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 supporting location services at a user equipment (UE), comprising:\n exchanging one or more first signaling messages with a location server associated with a radio access network, wherein the radio access network comprises a first positioning domain to utilize a first protocol, the one or more first signaling messages comprising: (i) a first location measurement obtained by the UE, the location server enabled to determine an estimate location of the UE based at least in part on the first location measurement; (ii) a request received by the UE for the first location measurement; (iii) first assistance data received by the UE, the first assistance data assisting the UE to obtain the first location measurement; or (iv) a combination thereof; and exchanging one or more second signaling messages with a location server associated with a core network, wherein the core network comprises a second positioning domain to utilize a second protocol distinct from the first protocol, the one or more second signaling message comprising a second location measurement obtained by the UE, a request received by the UE for the second location measurement, second assistance data received by the UE, the second assistance data assisting the UE to obtain the second location measurement, or a combination thereof.
