    The document describes an interoperability issue between Qualcomm devices and the A-GPS server from China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC) networks. Specifically, the CMCC server provides incorrect GPS almanac assistance data to devices using SUPL 1.0, causing A-GPS failures. As a workaround, the document proposes a code change on Qualcomm devices to reject the almanac but still use ephemeris data from the server until CMCC fixes the server software. The root cause is that the CMCC server transmits PRN numbers outside the specified range.

    1 1 Introduction

    2 1.1 Purpose
    3 An interoperability issue is observed in SUPL 1.0 IOT on China Mobile Communications
    4 Corporation (CMCC) networks. This is a known issue of the CMCC A-GPS server, in which bad
    5 almanac assistance data is provided with incorrect PRN using SUPL 1.0/RRLP Rel 5, causing A-
    6 GPS failure on the UE side.
    7 This document describes a workaround on the UE side to bypass the CMCC server issue and
    8 minimize the impact on UE performance until CMCC updates their server.

    9 1.2 Scope
    10 This document applies to all devices currently using the CMCC A-GPS server.

    11 1.3 Conventions

    1 2 Software Update Description

    2 2.1 Problem description


    3 An interoperability issue has been detected on the CMCC (NSN/MOT) A-GPS server during use
    4 of SUPL 1.0/RRLP Rel 5 with multiple QTI device IOTs.
    5 The CMCC (NSN/MOT) A-GPS server appears to provide incorrect GPS almanac assistance data
    6 with PRN numbers 1 to 32, while [S1] specifies PRNs of 0 to 31.
    7 After receipt of bad GPS almanac assistance data, the UE discards ephemeris assistance data
    8 provided by the server, due to PRN mismatch with the incorrect almanac data. As a result, neither
    9 almanac nor ephemeris assistance data are used in positioning, which causes the A-GPS session
    10 to become a standalone session on the UE. This also impacts UE performance in terms of TTFF,
    11 accuracy, and yield.

    12 2.2 Change description


    13 Until the above problem is fixed by CMCC (NSN/MOT), a workaround can be implemented on
    14 the UE side to reject almanac but keep ephemeris, instead of discarding both due to PRN
    15 mismatch.
    16 However, in order to remove the root cause, it is recommended that CMCC (NSN/MOT) update
    17 their server software to transmit correct GPS almanac assistance data (PRNs from 0 to 31) to UEs
    18 according to [S1], because this workaround would impact all SUPL A-GPS sessions with
    19 worldwide SUPL servers.

    20 2.3 Code change


    21 If you are viewing this document using a color monitor, or if you print this document to a color
    22 printer, red boldface indicates code that is to be added.
    23 File: tm_umts_up_supl.c
    24 API: supl_rrlp_gps_assist_proc()
    25 Approximate line number: 11201

    tm_rrlp_alm_to_TmCore_post_data_payload( p_Almanac, &z_tm_post_data_payload


    );
    z_tm_post_data_payload.alm_data.w_GpsWeek = w_AlmanacWeek;

    p_supl_session_status->q_alm_delivered_sv_list |= 1L << p_Almanac-


    >satelliteID;

    Software Update Description

    #if 0
    if ( tm_post_data ( TM_PRTL_TYPE_UMTS_UP,
    p_supl_session_status->tm_active_session_handle,
    TM_POST_DATA_TYPE_ALM,
    &z_tm_post_data_payload
    ) == FALSE
    )
    {
    MSG_HIGH("SUPL to TmCore alm SV %u post failed", u_SvId, 0, 0);
    }
    else
    {
    q_alm_svs_injected |= 1L << p_Almanac->satelliteID;
    }
    #endif
    q_alm_svs_injected |= 1L << p_Almanac->satelliteID;

    /* Move to next element of the list */


    if ( u_i < (almanacList->n - 1) )
    {
    p_Almanac++;
    }

    } /* for-loop GPS alm SVs */

    1 NOTE: This temporary workaround is applicable only until the CMCC A-GPS server issue is resolved.
    2 When the issue is fixed on the CMCC (NSN/MOT) A-GPS server, OEMs are required to remove
    3 the code change provided in this section.

    4 2.4 Side effects of the change


    5 With the above change, all almanac data received from the SUPL server will be discarded.
    6 However, this will have little/no impact on UE performance as long as the UE has valid XTRA
    7 data or almanac demodulated over the air.

    8 NOTE: To enable the XTRA feature, see [Q2] and [Q3].
