SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELECTION OF POSITIONING BASED ON USER EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS: abstract simplified (18020016)

Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE). The UE evaluates available positioning methods based on certain criteria to determine a prioritized positioning method. It then provides an indication of the prioritized positioning method to a location server. The UE may also provide an indication of the criteria used in determining the priority. The UE can send this indication before or after performing the positioning measurements. The location server can accept or reject the prioritized positioning method. The location server may use the prioritized positioning method and criteria in subsequent positioning requests for the UE.
