Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory comprising computer program code, the memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to, indicate that the apparatus is capable of using stand alone assisted global positioning system; receive a control plane request for location information, wherein the control plane request is based on the user equipment capability to use stand alone assisted global positioning system; detect whether user plane data is required to provide the requested location information; activate a process to determine the user plane data in response to detection that user plane data is required; process information regarding the geographical location of the apparatus; and communicate the user plane data associated with a service request, wherein the data associates with provisioning of information regarding the geographical location of the apparatus, wherein if a user plane address is provided to the apparatus in the control plane request, the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to communicate data associated with the requested service via a user plane connection using said user plane address, and if no user plane address is provided to the apparatus in the control plane request, the memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to communicate data associated with the requested service via a user plane connection established for providing the requested service.
