Filtering Location Notifications in
the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Abstract
This document describes filters that limit asynchronous location
notifications to compelling events. These filters are designed as an
extension to RFC 4661, an XML-based format for event notification
filtering, and based on RFC 3856, the SIP presence event package.
The resulting location information is conveyed in existing location
formats wrapped in the Presence Information Data Format Location
Object (PIDF-LO).

RFC 6447 Location Filters January 2012
1. Introduction
Conveying location information encapsulated with a Presence
Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO) [RFC4119] document
within SIP is described in [SIP-LOC]. An alternative signaling
approach to location conveyance, which uses asynchronous
communication, is available with the SIP event notification
mechanisms (see RFC 3265 [RFC3265]). This approach conveys location
information in PIDF-LO format using the presence event package
[RFC3856]. This document focuses on the event notification paradigm.
Determining when to send event notifications with location
information is technically more challenging than deciding when to
