      Geotate Arikara Product
Specification V1 .0 Extraction

       

      Purpose

       

      The
Arikara assistance service provides the GPS assistance data necessary for
location processing by the Arikara engine. It is provided as an Internet based
web service using open standard web service protocols and is intended to be
accessed by a server hosted by the customer.

       

      The
assistance web service provides suitable GPS assistance data to the customer’s
server. Arikara enabled devices consumer assistance data by connecting to the
customer’s server which
provides caching proxied access of the assistance data. This architecture is
shown in figure
1.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          3

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

      


       

      

       

      Specifications

       

      The
assistance service conforms to the following specifications:

       

      

       

      Web Service
Interfaces

       

      The
Arikara assistance service is accessed via a SOAP API that is detailed in the
product documentation.

       

      Deliverables

       

      The
following form the deliverables:

       

      Web
service API documentation and WSDL; 

       

      Web
service user credentials;

       

      Web
service IP/FQDN.

       

      Acceptance
Criteria

       

      Correct
operation of the Arikara Assistance Service is demonstrated using a software
testbench running on a PC which implements the complete calling sequence
Protocol to the web service. The pass criterion for the test is that the calling
sequence completes are returns valid assistance
data.
