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

A first location server in a wireless network for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) comprising:

• an external interface for receiving and sending messages to entities in a network;
• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the external interface 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 core network (CN) node in the wireless network, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a different entity;
• send the request for the periodic or triggered location to the UE;
• receive a confirmation from the UE that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• and
• send the confirmation to the first CN node that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE.

A first location server in a wireless network for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) comprising:

• means for receiving a request for a periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first core network (CN) node in the wireless network, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a different entity;
• means for sending the request for the periodic or triggered location to the UE;
• means for receiving a confirmation from the UE that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• and
• means for sending the confirmation to the first CN node that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE.

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

• program code to receive a request for a periodic or triggered location for the UE from a first core network (CN) node in the wireless network, wherein the first CN node received the request for the periodic or triggered location for the UE from a different entity;
• program code to send the request for the periodic or triggered location to the UE;
• program code to receive a confirmation from the UE that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE;
• and
• program code to send the confirmation to the first CN node that the periodic or triggered location was activated in the UE.
