Abstract: Techniques are disclosed in which generic position methods in a wireless network allow positioning of a target user equipment (UE) that is served by any one (or more) of a number of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and that allow measurements by the UE of access nodes belonging to different RATs and/or measurements of the UE by access nodes for different RATs. With a generic position method, a common set of procedures, messages, and parameters may be defined that are applicable to multiple RATs and that do not require a location server to know in advance the serving RAT for a target UE.

Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for supporting different location solutions in a wireless network (e.g. a 5G network) in which two different location solutions coexist in the same wireless network, and where a network operator may migrate network support from one location solution to the other. For location support of emergency calls, handover of an emergency call can be supported from a network node (e.g. an AMF) that supports one location solution to a network node (e.g. another AMF) that supports the other location solution. The handover may be supported by transferring indications of the handover between network nodes (e.g. including a GMLC, AMF and/or an LMF) to enable reconfiguration of location support for the emergency call at an LRF and GMLC from one location solution to the other.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for supporting inter-RAT mobility of a UE in an eCall-only mode. In an aspect, the UE establishes a communication session for an eCall or a test/reconfiguration call, releases the communication session for the eCall or test/reconfiguration call, starts a timer based on at least one of (i) release, by the UE, of a PS signaling connection for a UMTS access for the communication session, (ii) expiration at the UE of a READY timer for GPRS, wherein the READY timer was started by the UE following a PS handover of the communication session from an LTE access to a GSM-GPRS access, (iii) intersystem change by the UE from an LTE access to a GSM-GPRS access or a UMTS access, or (iv) intersystem change by the UE from a GSM access or a UMTS access to an LTE access, and performs an eCall inactivity procedure when the timer expires.

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: Aspects of using a small cell deployed in a vehicle are provided. For example, identifying the location of a wireless device includes enabling communication with a positioning server (e.g., enhanced serving mobile location center (E-SMLC)) in a home network using a positioning protocol, wherein the communication is enabled using a wireless backhaul connection to a serving network, receiving a location request from the positioning server for the location of the wireless device connected to the small cell and associated with an emergency call, determining location information for the wireless device, and providing, to the positioning server through the communication, the location information. The wireless backhaul connection to the serving network may be based on a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection.

Abstract: Methods and systems for adapting positioning reference signal (PRS) transmissions are disclosed. A server receives a request to support an emergency call associated with a user equipment (UE) and sends a first PRS schedule to a first base station, the first PRS schedule configured to enable the first base station to switch to a first emergency PRS mode and to transmit PRS signals according to the first PRS schedule. The base station establishes a PRS schedule, switches to an emergency PRS mode, and transmits PRS signals in accordance with the PRS schedule. A UE initiates an emergency call, receives positioning assistance data from a server, performs terrestrial radio location positioning measurements based on the received positioning assistance data, and provides the terrestrial radio location positioning measurements or a location computed from these measurements to the server.
