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

摘要

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.

1. A location information tagging method for a location-based service (LBS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining whether a service request message received from a device is being sent to an application server providing the LBS; if it is determined that the service request message is being sent to the application server, determining a list of information based on a tagging rule indicating information required for the application server to provide the LBS; tagging at least one value to the service request message according to the determined list; and transmitting the service request message with the tagged at least one value to the application server.
