A location management component (LMC) for a mobile communication network, the LMC comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- provide LMC configuration information to at least one user equipment (UE), wherein the LMC configuration information is non UE-specific LMC configuration information, and wherein the LMC configuration information is included in a predefined system information block (SIB),
- obtain privacy information relating to the at least one user equipment (UE),
- obtain a location request according to the LMC configuration information,
- determine a position of the at least one UE, based on the privacy information and the location request,
- provide a location response based on the determined position, wherein the location response comprises the determined position.
A method for a location management component (LMC) for a mobile communication network, wherein the method comprises the operations of:
- providing, by the LMC, LMC configuration information to at least one user equipment (UE), wherein the LMC configuration information is non UE-specific LMC configuration information, and wherein the LMC configuration information is included in a predefined system information block (SIB),
- obtaining, by the LMC, privacy information relating to at least one user equipment (UE),
- obtaining, by the LMC, a location request according to the LMC configuration information,
- determining, by the LMC, a position based on the privacy information and the location request, and
- providing, by the LMC, a location response comprising the determined position.
