Abstract: User equipment (UE) access to a non-terrestrial network (NTN) via a satellite to a Fifth Generation (5G) public land mobile network (PLMN) is supported using fixed tracking areas (TAs) and fixed cells. The fixed TAs and fixed cells are defined in the NTN independently of NTN radio cells. Network elements in the NTN are provided with configuration information for the fixed TAs and fixed cells from a server (e.g., an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) server). The configuration information includes location related information for the fixed TAs and fixed cells, which may not be standardized. The network entities perform one or more services for the UE based on the location related information for the fixed TAs and fixed cells, such as determining a fixed TA or fixed serving cell for a UE, locating the UE, routing emergency calls, and supporting wireless emergency alerting (WEA).

Abstract: A system for providing locations of emergency callers receives call data related to emergency calls received at a public safety answering point (PSAP) and a supplemental data signal that includes a location of an emergency. A signal correlation engine determines whether the supplemental data signal corresponds to one of the emergency calls received at the PSAP. A web server provides a user interface that includes a map and a supplemental signal indicator corresponding to the supplemental data signal. The supplemental signal indicator is positioned on the map at the location of the emergency, and the supplemental signal indicator has a visual characteristic indicating whether or not the supplemental data signal corresponds to an emergency call received at the PSAP.

Abstract: A RAN location server function (e.g. for 5G New Radio), referred to as Location Management Component (LMC), may be included in a gNB and connected to a gNB Central Unit (gNB-CU). The gNB-CU may receive a location request for a UE (e.g. from an AMF) and may initiate a location session for the UE, including selecting an LMC for the location session. The gNB-CU may handover the UE to a new serving gNB during the location session. The LMC for the location session may then remain unchanged after the handover or may be changed to a new LMC to suit the new serving gNB. The location session may then continue using the original LMC if not changed or the new LMC if changed.

Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for a selection of an Interworking Function (“IWF”) that facilitates an interworking between a licensed wireless network and another wireless network, such as an unlicensed wireless network, based on a geographical location of a User Equipment (“UE”) that is connected to the licensed wireless network and the other wireless network. The IWF may be selected from a set of candidate IWFs based on respective locations of the candidate IWFs and the UE and/or a wireless access point associated with the other wireless network. The IWF may communicate with the UE, via the other wireless network, using one or more tunnels. The IWF may identify control plane and user plane traffic received via the tunnel(s), and may forward such communications to appropriate network devices of the licensed wireless network.
