Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for providing location services for user equipment (UE) devices in a radio access network (RAN) such as a Fifth Generation (5G) RAN. Location services may be supported by separate positioning domains that may include a Device to Device domain, a RAN domain and a core network (CN) domain. The RAN domain may include a location server function (LSF) that may support positioning services autonomously within the RAN or in collaboration with a D2D or CN domain. The CN domain may include a location server (LS) that may support control plane and/or user plane location. The RAN domain may enable high volume and low latency location service whereas the CN domain may enable high accuracy service and services for external clients.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of locating a user equipment (UE) at a location server associated with a radio access network, comprising:\n exchanging one or more first signaling messages with the UE, the one or more first signaling messages comprising: (i) a location measurement obtained by the UE, the location server enabled to determine a location estimate for the UE based at least in part on the location measurement; (ii) a request sent to the UE for the location measurement; (iii) assistance data sent to the UE, the assistance data assisting the UE to obtain the location measurement; or (iv) a combination thereof; and exchanging one or more second signaling messages with a location server associated with a core network, the one or more second signaling messages comprising location information for the UE, a request for the location information for the UE, a location configuration for the UE, a request for the location configuration for the UE, a location context for the UE, a request for the location context for the UE, or a combination thereof.
