<p>A method for handling a Deferred Location Request, including: a Location Service (LCS) Client initiating a Deferred Location Request for a target UE to a Requesting-Gateway Mobile Location Center (R-GMLC), the R-GMLC forwarding the Deferred Location Request to a Home-GMLC (H-GMLC), the H-GMLC assigning a Reference Number for the Deferred Location Request, and sending the Deferred Location Request to a Core Network (CN) via a Visited-GMLC (V-GMLC); when a deferred event occurs, the CN submitting a target UE location report and the Reference Number to the H-GMLC via the V-GMLC, the H-GMLC returning the target UE location report to the LCS Client via the R-GMLC. Since the H-GMLC is the home GMLC of the target UE, the Reference Number assigned by the H-GMLC may ensure that different Deferred Location Requests initiated for a same target UE may be exclusively differentiated, such that Deferred Location Requests for the same target UE initiated by the LCS Client through different R-GMLCs may be normally processed, which effectively solves the conflict in the handling process of an LCS and satisfies the demands of service operations.</p> |
