METHOD AND NETWORK ELEMENT FOR PROVIDING LOCATION SERVICES USING PREDETERMINED PORTIONS OF A BROADCAST SIGNAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and network element for providing an assisted location service in a cellular network, wherein predetermined time portions of a broadcast signal are reserved for broadcasting LCS messages. Thus, when a location service message is to be broadcast, it is transmitted using the next free reserved time portion. Thereby, the maximum delay for a new location service message can be reduced.
