Abstract:
Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) using a location server and service based interfaces (SBIs) and SBI service operations in a Fifth Generation wireless network. The location server may be, e.g., a Location Management Function (LMF). The LMF may be in either a serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for a UE or in a Home PLMN for a roaming UE. The LMF may receive a location service request for the UE using an SBI and may communicate with another entity in the network, through a second entity and using an SBI, to obtain location information for the UE measured by the other entity. The LMF may determine a location for the UE based on the location information.

Claim (Index 31):
A first location server for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) comprising:\n an external interface for receiving and sending messages to entities in a network; and at least one processor coupled to the external interface, the at least one processor configured to receive a location service request for the UE, wherein the location service request comprises a message for one of a Mobile Terminated Location Request (MT-LR), a Mobile Originated Location Request (MO-LR), a Network Induced Location Request (NI-LR), or a periodic and triggered MT-LR, communicate with at least one other first entity to obtain location information for the UE measured by the at least one other first entity, wherein the communication between the first location server and the at least one other first entity is transferred via a second entity; and determine a location for the UE based on the location information; wherein the first location server uses service based interfaces (SBIs) and service operations to receive the location service request and to communicate with the at least one other first entity via the second entity.
