The location management server sends location reporting configuration message to the location management client(s) containing the initial configuration (or a subsequent update) for reporting the location of the MC service UE. This message can be sent over a unicast bearer to a specific location management client or as a group message over an MBMS bearer to update the location reporting configuration for multiple location management clients at the same time.

A location reporting event occurs, triggering step 3.

The location management client sends a location information report to the location management server, containing location information identified by the location management server and available to the location management client.

Step 4.

Upon receiving the report, the location management server updates location of the reporting location management client. If the location management server does not have location information of the reporting location management client before, then just stores the reporting location information for that location management client. If the location information report contains an optional MC service UE label, the location management server stores it together with the location information for the reporting location management client.

10.9.3.2 On-demand location reporting procedure Word‑p. 189

The location management server can request MC service UE location information at any time by sending a location information request to the location management client, which may trigger location management client to immediately send the location report.

(⇒ copy of original 3GPP image)

Based on configurations such as periodical location information timer, or location information request from other entities (e.g., another location management client, MC service server), location management server initiates the immediate request of location information to be sent from the location management client.

The location management server sends a location information request to the location management client.

MC service user is notified and asked for permission to share location information. MC service user can accept or deny the request.

Step 4.

The location management client immediately responds to the location management server with a report containing location information identified by the location management server and available to the location management client.

Step 5.

Upon receiving the report, the location management server updates location of the reporting location management client. If the location management server does not have location information of the reporting location management client, the location management server just stores the reporting location information for that location management client. If the location information report contains an optional MC service UE label, the location management server stores it together with the location information for the reporting location management client.

(⇒ copy of original 3GPP image)

Location management client 2 (authorized MC service user) sends a location reporting trigger to the location management server to activate a location reporting procedure for obtaining the location information of location management client 1.

Location management server checks whether location management client 2 is authorized to send a location reporting trigger. Depending on the information specified by the location reporting trigger, location management server initiates an on-demand location reporting procedure or an event-triggered location reporting procedure for the location of location management client 1.

10.9.3.4 Location reporting cancel procedure Word‑p. 190

The location reporting cancel procedure reuses the information flow of location reporting configuration.

Pre-conditions:

The location management client has been provided with location reporting configuration information.

Figure 10.9.3.5-1: Location information subscription request procedure
(⇒ copy of original 3GPP image)

MC service server or location management client sends a location information subscription request to the location management server to subscribe location information of one or more MC service users.

The location management server checks if the location management client is authorized to initiate the location information subscription request.

The location management server replies with a location information subscription response indicating the subscription status.

10.9.3.6 Usage of location information procedure Word‑p. 191

10.9.3.6.1 Event-trigger location information notification procedure Word‑p. 191

Figure 10.9.3.6.1-1 illustrates the high level procedure of event-trigger usage of location information. The same procedure can be applied for location management client and other entities that would like to subscribe to location information of MC service user.

Pre-condition:

The MC service server or location management client has subscribed to the location information of a target MC service user.

Copy of original 3GPP image for 3GPP TS 23.280, Fig. 10.9.3.6.1-1: Event-trigger usage of location information procedure

Figure 10.9.3.6.1-1: Event-trigger usage of location information procedure
(⇒ copy of original 3GPP image)

Based on configuration, e.g., subscription, periodical location information timer, the location management server is triggered to report the latest user location information of the target MC service user to the subscribed MC service server or subscribed location management client.

The location management server sends the location information notification including the latest location information of one MC service user to the MC service server or to the location management client. The latest location information is derived from the location report procedure as described in clause 10.9.3.1, or from PLMN operator (e.g. LCS network).If the optional MC service UE label is present, the location management server sends it, as part of the location information notification, to the MC service user.

10.9.3.6.2 On-demand usage of location information procedure Word‑p. 192

The MC service server or the location management client can request location information at any time by sending a location information request to the location management server, which may trigger location management server to send the location information report immediately.
