Method and apparatus for managing a location reporting in a wireless communication system

A location management server comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, storing instructions executable by the at least one processor individually or in any combination to cause the location management server to:
• receive, from a first location management client providing a first location reporting trigger for a second location management client, a location reporting trigger cancel request to deactivate a first location reporting procedure for obtaining location information of the second location management client, and
• identify that the first location management client is authorized to transmit the location reporting trigger cancel request,
• wherein the location reporting trigger cancel request deactivates a second location reporting procedure triggered by a third location management client providing a second location reporting trigger for the second location management client, and
• wherein the first location management client and the third location management client are for an authorized mission critical (MC) service user.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a location management server individually or collectively, cause the location management server to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a first location management client providing a first location reporting trigger for a second location management client, a location reporting trigger cancel request to deactivate a first location reporting procedure for obtaining location information of the second location management client;
• and
• identifying that the first location management client is authorized to transmit the location reporting trigger cancel request,
• wherein the location reporting trigger cancel request deactivates a second location reporting procedure triggered by a third location management client providing a second location reporting trigger for the second location management client, and
• wherein the first location management client and the third location management client are for an authorized mission critical (MC) service user.
