Definitions
- the present invention relates to the provision of location information in mobile communication networks, and particularly in applications where a request is made for a current location of a mobile device.
- the invention is particularly but not exclusively concerned with location based services in second and third generation mobile communication systems.
- CAMEL mobile network enhanced logic
- CGI cell global identity
- SAT service area identity
- CAMEL phase 3 if a mobile station is active then the active session is again used to identify a current location of the mobile station, either the cell global identity (CGI) of GSM radio access network or service area identity (SAI) of UMTS radio access network. If the mobile station is idle, however, then the idle mobile station may be paged in order to obtain updated location information. The mobile station is paged if the current location is requested. This provides more useful location information in idle mode, but increases the radio resource usage.
- third generation based location services as with CAMEL phase 3, if a mobile station is idle it is always paged and a location request issued to it, again increasing the radio resource usage. Standard LCS functionality differs from CAMEL phase 3 in that paging is always done for an idle mode mobile station. It is an aim of embodiments of the present invention to facilitate location services whilst minimising any usage of radio resources, and thereby minimise one or all of the problems mentioned above.
- a method of providing location information in a mobile communication system comprising the steps of: receiving a request for a current location of a mobile station; deterniining a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined; comparing the time to a threshold time limit; and providing, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit.
- the method may further comprise the steps of: determining a current location of the mobile station if the time is not within the threshold limit; and providing, as the current location, the obtained current location.
- the step of comparing the time to the threshold time limit may be dependent upon the status of the mobile station. If the mobile station is active the comparing step may be disabled and a current location is determined for the mobile station. If the status of the mobile station is idle, the comparing step may be enabled.
- the last known location may be provided as the current location.
- the method may further comprise the step of storing the last known location of a mobile station together with a time associated with the last known location.
- the method may further comprise the step of storing the threshold time limit.
- the method may further comprise the step of dynamically adjusting the threshold time limit.
- the threshold time limit may be set by a network operator.
- the threshold limit may be included in the request for the current location.
- the time may be an elapsed time.
- a method of providing location information in a mobile communication system comprising the steps of: receiving at a network element a request from an application for a current location of a mobile station; determining, at the network element, a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined; comparing, at the network element, the time to a threshold time limit; and providing to the application, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit.
- a network element for providing location information in a mobile communication system comprising: means for receiving a request for a current location of a mobile station; means for determining a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined; means for comparing the time to a threshold time limit; and means for providing, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit.
- the network element may further comprise means for determining a current location for the mobile station if the time is not within the threshold limit; wherein the means for providing is adapted to provide, as the current location, the obtained current location.
- the means for comparing the time to the threshold time limit may be responsive to a signal indicating the status of the mobile station. Responsive to said signal indicating that the mobile station is active the comparing means may be disabled and a current location is determined for the mobile station. Responsive to said signal indicating that the mobile station is idle, the comparing means may be enabled. If a current location is not provided, the network element may be adapted to provide the last known location is provided as the current location.
- the network element may further comprise means for storing the last known location of a mobile station together with a time associated with the last known location.
- the network element may further comprise means for storing the threshold time limit.
- the network element may further comprise means for dynamically adjusting the threshold time limit.
- the threshold time limit may be set by a network operator.
- the threshold time limit may be included in the request for a current location.
- a mobile cornmunication system including an application for providing location dependent services and for generating a location request for a user equipment; a network element for receiving the request for a current location of a mobile station; a network element for determining a time at which a last known location of the mobile station was determined and for comparing the time to a threshold time limit; and a network element for providing, as the current location, the last known location if the time is within the threshold time limit.
- the network element for determining the time at which the last known location was determined preferably includes a visitor location register.
- the system may implement a CAMEL framework or location services.
- the invention thus proposes a configurable threshold for an MSC/VLR (or SGSN) which prevents unnecessary paging attempts if the MSC/VLR (or SGSN) aheady has sufficiently fresh location information available.
- the VLR stores the last known location information for each subscriber. The threshold value is used such that no paging is needed if the last known location information is newer than the threshold value, which value is set by the system operator.
- Figure 1 illustrates an example of a CAMEL based mobile communication system in which an embodiment of the invention may be implemented
- Figure 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps for implementing a preferred embodiment of the invention in the communication system of Figure 1;
- Figure 3 illustrates the main features of a network element adapted to implement a preferred embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 4 illustrates a further example of a mobile communication system implementing location services in which an embodiment of the invention may be implemented.
- Figure 5 is a flow diagram illustrating the steps for implementing a preferred embodiment of the invention in the commumcation system of Figure 4.
- FIG. 1 shows the main elements necessary in order to describe the application of the present invention in a CAMEL phase 3 implementation. Only such elements of the implementation are shown which are necessary for an understanding of the present invention.
- a core network 6 including a home location register (HLR) 8 and a mobile-services switching centre (MSC) 10.
- the mobile-services switching centre 10 is associated with a visitor location register (NLR) 12.
- SCP service control point
- SCP GSM service control function
- gsmSCF GSM service control function
- the gsmSCF in Figure 1 is shown only by way of example, and the functional entity gsmSCF may be implemented as part of any other network element.
