Methods and techniques are described for reducing end-to-end latency in a location determination of a user equipment (UE). Location requests from an external client for a UE may be supported using control plane signaling and may be performed only once or infrequently. Location reports to the external client may be supported with user plane signaling to minimize delay. A controlling entity for location of the UE may be part of a Radio Access Network (RAN) to further reduce delay and may be changed to a new controlling entity in the RAN and/or may reconfigure location measurements for the UE when the UE moves to a new serving cell or new serving base station.
