Abstract
A method for providing a location of a first User Equipment (UE) in a Voice over Wireless Fidelity (VoWIFI) call is disclosed. The method comprises: sending a location request to an access point, AP, to which the first UE is attached to; receiving the location of the first UE from the AP, in response to the request; and sending the received location to a network node when establishing the VoWIFI call. A UE carrying out this method is also disclosed.

A first User Equipment (UE) for providing location in a Voice over Wireless Fidelity (VoWIFI) call, the first UE comprising a processing circuitry, which includes a processor, a memory and an interface both coupled with the processor, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- send a location request to an access point (AP) to which the first UE is attached to;
- receive the location for the first UE from the AP, in response to the request;
- and
- send the received location to a network node when establishing the VoWIFI call.

A network node for providing location to a first User Equipment (UE), for use in a VoWIFI call, the network node comprising a processing circuitry, which includes a processor, a network interface and a memory both coupled with the processor, the memory containing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- receive a location request from the first UE;
- determine the location of the first UE, in response to the received request;
- and
- send the determined location to the first UE, for use when establishing a VoWIFI call.
