Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for processing location information request initiated by a User Equipment (UE), which comprises: a target UE requests a Central Network (CN) for location information; the CN obtains a location estimate of the target UE and sends the location estimate of the target UE to a Visited GMLC of the target UE. According to the present invention, when the target UE requests the network with the Location Service system for location information of the target UE, after receiving the location estimate of the target UE from the Radio Access Network, the CN provides the location estimate of the target UE to the V-GMLC at first, and the V-GMLC provides the location estimate to the target UE through the CN after processing the location request, so that the V-GMLC can obtain the processing information of the location information request initiated by the target UE, and furthermore V-GMLC can correctly charge the Mobile Original Location Request initiated by the target UE.

after the processor determines the second GMLC that can directly access the requester, the transmitter sends the location estimate of the target UE to the requester through the second GMLC, and the second GMLC receives a first response for the location estimate of the target UE from the requester, the receiver is further configured to receive a second response for the location estimate of the target UE sent from the second GMLC, and the transmitter is further configured to return a third response for the location estimate of the target UE to the CN.', 'after the transmitter directly sends the location estimate of the target UE to the requester, the receiver is further configured to receive a first response for the location estimate of the target UE to from the requester, and the transmitter is further configured to return a second response for the location estimate of the target UE to the CN; and', 'after the processor determines the second GMLC that can directly access the requester, the transmitter sends the location estimate of the target UE to the requester through the second GMLC, and the second GMLC receives a first response for the location estimate of the target UE from the requester, the receiver is further configured to receive a second response for the location estimate of the target UE sent from the second GMLC, and the transmitter is further configured to return a third response for the location estimate of the target UE to the CN.
25. The GMLC according to claim 23, wherein address information of the second GMLC that can access the requester is sent from the target UE to the CN;
the receiver is further configured to receive the address information of the second GMLC from the CN and receive the location estimate of the target UE; and
the transmitter is further configured to send the location estimate of the target UE as well as the requester identifier to the second GMLC according to the address information of the second GMLC so that the second GMLC sends the location estimate of the target UE to the requester according to the requester identifier.', 'the receiver is further configured to receive the address information of the second GMLC from the CN and receive the location estimate of the target UE; and', 'the transmitter is further configured to send the location estimate of the target UE as well as the requester identifier to the second GMLC according to the address information of the second GMLC so that the second GMLC sends the location estimate of the target UE to the requester according to the requester identifier.
