摘要： Techniques for configuring a Home evolved Node B (HeNB) in a location server and positioning the HeNB are disclosed. In one aspect, location for a HeNB is supported based on LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) messages. The HeNB communicates LPP messages with a location server. These LPP messages are terminated at the HeNB instead of a UE. At least one location transaction for the HeNB can be performed to configure in the location server and/or locate the HeNB based on the LPP messages. In another aspect, location for a HeNB is supported based on an embedded UE in the HeNB. The HeNB establishes a location session with a location server based on an embedded UE ID, which is assigned to the HeNB and recognized by the location server as being for a HeNB instead of a UE. At least one location transaction for the HeNB is performed during the location session.

摘要： The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for negotiating a version of Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) between a network entity and a SUPL enabled terminal. In a particular implementation, a SUPL initiation message is transmitted from a network entity to a SUPL entity, where the SUPL initiation message identifies a plurality of SUPL versions capable of supporting a desired service. A response is received from the SUPL entity that is based, at least in part, on an ability of the SUPL entity to support at least one of the plurality of versions.

摘要： A system and method are disclosed to support Voice Call Continuity (VCC) for emergency calls. The system includes a VCC Application in a visited internet-protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) to facilitate domain transfers between the IMS subsystem and a circuit-switched (CS) subsystem. The system further includes an emergency call session control function (E-CSCF) subsystem in the visited IMS subsystem that is operatively coupled to the VCC Application to facilitate domain transfers between the IMS subsystem and the CS subsystem.

摘要： An apparatus and method for determining a position of a mobile station based on terrestrial assistance data from a first wireless network to which the mobile station is not attached. That is, the mobile station is able to receive terrestrial assistance from a first wireless network and use the terrestrial assistance data to obtain location information, such as timing measurements, from the first wireless network and determine its position while not attached to the first wireless network. The first wireless network may be a network to which the mobile station is subscribed and can attach.

摘要： Techniques for maintaining location continuity for a user equipment (UE) following handover are described. The UE communicates with a first radio access network (RAN) and is served by a source serving node and a source location server prior to handover. The UE communicates with a second RAN and is served by a target serving node and a target location server after the handover. In an aspect, location continuity may be maintained for the UE by transferring an identity of the target serving node to a location server during handover of the UE. In one design, the target serving node sends its identity to the target location server, which updates a Location and Routing Function (LRF) serving the UE. In another design, for handover from packet-switched domain to circuit-switched domain, the source serving node sends the target serving node identity to the source location server, which updates the LRF.
