In a location reporting notification method regarding user equipment (UE) moving from an area served by a first mobility management network element (MMNE) to another area served by a second MMNE, the second MMNE receives from the first MMNE a current value of a first timer regarding the UE, wherein the first timer is maintained by the first MMNE. The second MMNE starts a second timer regarding the UE, and setting an initial value of the second timer to be the current value of the first timer. When the second MMNE detects a current location of the UE, it sends a reporting notification including information regarding the current location to a service capability exposure function when the second timer expires.
