LOCATION SERVICES

Note 1

TS 22.071   LCS Stage 1 (for GSM and UMTS)
TS 03.71     LCS Stage 2 for GSM
TS 23.171   LCS Stage 2 for UMTS
Location Services is a feature providing the ability to localize a terminal (MS - Mobile Station in GSM and UE - User Equipment in UMTS). This location information is used to provide services to the end-user (e.g. to offer a local map with indication of closest restaurants, etc), for emergency services or for “internal clients”, i.e. a UMTS network entity, like an RNC to direct the beam when space diversity is used (not used at least up to Release 6).

Priority Service (Rel6)

Work in progress, to be completed by December 2004. Note 1

There is a need to provide to authorized users (e.g. military, civil authorities) a preferential access to the network during crisis situations when the service might be restricted due to damage, congestion, or other faults. 
The objective of this WI is to provide a secure and manageable mechanism to identify priority users and mark and guarantee their communications from access and call set up through to call completion.  In the case of communications terminating on a mobile device, priority service includes priority egress.
