Abstract: A method of providing locations services of a mobile station in a worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) network including an access service network (ASN) is provided. For executing a paging and location update (PLU), a serving base station transmits a scanning interval allocation response message (MOB-SCN-RSP) defined in the WiMAX wireless standard to a target mobile station, which transmits a scanning result report message (MOB-SCN-REP) defined in the standard to the serving base station in response to the MOB-SCN-RSP. The serving base station generates a location measurement result based on the MOB-SCN-REP and transmits to the ASN gateway. The ASN gateway forms a location response based on the location measurement result and transmits the location response to an LCS server. The LCS server creates a location service response of the target mobile station based on the location response and transmits the location service response to the LCS client.

Abstract: A power management system includes a sensor to detect current output from a battery, a first comparator to compare the battery current to a first reference value, and a burst controller to perform a first power control operation based on said comparison. The power control operation reduces power consumed by the battery in order to cause the battery current to fall below the first reference value. This may be accomplished by reducing or shutting down power to one or more functions or features of a host system that includes or is coupled to receive power from the battery. The host system may include or correspond to a mobile phone and/or any of a number of other electronic devices.
