SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERIODIC AND TRIGGERED EVENT REPORTING VIA USER PLANE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18311877 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERIODIC AND TRIGGERED EVENT REPORTING VIA USER PLANE

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes methods and devices for reducing the time it takes to determine the location of a user equipment (UE).

  • The location requests for a UE from an external client can be supported using control plane signaling.
  • To minimize delay, the location reports to the external client can be supported with user plane signaling.
  • The location information can be sent directly to the external client or through a Location Management Function (LMF) or Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC).
  • If the LMF or GMLC receives a location report from the UE, it can send the report to the external client using user plane signaling.
  • A periodic or triggered cumulative event report can be sent to the LMF, GMLC, or external client using control plane signaling to confirm the ongoing location request.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods and apparatus are described for reducing end-to-end latency for location determination of a user equipment (UE). Location requests from an external client for a UE may be supported using control plane signaling. Location reports to the external client may be supported with user plane signaling to minimize delay. An event report with location information may be sent using user plane signaling to the external client (or Application Function) directly or via a Location Management Function (LMF) or Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) or via both the LMF and GMLC. If the LMF or GMLC receive an event report from the UE, the LMF or GMLC may send the event report to the external client with user plane signaling. A periodic or triggered cumulative event report may be sent to the LMF, GMLC or external client using control plane signaling to confirm the periodic or triggered location request remains operational.
