    Abstract: A communication system (100) comprises a plurality of mobile stations (118, 124) each operable to communicate with other communication stations by a wireless communications network, at least one location indicator (116) operable to detect by a short range wireless link a location of at least one (118) of the mobile stations when the at least one mobile station is within a communication range of the location indicator, at least one proxy location server (110) operably coupled to at least one associated location indicator (116), and a location server (108) operable to communicate with the at least one proxy location server to receive a notification of the location of the at least one mobile station (118) when detected to be within communication range of the associated location indicator (116). Location data may be sent to the mobile station, or another mobile station can request the location of the mobile station. An emergency message may be conveyed to a mobile station or a location query may be sent.
