Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein are generally directed toward providing a fallback mechanism to use when the authentication session between the SET and E-SLP fails. In particular, the techniques provided herein allow the SET to attempt to connect with SLPs using given and/or generated information. As such, the techniques provided herein increase the likelihood that the SET will be able to complete a successful SUPL session, and a location of the SET will be provided to an emergency response service.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for providing control over a port, such as a port utilizing the User Datagram Protocol, for example, in a mobile device. In a particular implementation, a mobile device user may select to close or otherwise restrict access to the port, which may thus prevent a user external to the cellular communications network from obtaining the user's present location and/or from hindering operations of the mobile device. Upon detection of an event, the port may be reopened, which may thereby permit a cellular communications network to determine an estimate of the mobile device user's location responsive to, for example, the user placing an E911 emergency call.
