Patent number: 9380554Abstract: The invention relates to a radio network controller (RNC) for receiving a LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message and analyzing a value of a request type information element received in the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message. The RNC directly determines requested location information for a user equipment (UE) if the request information element indicates sending location information as a direct response to the LOCATION_REPORTING_CONTROL message or the RNC determines the requested location information if the UE changes the service area if the request information element indicates sending location information at a change of service area by the UE. The RNC then sends a LOCATION_REPORT message comprising the location information and the request type information element to at least one control node.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Enrico De Luca, Alessandro Lala, Martin Israelsson, Anders Molander, Maurizio Iovieno, Arpad Kormos

Patent number: 8898004Abstract: The invention relates to a method for distinguishing between LOCATION_REPORT messages to avoid ambiguities. Therefore, a value of an information element of request type is returned by a radio network controller, depending on an intended receiver of the location information. A control node receiving the information element value analyses said value and determines the receiver depending on the result of said analysis.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Enrico De Luca, Alessandro Lala, Martin Israelsson, Anders Molnader, Maurizio Iovieno, Arpad Kormos

Patent number: 7966023Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and arrangements in a telecommunication system to generate Interception Related Information IRI related to positioning activities involving a mobile subscriber/equipment MSA. The system provides information to an Intercept configuration unit ICU, collected from an Intercept Access Point IAP; MSC, GMLC that is associated to the monitored subscriber/equipment. The method comprises the following steps: receiving to the Intercept Access Point IAP; MSC, GMLC from the Intercept configuration unit ICU, a request to monitor the mobile subscriber/equipment MSA. Registration in the Intercept Access Point IAP; MSC, GMLC, of a positioning activity involving the monitored subscriber/equipment. Delivering information related to the positioning activity, from the Intercept Access Point IAP; MSC, GMLC to the Law Enforcement Agency LEA.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Lorenzo Fiorillo, Maurizio Iovieno, Alessandro Lala, Enrico De Luca, Pompeo Santoro
