20100279727 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IDENTIFYING TRANSMITTERS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING POWER PREDICTIONS - Identification of transmitters for signals received by a terminal To determine the transmitter of a given received signal, a list of candidate transmitters that may have transmitted that signal is determined A coverage zone to use for the received signal is also determined This coverage zone is the area where the terminal may receive the signal being identified. The predicted power for each candidate transmitter is then determined, e.g., using a path loss prediction model and the coverage zone. The predicted powers for the candidate transmitters are compared (directly or relatively) against the measured power of the received signal. The candidate transmitter with (direct/relative) predicted power closest to the (direct/relative) measured power is deemed as the one that transmitted the signal. Propagation delays may also be predicted and used for transmitter identification. The identified transmitters may be used to determine a position estimate for the terminal | 11-04-2010 |

20140080523 | Method and apparatus for performing session info query for user plane location - Techniques for querying for information on location sessions in a user plane location architecture are described. In an aspect, a location server may send a query message to a terminal to query for information on active location sessions, e.g., when at least one location session for periodic triggered service or area event triggered service is deemed to be active. The terminal may return a response message containing a list of session identifiers (IDs) for the active location sessions, parameters for the active location sessions, capabilities of the terminal, etc. The location server may compare the information received from the terminal and information stored at the location server. The location server may terminate each location session deemed to be active at only the terminal or only the location server. The location server may restart or terminate each location session having inconsistent parameters at the terminal and the location server. | 03-20-2014 |
20140155101 | POSITION LOCATION MESSAGE FLOWS - Techniques for initiating and, if desired, modifying location services for Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) and other location architectures are described. To initiate SUPL service, a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) transmits a SUPL initial session message applicable to any service request to a SUPL enabled terminal (SET) and receives in response the service capabilities of the SET. The SLP selects and requests service from the SET consistent with the service capabilities of the SET. The SET may initiate SUPL service by requesting the service capabilities of the SLP. The SET selects and requests service from the SLP that is consistent with the service capabilities received from the SLP. The SET and SLP communicate to determine a position estimate for the SET. The service may be modified before or while communicating between the SET and the SLP to determine a position estimate for the SET. | 06-05-2014 |
20140256282 | Localized Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Emergency Session - 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. | 09-11-2014 |
20140256283 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING USER PLANE OR CONTROL PLANE POSITION SERVICES - A dual SIM mobile terminal, such as a Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) mobile terminal, connects to a network and performs a user plane or control plane positioning session through the network. When the positioning session is originated by the mobile terminal, either SIM card may be used to connect to its associated network. When the positioning session is originated by another entity in the network, either SIM card may be used for the positioning session. When the mobile terminal connects to a network for an emergency call using either SIM card and an emergency positioning session is performed through the network, the emergency positioning session is permitted only during the emergency call and an emergency callback period and permitted only on a subscription on which the emergency call originated, and no non-emergency positioning sessions with either SIM card is permitted during the emergency positioning session or emergency call. | 09-11-2014 |

A method as described herein includes receiving, at a base station over a wireless communication link, a first message from a mobile station, wherein the first message comprises a first field identifying requested assistance data associated with a first Satellite Positioning System (SPS) and a second field identifying a requested format of the requested assistance data, and wherein the requested assistance data are available in a plurality of formats that includes the requested format; and transmitting a second message from the base station to the mobile station over the wireless communication link, wherein the second message includes the requested assistance data in the requested format. | 10-09-2014 |
20140342751 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USING HISTORIC NETWORK INFORMATION FOR DETERMINING APPROXIMATE POSITION - Systems and techniques to determine an approximate location for a mobile device using historic location information. In an aspect, a SUPL Location Platform (SLP), which is a location server in SUPL, may receive data from SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET). The data may include the Multiple Location IDs Parameter. The real time Location ID Parameter may not have a current status. The SLP may determine an approximate position for the SET based on the Multiple Location IDs Parameter data received from the SET. The SLP may then send the approximate position to the SET or a SUPL Agent, or may use the approximate position information in another way. | 11-20-2014 |
