DETERMINING THE LOCATION OF A WIRELESS TERMINAL IN A VEHICLE MOUNTED SMALL CELL

摘要

Aspects of using a small cell deployed in a vehicle are provided. For example, identifying the location of a wireless device includes enabling communication with a positioning server (e.g., enhanced serving mobile location center (E-SMLC)) in a home network using a positioning protocol, wherein the communication is enabled using a wireless backhaul connection to a serving network, receiving a location request from the positioning server for the location of the wireless device connected to the small cell and associated with an emergency call, determining location information for the wireless device, and providing, to the positioning server through the communication, the location information. The wireless backhaul connection to the serving network may be based on a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection.
