body parts as specified for use with in this
document.

An INFO
package (Section 14.3 and Section 14.4) contain a discussion of the
security and/or privacy considerations specific request message carrying body parts related to that data block. an emergency
call as described in this document has an Info-Package header field
set to "EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD" per [RFC6086].

The "Security Considerations" and "Privacy Considerations" sections requirements of [TBD: THIS DOCUMENT] discuss security and privacy considerations Section 10 of the data carried [RFC6086] are addressed in eCalls.

o Further corrected "content type" to "media type"

17.3. Changes from draft-ietf-17 to draft-ietf-18

o Added reference to 3GPP TS24.229
o Clarified that an INFO request vehicle-initiated emergency calls
established using SIP. The functionality is expected to have at least one
MSD or carry vehicle data
and metadata/control body part
o Fixed minor errors in examples
o Corrected "content type" to "media type"
o Deleted "xsi:schemaLocation" from examples

17.4. Changes from draft-ietf-16 to draft-ietf-17

o Clarify Content-Disposition value in information between vehicles and PSAPs.

14.9.2. Applicability

This section describes why the INFO requests

17.5. Changes from draft-ietf-15 to draft-ietf-16

o Various clarifications and simplifications
o Added reference to 3GPP 23.167

17.6. Changes from draft-ietf-14 to draft-ietf-15

o eCall body parts now always sent enclosed in multipart (even if
only body part in package mechanism, rather than
some other mechanism, has been chosen for the specific use case.

The use of the SIP message) INFO method is based on an analysis of the
requirements against the intent and hence always have a Content-
Disposition effects of By-Reference
o Fixed errors in attribute directionality text
o Fixed typos.

17.7. Changes from draft-ietf-13 to draft-ietf-14

o Added text to the IANA Considerations to formalize INFO method versus
other approaches (which included the
EmergencyCallData media subtree
o Fixed some typos

17.8. Changes from draft-ietf-12 to draft-ietf-13

o Clarifications suggested by Christer
o Corrections to Content-Disposition text SIP MESSAGE method, the SIP
OPTIONS method, the SIP re-INVITE method, media-plane transport, and examples as suggested
by Paul Kyzivat
o Clarifications to Content-Disposition text
non-SIP protocols). In particular, the transport of emergency call
data blocks occurs within a SIP emergency dialog, per Section 6, and examples to clarify
that handling=optional
is only used normally carried in the initial INVITE

17.9. Changes from draft-ietf-11 to draft-ietf-12

o Fixed errors in examples found by Dale
o Removed enclosing sub-section of INFO package registration section
o Added text per Christer and Dale's suggestions that the MSD request and
metadata/control blocks are sent in INFO with a Call-Info header
field referencing them
o Deleted Call Routing section (7.1) in favor of a statement that
call routing is outside response; the scope
use of the document
o Other text changes per comments received from Christer and Ivo.

17.10. Changes from draft-ietf-09 to draft-ietf-11

o Renamed INFO package to emergencyCallData.eCall.MSD
o Changed SIP INFO package to method only permit MSD and metadata/control MIME
types
o Moved <capabilities> element back from car-crash but made it
OPTIONAL
o Moved other extension points back from car-crash so that extension
points are in base spec (and also to get XML schema occurs when emergency-call-related
data needs to compile)
o Text changes for clarification.

17.11. Changes from draft-ietf-08 be sent mid call. While the SIP MESSAGE method could
be used, it is not tied to draft-ietf-09

