Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for processing positioning triggers for batch location requests in a location services system. A location authority transmits a batch location request to a positioning gateway which forwards requests to arm or disarm positioning triggers associated with particular subscribers. The positioning trigger associated with the batch location request is added or removed from the HLR record of the subscriber. Next, the positioning trigger is either armed or disarmed at the MSC/VLR of the subscriber.
