Generally, the MNO provides basic positioning service for all users. For specific applications, the MNO provides customized positioning service which has different positioning performance for different users.

Bob and Arthur are subscribers of operator A. Operator A provides basic positioning service for all subscribers Airport H is an enterprise customer of operator A According to contract, operator A provides advanced positioning service for people stayed in the area of airport. Passengers who register the airport service will get guest level positioning service with higher accuracy and the airport security stuff will get security level positioning service with highest priority and best positioning performance.

Arthur is the police of Airport H. During his working time in Airport H, he can be provided with the security level location service. Bob goes to Airport H with the help of location service provided by operator A to pick up his mother Mary. After Bob enters Airport H, he registers Airport H's service platform and agrees the usage terms. Then he gets guest level location service. His electric car is routed to the specific parking set, parked, and being charged which need higher accuracy positioning assistance and can be provided by the Airport H's service platform. Bob goes upstairs and wants to find the nearest flower store. Under the Airport H's location service direction, Bob finds it and selects flower for his mother. Bob waits for his mother in the café bar. For security, Arthur can retrieve Bob's higher accuracy location under the regulation agreement. When Mary's aircraft lands down, she powers on her smart phone and Airport H's service is pushed to her smart phone. Mary accepts the service provided by Airport H. Bob is notified that Mary's aircraft has been landed. Bob shares his location to Mary. Mary then is routed to the exit B which is closest to Bob's location under the direction of Airport H's location service. Bob is notified that his mother will be arrived in exit B after 1 minute. He goes to the exit B and meets his mother. They are routed to Bob's car served by Airport H's and drive to Bob's home with the help of location service provided by operator A.

In Airport H, different level location service are provided to different kind of user classes. In Airport H, Bob can be provided location service with higher accuracy positioning data through Airport H's platform besides basic location service provided by operator A. When out of Airport H, they only can be provided the basic location service provided by operator A.

The 5G System shall be able to position the UE when it is indoor or outdoor. The 5G system shall be able to provide different positioning services with different KPI performance for the UE whenever it is indoor or outdoor according to operator's policy or 3rd party's request. The 5G System shall be able to provide positioning service with TTFF less than [10] s. The 5G system shall be able to provide positioning service with 2m horizontal position accuracy, 90% availability, and less than 1s latency for the UE outdoor. The 5G system shall be able to provide positioning service with 0.1m horizontal position accuracy, 99% availability, and less than 1s latency for the UE indoor. The 5G system shall supply a method for 3rd party to configure and manage different positioning services for different users according to agreement between operator's policy and 3rd party. The 5G system shall supply a method for operator to configure and manage different positioning services for different users according to agreement between operator's policy and 3rd party

One location module in a UE may support multiple methods to supply its position information, for example, 3GPP technologies and non-3GPP technologies. This includes, but not limited to, GNSS (e.g. BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS, and GPS), Terrestrial Beacon Systems (TBS), Bluetooth, WLAN, RFID, and sensors. Different location methods support different level position performance and capabilities. So, it is suggested to support negotiation of location capabilities considering user, application, or network operator's demands.

Bob is user of operator A. Bob's UE supports multiple mode location methods, for example, 3GPP technologies and non-3GPP technologies. This includes, but not limited to, GNSS (e.g. BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS), Terrestrial Beacon Systems (TBS), Bluetooth, WLAN, RFID, and sensors. The 3GPP system of Operator A supports multiple location methods, for example, 3GPP technologies and non-3GPP technologies. This includes, but not limited to, GNSS (e.g. BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS), Terrestrial Beacon Systems (TBS), Bluetooth, WLAN, RFID,, and sensors. Bob has registered the location service from operator A.

Bob is going to drive to his office. When he leaves his home, he switches on the GNSS e.g. BeiDou location enable button in his UE and open the Map application. Bob's UE notifies the 3GPP system that it can support LTEand BeiDou location methods now, and requests that which ones the system use to supply location service. The 3GPP system identifies that Bob's UE is in outdoor and the navigation application is active, so responses that the LTE, 5G and BeiDou location methods can be used. Bob's UE receives the response and begins to supply position data to the 3GPP system periodically. During Bob is driving to his office, the 3GPP system provides navigation location service to him. Bob arrives his office basement and plans to park his electric car to the wireless charging port which requires higher accuracy positioning capability. The parking application sends positioning requirement to 3GPP system to request higher accuracy positioning requirement. Then, the 3GPP system analyses that this higher accuracy positioning requirement can be supported by 5G and asks Bob's UE that whether the 5G location method can be used now. Bob's UE responses that WLAN, LTE, 5G location methods can be used. The 3GPP system decides to use 5G which can support higher accuracy location performance to support parking application positioning requirement. The 3GPP system notifies Bob's UE of the selected location method and parking application that its positioning request can be supported. The 3GPP system and Bob's UE switch location method to 5G location methods. The location service continues and helps to park Bob's car.

Bob is provided with different location services in different scenarios.

None identified.

The 5G system shall be able to support multiple single and hybrid location methods to supply location service according to operator's policy or application's requirements or user's preference. The 5G System shall be able to negotiate location methods according to operator's policy or application's requirements or user's preference. The 5G system shall be able to support the 5G network or UE to trigger to negotiate location methods. The 5G system shall be able to supply a method to support the 3rd party to request 5G system to trigger location methods negotiation.
