Abstract  Abstract

claims a telecommunications system and method for enabling a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) node namely a cellular network serving GPRS support node (SGSN) can be parallel to the other existing transaction processing position of the GPRS mobile station (MS) service (LCS) request the existing transaction such as to transmit a short message for example data call or connection to a session management activities. can be GPRS MS GPRS in the SGSN and a connection management (CM) sub-layer into the transaction type of the new LCS in parallel to other provided service to process the request of the LCS. LCS is of through logic link of the GPRS control (LLC) sub layer distributes new service access point indicator (SAPI) LCS can be multiplexed together with other existing functions in GPRS. On the other hand when the different CM sub layer functions using a common LLC SAPI is capable of distributing different protocol discriminator (PD) LCS.

A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for enabling a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) node namely a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) within a cellular network to be able to handle requests for Location Services (LCS) for a GPRS mobile station (MS) in parallel to other existing transactions such as delivering short messages or engaging in session management activity <u>e.g.</u> data call connection. A new LCS transaction type can be introduced in the Connection-Management (CM) sub-layer of GPRS in the SGSN and the GPRS MSs to handle requests for LCS in parallel to other offered services. LCS can be multiplexed together with other existing functions in GPRS by allocating a new Service Access Point Identifier (SAPI) to LCS within the Logical Link Control (LLC) sub-layer of the GPRS. Alternatively when a common LLC SAPI is used between different CM-sublayer functionsthen a different protocol discriminator (PD) can be allocated for LCS.
