Methods and systems for on-demand resource allocation for location determination of a mobile device

A mobile wireless device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a transceiver, coupled to the one or more processors, configured to:
• send to a first wireless node a first request for broadcast of an increased quantity of location-related information, the broadcast based on a wireless access type for the first wireless node;
• receive the increased quantity of location-related information broadcast by the first wireless node, the received increased quantity being based at least in part on the wireless access type;
• obtain location information for the mobile wireless device based, at least in part, on the increased quantity of location-related information;
• and
• send a second request to the first wireless node for a termination of the broadcast of the increased quantity of location-related information after the location information is obtained.

An apparatus for supporting location at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

• means for sending to a first wireless node a first request for broadcast of an increased quantity of location-related information, the broadcast based on a wireless access type for the first wireless node;
• means for receiving the increased quantity of location-related information broadcast by the first wireless node, the received increased quantity being based at least in part on the wireless access type;
• means for obtaining location information for the UE based, at least in part, on the increased quantity of location-related information;
• and
• means for sending a second request to the first wireless node for a termination of the broadcast of the increased quantity of location-related information after the location information is obtained.

A non-transitory computer readable media, for supporting location at a user equipment (UE), programmed with instructions, executable on a processor, to:

• send to a first wireless node a first request for broadcast of an increased quantity of location-related information, the broadcast based on a wireless access type for the first wireless node;
• receive the increased quantity of location-related information broadcast by the first wireless node, the received increased quantity being based at least in part on the wireless access type;
• obtain location information for the UE based, at least in part, on the increased quantity of location-related information;
• and
• send a second request to the first wireless node for a termination of the broadcast of the increased quantity of location-related information after the location information is obtained.