- a base station sub system or radio access network (BSS/RA ⁇ ) 14 comprises the interface between the core network 6 and mobile stations, one of which mobile stations is represented by mobile station (MS) 16.
- the service control point 2 is the network element implementing the gsmSCF functionality.
- the gsmSCF 4 is the functional entity that contains the CAMEL service logic to implement operator specific services.
- the present invention is particularly concerned with the provision of location based information. Therefore the. elements of Figure 1 represent those elements of the core network 6 required for implementation of such.
- the CAMEL phase 3 arrangement of Figure 1 will now be described by way of reference to Figs. 2 and 3, utilising the present invention.
- the gsmSCF 4 requests the location of the mobile station 16 by sending a MAP any time interrogation (ATI) message to the HLR 8. This request is sent on a signal line 18 from the gsmSCF 4 to the HLR 8.
- the request received by the HLR 8 identifies the mobile station 16.
- the HLR 8 stores the identity of the NLR in which the mobile station 16 is currently registered.
- the HLR 8 stores also the identity of the mobile-services switching centre 10.
- the HLR 8 sends the location request to the NLR 12 via communication link 20.
- step 30 the application, i.e. the gsmSCF 4, requests the current MS location.
- step 32 the HLR 8 determines the NLR 12 associated with the mobile station.
- step 34 the HLR request the MS location from the NLR 12.
- the visitor location register 12 and mobile-services switching centre 10 determines whether the user equipment, i.e. the mobile station 16, is currently active. If the mobile station 16 is currently active, then the location of the mobile station is known due to the active call connection. Thus in a step 38 the mobile-services switching centre returns the current cell global identity (CGI) or service area identity (SAI) to the HLR 8 via the communication link 20.
- CGI cell global identity
- SAI service area identity
- step 36 If in step 36 it is determined that the mobile station is not active, i.e. it is in idle mode, then the MSC 10 determines the time of the last known location in a step 40.
- the NLR 12 stores the last known location of each mobile station, together with the time at which that location was determined.
- the time at which the last known location for the mobile station was determined is compared to a threshold value. For example, based on the current time the time elapsed since the last known location was determined may be calculated, and the threshold time may be a value of elapsed time. As is discussed further hereinbelow, the threshold time is preferably set by the operator of the network.
- the threshold time is intended to be a representation of the "freshness" of the last known location. For example, for a given application it may be acceptable if the location information is less than a certain time period old. For example certain location services may only require that the location information is provided within a 30 second window. In such cases, the threshold value will be set at a 30 second time period. Further discussion in relation to the setting of the threshold value is given hereinbelow.
- step 44 the last known CGI or service area identity is returned to the HLR 8 on communication link 20.
- step 46 the mobile station is paged through the BSS/RAN 14.
- the MSC 10 communicates with the BSS/RAN 14 via communication links 22.
- the BSS RAN 14 sends a paging signal to the mobile station 16 on the air interface communication link 24.
- the mobile station 16 sends a signal to the BSS RAN 14 via the air interface communication link 24, which in turn is forwarded to the mobile-services switching centre 10 via the commumcation link 22.
- the CGI or service area identity of the mobile station 16 is known, and in a step 48 the current CGI or service area identity is returned to the HLR 8.
- the location information is returned to the application gsmSCF 4 via communication link 18 from the HLR 8.
- the present invention advantageously uses a threshold value in order to determine when the mobile station should be paged in order to determine its location.
- a threshold value in order to determine when the mobile station should be paged in order to determine its location.
- the value of the threshold is determined preferably by the operator of the network.
- the threshold value may be dynamically variable, in dependence upon network conditions or operator requirements.
- the application itself may also indicate to the threshold value that it tolerates.
- the application may send a threshold value with a location request.
- the value of the threshold may also vary in dependence upon an accuracy required. For example, if the application required to know the location of the mobile station within an accuracy of 1km, then a large threshold time may be tolerable. However if accuracy was required to be within 100m, then a small threshold value may only be tolerable. Requested accuracy can be indicated currently only within location services procedure, not in CAMEL ATI. An example implementation of the invention using location services is given hereinbelow.
- the threshold value may also be dynamically adjustable in dependence upon the characteristics of the mobile station. For example if it is know that the mobile station is fast moving, then the threshold value may only be a small value.
- the threshold value is not used in the case where the mobile station is currently active. However, it may be advantageous to use the threshold value in a similar way for actively connected mobile stations. This is discussed further hereinbelow with reference to a different embodiment.
- FIG 3 there is illustrated elements of an exemplary visitor location register 12 and mobile-services switching centre 10 for implementing a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the elements shown in Figure 3 are for illustrative purposes only and do not necessarily represent elements which are essential to the implementation of the present invention. One skilled in the art will appreciate alternative implementations of the present invention. It should also be noted that in Figure 3 there is some overlap between functional elements of the mobile-services switching centre 10 and the associated visitor location register 12.
- the mobile-services switching centre or visitor location register includes a control block 72, a difference calculator block 82, a comparator block 84, a current time block (or clock) 80, and a storage means 60.
