Systems and methods for deferred 5g location of a mobile device using a combined amf and lmf based location solution

A user equipment (UE) for supporting location services for the UE, the UE comprising:

• at least one wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with at least one wireless network;
• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one wireless transceiver and the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive a request for a periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first location server in the wireless network, wherein the first location server received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first Core Network (CN) node, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from another entity;
• send a confirmation to the first location server that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• detect a plurality of trigger events;
• and
• send, for each detected trigger event, a corresponding event report to a second location server, each corresponding event report comprising at least one of location measurements, a location estimate, a type of detected triggering event, or a combination thereof, wherein the second location server sends each corresponding event report to the other entity.

A user equipment (UE) for supporting location services for the UE, the UE comprising:

• means for receiving a request for a periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first location server in a wireless network, wherein the first location server received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first Core Network (CN) node, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from another entity;
• means for sending a confirmation to the first location server that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• means for detecting a plurality of trigger events;
• and
• means for sending, for each detected trigger event, a corresponding event report to a second location server, each corresponding event report comprising at least one of location measurements, a location estimate, a type of detected triggering event, or a combination thereof, wherein the second location server sends each corresponding event report to the other entity.

A non-transitory storage medium including program code stored thereon, the program code is operable to cause at least one processor in a user equipment (UE) to support location services for the UE comprising:

• program code to receive a request for a periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first location server in a wireless network, wherein the first location server received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first Core Network (CN) node, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from another entity;
• program code to send a confirmation to the first location server that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• program code to detect a plurality of trigger events;
• and
• program code to send, for each detected trigger event, a corresponding event report to a second location server, each corresponding event report comprising at least one of location measurements, a location estimate, a type of detected triggering event, or a combination thereof, wherein the second location server sends each corresponding event report to the other entity.
