METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF A RECEIVER FOR LOCATION INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A radio network controller (RNC) in a mobile telecommunication network operating according to Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) specification, the telecommunication network comprising at least one control node for handling location service requests for a user equipment, the RNC comprising:
- receiving circuitry, adapted to receive from the at least one control node a LOCATION—
REPORTING—
CONTROL message, comprising a request type information element for indicating the type of location request; and
at least one processor, adapted to analyze a value of the request type information element received in the LOCATION—
REPORTING—
CONTROL message, whereinif the request type information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message, the at least one processor causes the RNC to directly determine the requested location information; and
if the request type information element indicates sending location information at a change of service area by the user equipment, the at least one processor causes the RNC to determine the requested location information if the user equipment changes the service area; and
sending circuitry, adapted to send a LOCATION_REPORT message comprising the location information and the request type information element to the at least one control node for handling location service requests.

Abstract
The invention relates to a radio network controller (RNC) for receiving a LOCATION— REPORTING— CONTROL message and analyzing a value of a request type information element received in the LOCATION— REPORTING— CONTROL message. The RNC directly determines requested location information for a user equipment (UE) if the request information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION— REPORTING— CONTROL message or the RNC determines the requested location information if the UE changes the service area if the request information element indicates sending location information at a change of service area by the UE. The RNC then sends a LOCATION— REPORT message comprising the location information and the request type information element to at least one control node.
