Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 A simplified general purpose wireless communication system 100 that may be suitable for testing location services is illustrated. Such as figure 1 As shown in , a mobile station (MS) 110 communicates with one or more base transceiver stations (BTS) 122,124 via wireless links 152,154. Each BTS provides coverage (or service) to a geographic area commonly referred to as a "cell." Although two BTSs are illustrated, location services to MS 110 may be provided to MS 110 with only one BTS, or with three or more BTSs, depending on the location mechanism used. Positioning mechanisms may include uplink Time of Arrival (TOA), Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD), and AGPS, as described in the 3GPP TS 03.71 V8.7.0 reference incorporated herein. Both TOA and E-OTD need to exchange signals between MS and multiple BTSs.

[0019] According to the present teachings, MS 110 may include, without limitation, a wireless telephone, a wireless communication capable personal ...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for conveying the identity of an MS (110) to a stand-alone Serving Mobile Location Center (SMLC) (130) are described. In one exemplary embodiment, an MS (110) is configured to encode a unique MS identifier (MS ID), such as and International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), in an extension container, which is an optional information element defined by Radio Resource Location Services (LCS) Protocol (RRLP). The extension container may be included as a component in a Measure Position Response message or a Protocol Error message. The SMLC (130) is configured to decode the extension container, retrieve the MS ID, and store the MS ID in association with a unique the positioning session identifier. Advantageously, the MS (110) may be configured with a test mode parameter. In one embodiment, encoding of the MS ID in the extension container is activated at the test MS (110) only when the test mode parameter is set to an ''on'' state.

Description

[0001] This application asserts under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) a pending pending application entitled "Identification of a Mobile Station at a Serving Mobile Location Center," filed June 27, 2003 Benefit of US Provisional Application No. 60 / 483,212, which is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present application relates to the field of location services for mobile devices, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting an identity code of a mobile station to an independent serving mobile location center. Background technique [0003] Location Services (abbreviation LCS for "LoCation Services") for mobile phones and wireless digital communication devices (hereinafter collectively referred to as Mobile Station or MS) is an increasingly important business area for wireless communication providers. Location service information can be used to provide various location services to mobile station users. For example, the Bureau of Public Safet...
