Method and apparatus for performing position determination with pre-session action
First Claim
1. A method of performance testing of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, in the UE from a network prior to performing a position fix at the UE, a test-related command that indicates selected location-related data to be cleared from at least a portion of a memory in the UE containing the selected location-related data;
in response to receiving the test-related command, clearing the selected location-related data indicated by the test-related command at the UE from the portion of the memory in the UE containing the selected location-related data, thereby causing said portion of the memory to reset to a known state;
receiving, in the UE from the network, updated location-related data;
storing the updated location-related data in said portion of the memory; and
performing the position fix with the updated location-related data.

Abstract
A network sends to a user equipment (UE) an indication (e.g., a request for permission) to perform a position fix for the UE. The network also selectively sends to the UE a pre-session command for an action related to position determination. For example, the command may direct the UE to (1) clear all or a portion of location-related data at the UE prior to performing the position fix, (2) send back a position estimate for the UE, if available, or (3) apply a time offset and/or a position offset in performing the position fix. The UE sends to the network an acknowledgment (e.g., a grant of permission) to perform the position fix. The UE also performs the action indicated by the command (if any) received from the network prior to or in conjunction with performing the position fix. The network and UE perform the position fix for the UE.

10. An apparatus for performance testing of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; a receiver configured to receive, from a network, a test-related command that indicates selected location-related data to be cleared from at least a portion of the memory and to receive updated location-related data from the network; and a processor configured to perform a position fix for the UE and to respond to receiving the test-related command at the receiver prior to performing the position fix by clearing the selected location-related data at the UE from said portion of the memory containing the selected location-related data, thereby causing said portion of the memory to reset to a known state, instructing the receiver to receive the updated location-related data, and storing the updated location-related data in said portion of the memory. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. An apparatus for performance testing of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
-
means for receiving, from a network prior to performing a position fix for the UE, a test-related command that indicates selected location-related data to be cleared from at least a portion of a memory in the UE containing the selected location-related data; means, responsive to said test-related command, for clearing the selected location-related data at the UE from said portion of the memory in the UE containing the selected location-related data, thereby causing said portion of the memory to reset to a known state; means for receiving, from the network, updated location-related data; means for storing the updated location-related data in said portion of the memory; and means for performing the position fix for the UE with the updated location-related data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. An article comprising a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed by a processor, enable performance testing of a user equipment (UE), the instructions comprising:
-
code to cause the processor to receive a test-related command from a network prior to performing a position fix for the UE, wherein the test-related command indicates selected location-related data to be cleared from at least a portion of a memory in the UE containing the selected location-related data; code to cause the processor to clear, in response to the test-related command, said selected location-related data at the UE from said portion of the memory containing the selected location-related data, thereby causing said portion of the memory to reset to a known state; code to cause the processor to receive updated location-related data from the network; code to cause the processor to store the updated location-related data in said portion of the memory; and code to cause the processor to perform the position fix for the UE with the updated location-related data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
