Regulatory requirements on emergency call positioning have historically been based on horizontal accuracy for outdoor terminals. However, most emergency calls are made from wireless phones and from indoor locations. Therefore, the American FCC (Federal Communications Commission) launched new requirements in February of this year, to address indoor accuracy requirements in particular. 3GPP, the standardization organization behind LTE, is finalizing a study on how well LTE can meet the requirements in some considered scenarios, and what possible enhancements can be made in future LTE and WCDMA releases.
