Abstract
In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include activating, at the user equipment, positioning based on a start command received from a user plane agent via a user plane connection, wherein the start command activates positioning at the user equipment in order to provide positioning information for a minimization of drive testing processing; and sending, by the user equipment, at least one of a minimization of drive testing report and the positioning information. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

23. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a user plane agent, an indication to activate positioning at a user equipment to provide positioning information for a minimization of drive testing processing; establishing, based on the received indication, a user plane connection, between a location server and the user equipment; and sending, by the user plane agent, a start command via the user plane connection to activate the positioning at the user equipment. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
