Abstract:
The present invention proposes a method and apparatus for locating and assistant locating in PHS Network, which uses PHS Packet IP connection to provide real time location services to all mobile stations. In the present invention, the location services use PHS Packet IP connection without voice circuit occupation and more importantly, the present invention provides real time location services to all PHS Packet subscribers. Base on this invention, the CSID and Geographic Information which includes but not limited to the information of longitude and latitude will be transmitted upon PHS Packet IP connection from end to end. Moreover, the present invention could provide more attractive location based services (like real time tracing, navigation, etc.)
