Location information tagging method and apparatus for location-based service in wireless communication system

Abstract

A location information tagging method and system for location-based services in a wireless communication system are provided. In the method, if it is determined that a service request message received from a device is being sent to an application server for providing a service based on a location of the device, location information about a base station is tagged to the service request message. The service request message with the tagged location information is transmitted to the application server. Therefore, the application server can obtain location information about the device by merely depending on the message received from the device without referring to a conventional location service server. This reduces a service response time and also rapidly offers a location-based service.
