METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF A RECEIVER FOR LOCATION INFORMATION

The invention relates to a radio network controller (RNC) for receiving a LOCATION- REPORTING- CONTROL message and analyzing a value of a request type information element received in the LOCATION- REPORTING- CONTROL message. The RNC directly determines requested location information for a user equipment (UE) if the request information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION- REPORTING- CONTROL message or the RNC determines the requested location information if the UE changes the service area if the request information element indicates sending location information at a change of service area by the UE. The RNC then sends a LOCATION- REPORT message comprising the location information and the request type information element to at least one control node.
