Abstract: A system and method for connecting a mobile device to a node in a wireless network. A query may be received for a mobile device from a location based application. In response to the query a first message may be transmitted to the mobile device from a first node, the first message being populated with at least one predetermined parameter. At a second node, it may then be determined whether to forward a second message from the mobile device to the first node via the second node as a function of the availability of the first node or the at least one predetermined parameter.

Abstract: A method is provided for maintaining session state in a Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) enabled system during a triggered session. The method includes modifying at least one parameter of a session message to include state data indicating the session state, and transmitting a request to a SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) to initiate the triggered session, the request comprising the session message having the at least one modified parameter to be stored at the SET. The method further includes receiving a triggered message from the SET in response to occurrence of a trigger event detected by the SET, the triggered message comprising the stored state data. The triggered session is identified using the state data received in the triggered message.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for processing requests by a stand-alone serving mobile location center (SAS), shared by multiple radio access networks in a wireless network, for determining locations of mobile devices within the wireless network. A positioning request message for a mobile device is received from a radio network controller (RNC) in a radio access network (RAN) of the multiple radio access networks. An originating point code (OPC) and a cell identifier are retrieved from the positioning request message. A mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MNC) corresponding to the RAN are determined based on the retrieved OPC. A serving network node communicating with the mobile device is identified using the cell identifier and the determined MCC and MNC.
