Abstract:
Methods and techniques are described for supporting different location solutions in a wireless network (e.g. a 5G network) in which two different location solutions coexist in the same wireless network, and where a network operator may migrate network support from one location solution to the other. For location support of emergency calls, handover of an emergency call can be supported from a network node (e.g. an AMF) that supports one location solution to a network node (e.g. another AMF) that supports the other location solution. The handover may be supported by transferring indications of the handover between network nodes (e.g. including a GMLC, AMF and/or an LMF) to enable reconfiguration of location support for the emergency call at an LRF and GMLC from one location solution to the other.
