Abstract: Location services for a user equipment (UE) are supported with a Network Exposure Function (NEF) serving as a focal point for any location request. An entity that needs the location of the UE sends a location request to the NEF in the home PLMN or Visited PLMN for the UE.

Abstract: A rotatable member having multiple discrete positions between opposite ends of a normal path of movement is provided with two (or three) parallel, encoded tracks having different patterns of distinct, serial sections. These tracks cooperate with relatively stationary probes of a position sensor. As the rotatable member moves from position to position, the sensor will produce a family of two (or three) separate binary signals that changes states as the probes detect boundaries between successive sections of the tracks with which they respectively communicate, and the patterns of the encoded sections are so selected that the sequence of state changes when the rotatable member is approaching a predetermined mid position will differ from the sequence when the member is moving away therefrom.
