Providing location information
First Claim
1. A method in association with a communication system for providing location information, the method comprising:
- signaling a request for a connection between user equipment and another party;
analyzing the requested connection;
detecting whether location information is required in association with the requested connection;
activating a process for determining information about a location of the user equipment;
communicating first information in association with the determining process on a control plane between the user equipment and the communication system; and
communicating second information in association with the determining process on a user plane between the user equipment and the communication system.

Abstract
In a method in association with a communication system a request for a connection is signaled between a user equipment and another party. The requested connection is then analyzed. Subsequent to detection that location information is required in association with the requested connection, a process for determining information about the location of the user equipment is activated. First information in association with the determining process is communicated on a control plane between the user equipment and the communication system, while second information in association with the determining process is communicated on a user plane between the user equipment and the communication system. An arrangement in association with location services and a user equipment capable of providing location information is also disclosed.
