LOCATION OF A MOBILE DEVICE WITH WIRELESS ACCESS USING A USER PLANE LOCATION SOLUTION

Techniques are discussed herein for supporting location of a user equipment (UE) with wireless access using a user plane (UP) location solution like SUPL. To locate the UE, an initial UP location session is established between the UE and a location server (LS) during which the LS requests location measurements from the UE. The UE obtains the location measurements by ending the location session and entering an idle state, after indicating this intent to the LS. The UE sends the location measurements to the LS by reentering a connected state and starting a new UP location session with the LS, which may be associated with the initial location session using common identification information. The techniques may be used for a UE with only a single RF chain (e.g. a UE that supports NB-IoT or other narrowband wireless access).
