Abstract: Techniques for supporting positioning for terminals in a wireless network are described. In an aspect, positioning may be supported by a location server that can reside in different entities. In one design, the location server may obtain positioning information (e.g., measurements) for a target device via a common positioning protocol. The location server may use the common positioning protocol regardless of where it resides and may communicate with other entities via this protocol. The location server may determine location information (e.g., a location estimate) for the target device based on the positioning information. In another aspect, positioning may be supported by transporting multiple positioning messages together. In yet another aspect, positioning may be supported by transporting a positioning message containing multiple parts defined by different organizations. In yet another aspect, positioning may be supported with shared measurement data units and/or shared assistance data units that may be applicable for different positioning methods.

Abstract: EXTENDED CAPABILITY TRANSFER BETWEEN A USER EQUIPMENT AND A WIRELESS NETWORK 100881 TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSFERRING NEW CAPABILITY INFORMATION IN AN EFFICIENT AND 5 BACKWARD COMPATIBLE MANNER ARE DESCRIBED. A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) MAY SEND A NEW CAPABILITY INDICATOR TO A WIRELESS NETWORK TO INDICATE THAT THE UE HAS NEW CAPABILITY INFORMATION TO SEND. THIS NEW CAPABILITY INDICATOR MAY BE IMPLEMENTED WITH A SPARE BIT IN AN INFORMATION ELEMENT INCLUDED IN AN INITIAL MESSAGE SENT TO THE NETWORK. THE NETWORK MAY REQUEST FOR THE INFORMATION OR INDICATE THAT IT CAN RECEIVE THE INFORMATION. 10 THE UE MAY THEN SEND THE NEW CAPABILITY INFORMATION TO THE NETWORK UPON RECEIVING THE REQUEST OR THE INDICATION. ALTERNATIVELY, THE NETWORK MAY CONVEY THAT IT SUPPORTS TRANSFER OF NEW CAPABILITY INFORMATION, E.G., VIA A BROADCAST MESSAGE OR A UNICAST MESSAGE. THE UE MAY THEN SEND NEW CAPABILITY INFORMATION AT ANY TIME TO THE NETWORK, WITHOUT HAVING TO SEND THE NEW CAPABILITY INDICATOR. 15

Abstract: Techniques for transporting messages for location services (LCS) are described. A Mobility Management Entity (MME) may have a location session with an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) to provide location services for a User Equipment (UE). The UE may exchange LCS-related messages with the E-SMLC to obtain location services. In an aspect, LCS-related messages exchanged between the UE and the E-SMLC may be encapsulated in Non-Access Stratum (NAS) messages and transported via the MME and a base station. In another aspect, a routing identifier (ID) may be used to associate messages exchanged between the UE and the MME with the location session between the MME and the E-SMLC for the UE. Each NAS message exchanged between the MME and the UE may include the routing ID, which may enable the MME to associate each NAS message from the UE with the location session between the MME and the E-SMLC.

Abstract: Techniques for transferring new capability information in an efficient and backward compatible manner are described. A user equipment (UE) may send a new capability indicator to a wireless network to indicate that the UE has new capability information to send. This new capability indicator may be implemented with a spare bit in an information element included in an initial message sent to the network. The network may request for the information or indicate that it can receive the information. The UE may then send the new capability information to the network upon receiving the request or the indication. Alternatively, the network may convey that it supports transfer of new capability information, e.g., via a broadcast message or a unicast message. The UE may then send new capability information at any time to the network, without having to send the new capability indicator.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting triggered location services are described. In one design, at least one location related measurement for a terminal may be obtained and used to detect for a trigger event. For an equidistance triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the distance traveled by the terminal exceeds a predefined distance. For a relative terminal to terminal triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the terminal is inside or outside, or enters, or leaves a moving geographical target area defined by a reference terminal. For a velocity triggered service, a trigger event may be declared if the maximum velocity of the terminal exceeds a predefined velocity. For a time-distance-velocity combination triggered service, a trigger event may be declared based on distance traveled by the terminal, velocity of the terminal, and time since the last report. For all services, a report may be sent if a trigger event has occurred.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting eCalls are described. In an aspect, an eCall indicator may be used to indicate an eCall being established. In one design, a terminal may generate a message including an eCall indicator and may send the message to originate an eCall. The eCall indicator may indicate (i) whether or not a call is an eCall or (ii) whether an eCall is initiated automatically by the terminal or manually by a user. In another aspect, a terminal may avoid sending signaling for mobility management and connection management to wireless networks except for eCalls and designated calls. The terminal may avoid performing location updating, performing registration, responding to paging requests, etc. The terminal may exchange signaling with a wireless network for an eCall initiated by the terminal. After the eCall is initiated, the terminal may perform location updating with the wireless network and call establishment for the eCall.
