Abstract
Techniques described herein are directed toward an enhanced LTE positioning protocol for multiple location reporting (with non-final and final fixes) that can be utilized by a user equipment (UE) to help prevent a disruption of the communication of information for a final location fix from the UE to a location server. In particular, techniques help ensure that the location server will not acknowledge receipt of the information provided by the UE in communication for a non-final fix.
Claims20
A method of improving multiple location reporting in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) messaging at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving an LPP Request Location Information message from a location server (LS) comprising a request for multiple location reporting having an early location fix and a final location fix, the multiple location reporting comprising:
- first location information regarding at least one non-final location fix for the UE in response to the request, wherein the at least one non-final location fix comprises the early location fix, and
- second location information regarding the final location fix for the UE in response to the request;
- sending, during a predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a first LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the first LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the first location information for the UE, and
- an indication that the LS shall not return an acknowledgment for the first LPP Provide Location Information message to the UE;
- and
- sending, after the predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a second LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the second LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the second location information for the UE, and
- an indication that the LS shall return an acknowledgment for the second LPP Provide Location Information message to the UE.

A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a wireless communication interface;
- a memory;
- and
- a processing unit communicatively coupled with the memory and the wireless communication interface and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive, via the wireless communication interface, a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) Request Location Information message from a location server (LS) comprising a request for multiple location reporting having an early location fix and a final location fix, the multiple location reporting comprising:
- first location information regarding at least one non-final location fix for the UE in response to the request, wherein the at least one non-final location fix comprises the early location fix, and
- second location information regarding the final location fix for the UE in response to the request;
- send, via the wireless communication interface during a predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a first LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the first LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the first location information for the UE, and
- an indication that the LS shall not return an acknowledgment for the first LPP Provide Location Information message to the UE;
- and
- send, via the wireless communication interface after the predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a second LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the second LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the second location information for the UE, and
- an indication that the LS shall return an acknowledgment for the second LPP Provide Location Information message to the UE.

An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Positioning Protocol (LPP) Request Location Information message from a location server (LS) comprising a request for multiple location reporting having an early location fix and a final location fix, the multiple location reporting comprising:
- first location information regarding at least one non-final location fix for a UE in response to the request, wherein the at least one non-final location fix comprises the early location fix, and
- second location information regarding the final location fix for the UE in response to the request;
- means for sending, during a predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a first LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the first LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the first location information for the UE, and
- an indication that the LS shall not return an acknowledgment for the first LPP Provide Location Information message to the apparatus;
- and
- means for sending, after the predetermined time period for non-final fix reporting, a second LPP Provide Location Information message to the LS, the second LPP Provide Location Information message comprising:
- at least a portion of the second location information for the apparatus, and
- an indication that the LS shall return an acknowledgment for the second LPP Provide Location Information message to the apparatus.
