Location management for cellular systems

A network controller for supporting a terminal in a telecommunications system including a core network and an access network, the network controller comprising:

• a reporting module configured to report location information of the terminal to the core network, and
• a transforming module configured to transform the location information into transformed location information,
• wherein the transforming module transforms the location information into transformed location information prior to the reporting module reporting the location information of the terminal to the core network,
• wherein the core network is configured to determine the terminal location and the access network includes a drift network controller configured to maintain a connection with the terminal,
• wherein the network controller is configured to act, at least temporarily, as a serving network controller of the terminal in the access network, and to report the terminal location to the core network, and
• wherein the network controller is configured to receive location information from the drift network controller and to report the transformed location information to the core network for determining the terminal location.
