20. A server in a wireless communication network, the server operable to receive and forward data from a mobile station to a Position Determining Entity (PDE), the server comprising at least one of:
-
a subscriber database including information regarding whether the mobile station is permitted to make PDE requests, the information used by the server to determine whether to forward the data to the PDE; and a network information database including information regarding characteristics of the wireless communication network, the information used by the server to determine an appropriate PDE to forward the data to based on a network in which a mobile station is roaming.
