Abstract
A method includes: receiving a request at a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) for location-related service; producing a positioning method SUPL message that includes a posmethod parameter that includes a positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer; and sending the positioning method SUPL message from the SLP to a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) using a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP).
Claims26
A server comprising:
- a transceiver configured to send messages to a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Enabled Terminal (SET) and to receive messages from the SET;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to send a positioning method SUPL message to the SET via the transceiver using a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP);
- wherein the positioning method SUPL message includes a posmethod parameter;
- and
- wherein the posmethod parameter includes a positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request at a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Location Platform (SLP) for location-related service;
- producing a positioning method SUPL message, wherein the positioning method SUPL message includes a posmethod parameter, and wherein the posmethod parameter includes a positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer;
- and
- sending the positioning method SUPL message from the SLP to a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) using a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP).
A Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) Enabled Terminal (SET) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to send messages to a SUPL Location Platform (SLP) and to receive messages from the SLP;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- receive a positioning method SUPL message, in a SUPL User Plane Location Protocol (ULP), from the SLP via the transceiver;
- determine that the positioning method SUPL message includes a posmethod parameter that includes a positioning protocol indicator;
- and
- in response to the positioning protocol indicator indicating that SET capability transfer and positioning method selection are to be conducted in a positioning protocol layer:
- provide SET capability information to the SLP using the positioning protocol layer;
- and
- interact with the SLP to select a positioning method using the positioning protocol layer.
