MAINTAINING CURRENT CELL LOCATION INFORMATION IN A CELLULAR ACCESS NETWORK

摘要

A system, method, and User Equipment, UE, (27) for providing a current LTE cell location to a Generic Radio Access Network Controller, GANG, (35) based on different triggers depending on the UE state. The GANC ensures that the correct GANC is serving the UE, and also maps the LTE cell location to an associated GAN Cell Global Identifier, GAN-CGI. The GANG provides the GAN-CGI to a Mobile Switching Center, MSC, (28) or other serving core network node to support location-based services and other mobile originated or mobile terminated calls and transactions.
