    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing support for location and emergency calls for an over-the-top (OTT) service provider (SP) are disclosed. An access network node receives a first message from a UE, determines a location reference for the UE, and sends a second message including the location reference to the UE. The access network node may determine the location reference itself on behalf of a location server or may request the location server to assign and return the location reference. The access network node may serve as a proxy and avoid interaction between the UE and the location server. The location server may later receive a location request for the UE from a network entity wherein the location request includes the location reference. The location server may locate the UE using the location reference and return the UE location to the network entity.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for supporting location and emergency calls for an over-the-top (OTT) service provider are disclosed. A UE may send a request for an emergency call to an OTT service provider and may include in the request mobile network operator (MNO) data for a serving MNO for the UE. The OTT service provider may forward the emergency call request to an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The IMS may determine routing information for the emergency call and either return the routing information to the OTT service provider to enable the OTT service provider to route the emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP) or may route the emergency call itself to the PSAP. The call request routed by the IMS or by the OTT service provider may include a reference identifier that may enable the PSAP to obtain a location for the UE from the IMS.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication to enable a UE to establish emergency services (e.g., IMS emergency calls) over WLAN (e.g., Wi-Fi) in 3GPP networks. Such mechanisms may help ensure that an ePDG capable of supporting emergency services is selected. Further, such mechanisms may help ensure that an appropriately located ePDG is selected. For example, the selected ePDG may be located in the visiting public land mobile network (VPLMN) for a roaming UE so that IMS emergency calls are routed appropriately. Selection of the ePDG may be under control of the network with which the UE is establishing connectivity for the emergency call, namely the VPLMN, as opposed to the home PLMN (HPLMN), for example. Such mechanisms may rely on knowledge that the connectivity being established is for emergency services, as well as other information regarding the UE, such as a current location of the UE.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for discovering a local location server associated with a local provider based on a relationship between the local provider and another regional/global provider. A mobile device discovers the local provider and queries a home location server which returns the address of a regional/global location server associated with the regional/global provider. A mobile device then queries the regional/global location server to discover the local location server and may then access the local location server to obtain location services. The method may be employed with the OMA SUPL location solution wherein the home location server may be an H SLP and the local and regional/global location servers may be D SLPs.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for supporting positioning operations in a cellular communication network including locating a mobile device in response to an emergency event. In one particular implementation, a first position fix may be provided quickly by a mobile device and may be followed by a second, more accurate, position fix at a later time. In particular implementations, the first and second position fixes may be provided using the 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) as part of a single LPP transaction and may further be provided using a user plane or control plane location solution.

    Abstract: Various systems methods apparatuses and computer readable media for communicating from device to device are described. Device to Device (D2D) communication may bypass use of a network when devices are in communicable proximity of each other. Knowledge of the relative locations of devices that either are already in D2D mode or are not yet in D2D mode but are capable of using D2D mode may be useful. Therefore various techniques are described for determining distance between two or more devices. Relative locations may also be used to determine the proximity of two devices for some proximity service of common interest.

    Abstract: Systems methods apparatuses and computer readable media for providing radio frequency interference (RFI) awareness assistance data to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers are described. In some embodiments a first method includes receiving at a location server RFI situational information. The first method further includes maintaining at least one time and location dependent database of an RFI situation. The first method further includes sending at least one assistance data message to at least one receiver including the RFI situational information. In another embodiment a second method includes receiving RFI awareness assistance data from a location server. The second method further includes adapting a position location measurement according to the received RFI awareness assistance data. The second method further includes calculating a location of the receiver based at least in part on the adapted position location measurement.

    Abstract: Técnicas para seleccionar los protocolos de posicionamiento consistentes con las capacidades del servidor de ubicación en un servicio basado en la Localización Segura en el Plano de Usuario (SUPL). La plataforma de localización SUPL (SLP) transmite las capacidades del servicio de la SLP, tal como las capacidades del protocolo de posicionamiento de la SLP. La SLP transmite sus capacidades de la SLP en un mensaje de iniciación al terminal habilitado para SUPL (SET) o después de recibir un mensaje de iniciación del SET. El SET puede transmitir un mensaje de iniciación de posicionamiento y la SLP y el SET se comunican para determinar uno o más estimados de posición para el SET. El SET puede incluir en el mensaje de iniciación de posicionamiento un mensaje del protocolo de posicionamiento que es consistente con las capacidades del servicio de la SLP.
