Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005011308A1] 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.
