Abstract
An subscriber location device for determining location information for User Equipment (UE) in a communication network monitors a network interface between a Mobility Management Entity node and an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) node, receive location information from network interface between the MME node and the E-SMLC node, associates the received location information with corresponding UE to yield associated location information and stores the associated location information in a subscriber location database, indexed according to the UE.
Claims17
A method for determining location information for User Equipment (UE) in a communication network, the method comprising:
- monitoring, via a subscriber location node, a network interface between a Mobility Management Entity node and an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) node;
- receiving, via the subscriber location node, location information from network interface between the MME node and the E-SMLC node;
- associating, via the subscriber location node, the received location information with corresponding UE to yield associated location information;
- and
- storing, via the subscriber location node, the associated location information in a subscriber location database, indexed according to the UE.
A subscriber location device for determining location information for User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more network interfaces adapted to communicate in a communication network;
- a processor adapted to execute one or more processes;
- and
- a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process when executed operable to:
- monitor a network interface between a Mobility Management Entity node and an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) node;
- receive location information from network interface between the MME node and the E-SMLC node;
- associate the received location information with corresponding UE to yield associated location information;
- and
- store the associated location information in a subscriber location database, indexed according to the UE.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having software encoded thereon, the software, when executed by a processor, operable to:
- monitor a network interface between a Mobility Management Entity node and an Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) node;
- receive location information from network interface between the MME node and the E-SMLC node;
- associate the received location information with corresponding UE to yield associated location information;
- and
- store the associated location information in a subscriber location database, indexed according to the UE.
