<p>Wireless network methods and apparatuses that may determine and provide, in real-time, the geographical locations of mobile stations of the wireless network are described herein. In one implementation, in order to determine the location of a mobile station (MS), the MS may obtain from a navigation service a decryption key to decrypt encrypted location information of multiple base station's (BS's) in its local area . The encrypted location information of the BS may then be decrypted and based at least in part on the recovered location information of the BS, determine the location of the MS. In another implementation, in order to determine and provide the location of an MS of a wireless network, a combination of location agents, location controller, and a location server may be employed to determine and provide the current location of the MS to requesting authorized clients.</p> |