o Created a new "Data Transport" section that describes how SIP dialog as is the MSD SIP INFO method and metadata/control blocks
thus might not be associated with the dialog. Either SIP OPTIONS or
re-INVITE methods could also be used, but they are attached, and then referred to
that section rather seen as less clean
than repeat the information about SIP INFO method. The SIP SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY method could be
coerced into service, but the semantics are not a good fit, e.g., the CID and
Call-Info and so forth, which means most references
subscribe/notify mechanism provides one-way communication consisting
of (often multiple) notifications from notifier to the
additional-data draft subscriber
indicating that certain events in notifier have now been deleted
o Mentioned edge cases where a PSAP response occurred, whereas
what's needed here is two-way communication of data related to INVITE isn't
received by the IVS
o Reworded description
emergency dialog. Use of which status codes are used when a PSAP
wishes media-plane mechanisms was discounted
because the number of messages needing to reject be exchanged in a call but inform the vehicle occupants that it dialog is aware
normally zero or very few, and the size of the situation data is likewise very
small. The overhead caused by user-plane setup (e.g., to use the
Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) as transport) would be more definite
o Added examples showing
disproportionately large.

Based on the analyses, the SIP INFO
o Added references for eCall test call requirement
o Described meaning of eCall URNs in Section 8 as well as in IANA
registration

17.12. Changes from draft-ietf-07 to draft-ietf-08

o eCall MSD now encoded as ASN.1 PER, using binary content transfer
encoding
o Added text method was chosen to point out aspects of call handling and metadata/
control usage, such as use in rejected calls, provide for
mid-call data transport.

14.9.3. INFO Package Name

The INFO package name is EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD

14.9.4. INFO Package Parameters

None

14.9.5. SIP Option-Tags

None

14.9.6. INFO Request Body Parts

The body for an EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD INFO package is a
multipart (normally multipart/mixed) body containing zero or one
application/EmergencyCallData.eCall.MSD parts (containing an MSD) and solicited MSDs
o Revised use of
zero or more application/EmergencyCallData.Control+xml (containing a
metadata/control object) parts. At least one MSD or metadata/control
body part is expected; the behavior upon receiving an INFO to require that when a request for an MSD
with neither is undefined.

The body parts are sent per [RFC6086], and in INFO, the MSD addition, to align with
how these body parts are sent in response is in its own INFO, not the
response to the requesting INFO
o Added material to SIP messages other than INFO package registation to comply with
Section 10 of [RFC6086]
o Moved material not required
requests, each associated body part is referenced by 3GPP into
[I-D.ietf-ecrit-car-crash], e.g., some of a Call-Info
header field at the eCall metadata/
control elements, attributes, and values
o Revised test call wording to clarify that specific handling is out top level of scope
o Revised wording throughout the document to simplify
o Moved new Section 7.1 to be SIP message. The body part has
a subsection of 7
o Moved new Section Section 14.9 Content-Disposition header field set to be a main section instead of "By-Reference".

An MSD or metadata/control block is always enclosed in a
subsection of Section 9
o Revised multipart
body part (even if it would otherwise be the only body part in the
SIP message). The outermost multipart that contains only body parts
associated with the INFO usage and package registration per advice from
Robert Sparks and Paul Kyzivat

17.13. Changes from draft-ietf-06 to draft-ietf-07

o Fixed typo in Acknowledgements

MSD and control objects
o Clarified that the <actionResult> element can appear multiple
times INFO Requests

The SIP INFO request is used within an <ack> element
o Fixed IMS definition

o Added clarifying text reinforcing that the data exchange is for
small blocks of data infrequently transmitted
o Clarified that dynamic media is conveyed using SIP re-INVITE
the IVS to
establish send a one-way media stream
o Clarified that the scope requested MSD. Because this is the needs normally done only
on manual request of eCall within the SIP
emergency PSAP call environment
o Added informative statement that taker (who suspects some aspect of
the document may be suitable for
reuse by other ACN systems
o Clarified that normative language for vehicle state has changed), the control block applies to
both IVS and PSAP
o Removed 'ref', 'supported-mime', and <media> elements
o Minor wording improvements and clarifications

17.19. Changes from draft-ietf-00 to draft-ietf-01

o Added further discussion rate of test calls

normally quite low (most dialogs are likely to eCall
o Added details of the eCall metadata and control functionality
o Added IANA registration for the contain zero INFO
requests, while others might carry an occasional request).

14.9.9. INFO Package Security Considerations

The MIME media type registrations specified for the control
object
