METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM FOR GATHERING USER EQUIPMENT LOCATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for gathering user equipment (UE) location information from a radio access network (RAN), the method comprises:
- intercepting a UE location message sent from the RAN towards a core network element configured to process UE location messages, wherein the intercepting is executed by an intermediate entity positioned between the RAN and the core network element;
extracting UE location information from the UE location message; and
preventing the core network element from receiving the location information embedded in the UE location message.
