METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING USER LOCATION INFORMATION IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, receive a subscription from an application server where the subscription identifies a session event and/or sub-events occurring in a communication session for which the application server requests user location information, provide subscription information based on the subscription to core network nodes of the mobile communications network, receive user location information from the core network nodes responsive to a detection of a triggering event corresponding to the session event of the subscription, and provide the user location information to an IP multimedia subsystem network for delivery to the application server. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing system including a processor, user location information from at least one core network node of a mobile communications network responsive to a detection of a triggering event or a triggering sub-event corresponding to a session event or a sub-event occurring in a communication session; determining, by the processing system, whether reporting of the triggering event or the triggering sub-event that is detected will not result in an undesired signal load; and providing, by the processing system, the user location information to an IP multimedia subsystem network for delivery to an application server responsive to the determining that the reporting of the triggering event or the triggering sub-event will not result in the undesired signal load, wherein the delivery of the user location information is limited to application servers that are subscribed to the session event or the sub-event.
