Abstract
There is disclosed a method of providing location information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving a request for a current location of a mobile station; determining a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined; comparing the time to a threshold time limit; and providing, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit.

29. A method of providing location information in a mobile communication system, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request for a current location of a mobile station;
determining a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined;
comparing the time to a threshold time limit; and
, in response to the said step of comparing, providing, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
