Location reporting for service enabler architecture layer (SEAL)

A method of a service enabler architecture layer (SEAL), comprising:

• transmitting from a location management server a location reporting configuration to a first location management client of the SEAL at a first user equipment (UE), the location reporting configuration indicating at least one location reporting event for triggering a first location information report from the first location management client of the SEAL at the first UE to the location management server;
• receiving the first location information report from the first location management client of the SEAL at the first UE, the first location information report including:
• an identity of the first UE,
• an identity of the at least one location reporting event that triggers the first location information report,
• first location information of the first UE, and
• a first timestamp corresponding to the first location information of the first UE;
• and
• storing the first location information of the first UE in a memory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of a service enabler architecture layer (SEAL), the method comprises:

• receiving a location reporting configuration at a first user equipment (UE) from a location management server of the SEAL, the location reporting configuration indicating at least one location reporting event for triggering a first location information report from a first location management client at the first UE to the location management server;
• and
• transmitting the first location information report to the location management server from the first location management client at the first UE in response to the at least one location reporting event occurring, the first location information report including:
• an identity of the first UE,
• an identity of the at least one location reporting event that triggers the first location information report,
• first location information of the first UE, and
• a first timestamp corresponding to the first location information of the first UE.
