SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR 5G LOCATION SUPPORT USING SERVICE BASED INTERFACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195325 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR 5G LOCATION SUPPORT USING SERVICE BASED INTERFACES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and techniques for supporting location services for user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation wireless network using a location server and service based interfaces (SBIs) and SBI service operations.

  • The location server, known as a Location Management Function (LMF), can be located in either the serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) or the Home PLMN for a roaming UE.
  • The LMF receives a location service request for the UE through an SBI and communicates with another entity in the network to obtain location information measured by that entity.
  • Based on the received location information, the LMF determines the location of the UE.

Potential Applications

  • Enhanced location-based services for mobile applications.
  • Improved emergency services, allowing accurate location information for emergency calls.
  • Efficient fleet management and asset tracking systems.

Problems Solved

  • Providing accurate and reliable location information for user equipment in a wireless network.
  • Enabling seamless location services for roaming user equipment.
  • Facilitating communication between different entities in the network to obtain location information.

Benefits

  • Enhanced user experience with more accurate and reliable location-based services.
  • Improved emergency response with precise location information for emergency calls.
  • Increased efficiency in fleet management and asset tracking systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) using a location server and service based interfaces (SBIs) and SBI service operations in a Fifth Generation wireless network. The location server may be, e.g., a Location Management Function (LMF). The LMF may be in either a serving Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) for a UE or in a Home PLMN for a roaming UE. The LMF may receive a location service request for the UE using an SBI and may communicate with another entity in the network, through a second entity and using an SBI, to obtain location information for the UE measured by the other entity. The LMF may determine a location for the UE based on the location information.
