Abstract:
Techniques for supporting periodic and other location services with Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) and other location architectures are described. The techniques can provide position estimates for a SUPL enabled terminal (SET) to a SUPL agent periodically and/or based on trigger events. A Home SUPL Location Platform (H-SLP) receives from the SUPL agent a request for position estimates for the SET. The H-SLP starts a SUPL location session with the SET. For each of at least one reporting event during the location session, the H-SLP obtains a position estimate for the SET and sends the position estimate to the SUPL agent. The position estimate may be derived by the SET and sent to the H-SLP. Alternatively, the position estimate may be derived by the H-SLP based on measurements from the SET.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for a Localized Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Emergency Session are presented. In some embodiments, a method for a localized Secure User Plane Location Emergency Session includes, receiving a Secure User Plane Location Initiation Message at a mobile device; determining whether an emergency indicator in the Secure User Plane Location Initiation Message is set to TRUE; determining a Mobile Country Code associated with the radio access network currently used by the mobile device; determining a requirement for an Emergency Secure User Plane Location Session in a jurisdiction associated with the Mobile Country Code; and establishing a Secure User Plane Location Session with a Secure User Plane Location Platform server.
Abstract:
Techniques for supporting location services with a streamlined location service layer are described. In one design, a terminal may receive a location service request from an application that is internal or external to the terminal. The terminal may exchange at least one message with a location server to establish an extended location session of a particular duration via the streamlined location service layer. The terminal can thereafter obtain location service from the location server at any time within the particular duration of the extended location session, e.g., whenever a location request is received from the application. The terminal may obtain location service any number of times and at any time during the extended location session. The terminal or application may emulate a more complex location service based on location information received from all of the times in which location service is obtained by the terminal.

Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods for reducing a long list of access points (APs) to a short list of access points are presented. Advantageously, a mobile device only need to search for access points on the short list thereby more quickly discovering access points, saving battery power, determining a position fix based on the discovered access points, and reducing a time to fix. Embodiments enable a mobile device to determine which access points should be detectable at a new location of the mobile device. Various embodiments comprise: (1) a linked database; (2) a grouped database; (3) an associated database; and (4) database feedback.
