METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR RETRIEVING GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION

摘要

Method and Over The Top (OTT) service providing node for retrieval of geographic location information of a communication device communicatively coupled to the OTT service providing node. A request for an OTT service is received from the communication device, and an identifier of the communication device is determined. An operator of the communication device is determined, by utilising the determined identifier of the communication device. An identifier of an Operator Location Service (OLS) node of the operator is determined. A location request is sent to the OLS node for requesting geographic location information of the communication device, the location request comprising the identifier of the communication device, the identifier of the communication device to be utilised by the OLS node for retrieving the requested geographic location information from a location server, and the retrieved geographic location information to be sent by the OLS node to the OTT service providing node.

1. A method performed by an Over The Top (OTT) service providing node for retrieval of geographic location information of a communication device, the communication device being communicatively coupled to the OTT service providing node via a communication network, the method comprising:
receiving a request for an OTT service from the communication device; determining an identifier of the communication device; determining an operator of the communication device by utilising the determined identifier of the communication device; determining an identifier of an Operator Location Servicer (OLS) node of the operator; sending a location request to the OLS node for requesting geographic location information of the communication device, the location request comprising the identifier of the communication device, wherein the identifier of the communication device is to be utilised by the OLS node for relieving the requested geographic location information from a location server, and the retrieved geographic location information to be sent by the OLS node to the OTT service providing node; and receiving the sent geographic location information.
