A method of providing positioning services in a wireless communication network that includes a positioning node that Is configured to provide positioning Information for a user equipment according to a selected positioning sequence, wherein different positioning sequences available at the positioning node offer different positioning response times or Quality-of-Service, wherein said method comprising: maintaining at a node in the wireless communication network an extended set of client types or service types corresponding to a plurality of different types of commercial location-based services, wherein the different types of commercial location-based services are distinguished in terms of their location QoS criteria; receiving a positioning request at said node for locating a user equipment; wherein said method is characterized by: mapping the positioning request to one of the extended client or service types corresponding to the particular type of commercial location-based service associated with the positioning request; wherein the mapping comprises evaluating one or more data items received In or associated with the positioning request, to determine which client or service type from the extended set of client or service types best complements the positioning request; and signaling, based on the mapping, at least one of the following in a positioning request to the positioning node; the extended client or service type; location QoS criteria that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type; or a specific positioning sequence that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type. maintaining at a node in the wireless communication network an extended set of client types or service types corresponding to a plurality of different types of commercial location-based services, wherein the different types of commercial location-based services are distinguished in terms of their location QoS criteria; receiving a positioning request at said node for locating a user equipment; wherein said method is characterized by: mapping the positioning request to one of the extended client or service types corresponding to the particular type of commercial location-based service associated with the positioning request; wherein the mapping comprises evaluating one or more data items received In or associated with the positioning request, to determine which client or service type from the extended set of client or service types best complements the positioning request; and signaling, based on the mapping, at least one of the following in a positioning request to the positioning node; the extended client or service type; location QoS criteria that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type; or a specific positioning sequence that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type. mapping the positioning request to one of the extended client or service types corresponding to the particular type of commercial location-based service associated with the positioning request; wherein the mapping comprises evaluating one or more data items received In or associated with the positioning request, to determine which client or service type from the extended set of client or service types best complements the positioning request; and signaling, based on the mapping, at least one of the following in a positioning request to the positioning node; the extended client or service type; location QoS criteria that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type; or a specific positioning sequence that is mapped by the node to the extended client or service type.
