A mobile station that is wirelessly linked to a wearable device, receives a request to initiate a location session from the wearable device, e.g., which may be in the form of an emergency call. The mobile station determines whether the location of the mobile station may be used as a location of the wearable device, e.g., by determining if the wearable device is proximate to the mobile station. For example, the mobile station may check to see if the mobile station is wirelessly linked to a wearable device through a wireless personal area network (WPAN). The mobile station initiates the location session for the wearable device with a location server. If the location of the mobile station may not be used as a location of the wearable device, the location session for the wearable device does not use position information obtained from the mobile station.
