Abstract: A user equipment (UE) sends to a serving network a request for periodic reporting of the UE location to a client entity, periodic location information, a request to use GMLC short circuit, and/or a request to use MO-LR short circuit. Various network entities may accept or reject each of the UE requests. For each location reporting event, the UE may send to the serving network its location estimate (e.g., if available and if MO-LR short circuit is allowed) and an address of a requesting GMLC (e.g., if GMLC short circuit is allowed). The network bypasses location processing if the location estimate is selected for use. The serving network may send the location estimate directly to the R-GMLC and bypass a visiting GMLC and a home GMLC, e.g., using the address provided by the UE. The GMLC short circuit and MO-LR short circuit save system resources and shorten response time.

Abstract: A device records observation data including positions of the device. The position of the device can be determined based on a difference between the timing of receipt, from a wireless source, of repetitive data at a trusted position and the timing of receipt of the repetitive data at a new position.

The position of the device can also be determined by recording inertial data even though no position of the device is known. When a trusted position of the device is subsequently identified, the inertial data is used to backtrack along a path that the device moved to identify trusted positions of the device along the path.
