69. A method of providing a secure user plane location (SUPL) service by interworking between a mobile communication network and a wireless local area network (WLAN), wherein the mobile communication network includes an access point, a storage unit and a location server and wherein an IP connection is established between a WLAN terminal and the location server through the access point, the method comprising:
-
requesting, by the location server, serving node routing information from the storage unit in response to a client'"'"'s location information request;
receiving, by the location server, the requested serving node routing information from the database;
requesting, by the location server to the authentication server, target terminal routing information using in part the received serving node routing information;
receiving, by the location server, the target terminal routing information from the authentication server; and
performing, by the location server, a SUPL procedure with the WLAN terminal using in part the received target terminal routing information through the established IP connection, so as to obtain location information of the WLAN terminal. - View Dependent Claims (70, 71)
