Abstract
A User Equipment (UE) including a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) and a Mobile Equipment (ME) is provided. The ME is coupled to the UICC, and is configured to determine whether the UICC supports a first RAT in response to the UE operating in a cell which utilizes the first RAT, and use a data object for a second RAT to accommodate location information for the first RAT in response to the UICC not supporting the first RAT.

A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC);
- and
- a Mobile Equipment (ME), coupled to the UICC, and configured to determine whether the UICC supports a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) in response to the UE operating in a cell which utilizes the first RAT, and use a data object for a second RAT to accommodate location information for the first RAT in response to the UICC not supporting the first RAT.
A method for handling location information, executed by a UE comprising a UICC and an ME, the method comprising:
- determining, by the ME, whether the UICC supports a first RAT in response to the UE operating in a cell which utilizes the first RAT;
- and
- using, by the ME, a data object for a second RAT to accommodate location information for the first RAT in response to the UICC not supporting the first RAT.
