        Request to retrieve the location of a device. Device is not required

          description: >-

            location retrieval (in seconds). Absence of maxAge means "any age"
            and maxAge=0 means a fresh calculation.
    Device:

        End-user equipment able to connect to a mobile network. Examples of
        devices include smartphones or IoT sensors/actuators.


        The developer can choose to provide the below specified device
        identifiers:


        * `ipv4Address`

        * `ipv6Address`

        * `phoneNumber`

        * `networkAccessIdentifier`


        NOTE1: the MNO might support only a subset of these options. The API
        invoker can provide multiple identifiers to be compatible across
        different MNOs. In this case the identifiers MUST belong to the same
        device

        NOTE2: for the Commonalities release v0.4, we are enforcing that the
        networkAccessIdentifier is only part of the schema for future-proofing,
        and CAMARA does not currently allow its use. After the CAMARA
        meta-release work is concluded and the relevant issues are resolved, its
        use will need to be explicitly documented in the guidelines.

    PhoneNumber:
      description: >-
        A public identifier addressing a telephone subscription. In mobile
        networks it corresponds to the MSISDN (Mobile Station International
        Subscriber Directory Number). In order to be globally unique it has to
        be formatted in international format, according to E.164 standard,
        prefixed with '+'.
      type: string
      pattern: ^\+[1-9][0-9]{4,14}$
      example: '+123456789'
    NetworkAccessIdentifier:
      description: >-
        A public identifier addressing a subscription in a mobile network. In
        3GPP terminology, it corresponds to the GPSI formatted with the External
        Identifier ({Local Identifier}@{Domain Identifier}). Unlike the
        telephone number, the network access identifier is not subjected to
        portability ruling in force, and is individually managed by each
        operator.

    DeviceIpv4Addr:
      type: object
      description: >
        The device should be identified by either the public (observed) IP
        address and port as seen by the application server, or the private
        (local) and any public (observed) IP addresses in use by the device
        (this information can be obtained by various means, for example from
        some DNS servers).


        If the allocated and observed IP addresses are the same (i.e. NAT is not
        in use) then  the same address should be specified for both
        publicAddress and privateAddress.


        If NAT64 is in use, the device should be identified by its publicAddress
        and publicPort, or separately by its allocated IPv6 address (field
        ipv6Address of the Device object)


        In all cases, publicAddress must be specified, along with at least one
        of either privateAddress or publicPort, dependent upon which is known.
        In general, mobile devices cannot be identified by their public IPv4
        address alone.
