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.

7. 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:
-
at least one processor; and memory containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the RNC 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 analyze a value of the request type information element received in the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message, wherein if the request type information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message, the RNC directly determines 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 RNC determines the requested location information if the user equipment changes the service area; and 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. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
