(1) The valid requests are sent to the ALI service platform.
(2) The positioning FE will then decide, according to the positioning request and any
requirements, on the best positioning method, such as positioning switching, positioning
hybrid and USN positioning. Positioning switching, positioning hybrid and the USN
positioning functions in the positioning FE calculate the position of the sensor.
(3) According to the positioning request, the positioning results are translated into the
requested data via the coordinates adaption FE. The coordinates adaption FE sends the data
to the application support FE.
(4) The application support FE sends the data to the application.
II.3 Configuration process
Figure II.3 shows the information flow of the configuration process of the ALI system.