- the storage means 60 includes the visitor location register reference 62 in Figure 3, and an elapsed time special value storage element 70.
- the control block 72 receives a location request 74 on the communication link 20 from the HLR 8.
- the control block 72 also receives a signal on line 76 indicating the status of the mobile station, i.e. idle or active.
- the control block 72 is provided with a communication interface 78 for communicating with the various other elements of the mobile-services switching centre and visitor location register 12.
- the current time block 80 provides a current time on line 86 to the difference calculator 82.
- the visitor location register 62 receives on a line 64 an identity of a mobile station. Responsive to the identity of the mobile station on line 64, in conjunction with appropriate control signals from the control block 72 on lines 78, the time of the last known location of the mobile station is read out on line 68 and provides a second input to the difference calculator 82.
- the difference calculator subtracts the time at which the last known location was determined from the current time, in order to determine an elapsed time.
- the elapsed time is output from the difference calculator on line 88, and forms a first input to the comparator 84.
- a second input to the comparator 84 is provided by an elapsed time threshold value storage means 70 within the storage means 60.
- the comparator determines whether the elapsed time on line 88 is less than or greater than the threshold value stored in the storage means 70.
- the output on line 90 of the comparator 84 therefore simply gives an indication of whether the comparison is negative or positive.
- the threshold indication on line 90 is provided to the control block as one of the control signals 78. If in the comparator 84 it is determined that the elapsed time threshold value has not been exceeded, then the control block 72 controls the visited location register 62 to read out the last known location on a line 66 which is returned to the HLR 8. If in fact the threshold value has been exceeded, then as described hereinabove with reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the control block 72 initiates a paging of the mobile station in accordance with known techniques.
- a core network 114 comprises a gateway mobile location centre (GMLC) 102, a home location register (HLR) 104, a mobile- services switching centre (MSC) 106 including a visitor location register 108.
- the mobile- services switching centre 106 is associated with the radio access network (RAN) or base station sub system (BSS) 110, which interfaces with the mobile station 112.
- RAN radio access network
- BSS base station sub system
- a location services (LCS) client represents an application which may request the location of the mobile station 112.
- the location services client 100 communicates with the GMLC 102 of the core network via communication links 116.
- the GMLC 102 communicates with the HLR 104 via communication links 118.
- the GMLC connects with the MSC 106 via communication links 120.
- the MSC 106 communicates with the RAN/BSS 110 via communication links 122.
- the RAN/BSS 110 communicates with the mobile station 112 via air interface communication links 124.
- a client such as LCS client 100 requests a current MS location by transmitting a request on communication link 116 to the GMLC 102. Responsive thereto, the GMLC 102 requests a current MSC address for the mobile station from the HLR 104 on communication link 118, as represented by step 132. The HLR 104 then returns the current MSC address, in step 134, on communication link 118 to the GMLC 102. The GMLC then requests the current MS location from the MSC . 106, on communication link 120, as represented by step 136.
- the mobile-services switching centre 106 determines whether the mobile station 112 is currently active. If the mobile station 112 is currently active, then in a step 140 the mobile-services switching centre 106 sends a location request to the RAN/BSS 110 using existing communication link 122. Paging is not required, as the radio link is already established. After receiving the location request the RAN/BSS determines the location estimate of the mobile station using conventional techniques, which may involve signalling between the RAN BSS 110 and the mobile station 112 over the air-interface 124. If it is determined in step 138 that the mobile station is not active, i.e.
- the mobile-services switching centre 106 retrieves the last known location of the mobile station from the visitor location register 108. In doing so, the mobile-services switching centre also retrieves the time of the last known location determhiation for the mobile station 112. This is represented by step 142 in Figure 5. h a step 144, the mobile-services switching centre 106 then determines whether the time associated with the last known location is less than the stored threshold value. If the time is less than the stored threshold value, then in step 150 the last known location is returned to the GMLC 102 on communication links 120. If in step 144 it is determined that the time of the last known location exceeds the threshold value, then in a step 146 the mobile station is paged.
- a location request is sent to the RAN BSS 110.
- the paging is sent to the mobile station 112 via the RAN/BSS 110.
- the RAN/BSS determines the location estimate of the mobile station using conventional techniques, which may involve signalling between the RAN/BSS 110 and the mobile station 112 over the air-interface 124.Then the RAN/BSS 110 returns the estimated geographical coordinate position of the mobile station to the mobile- services switching centre 106 on lines 122.
- the MSC 106 returns the location estimate to the GMLC 102.
- the location information is returned to the LCS client 100 by the GMLC.
- the use of the threshold value may also be used in relation to mobile stations which are currently active. In the embodiment of Figure 4, such use of the threshold value may be advantageous. If an aheady dete ⁇ ined and stored location information can be used, then this may save radio resources in having to save a further location request to the mobile station on the radio access network.
- the technique is implemented responsive to a location request. It is also an important part of the present invention that the threshold level is preferably dynamically changeable, and that the operator sets the threshold level in the mobile-services switching centre 106 or visitor location register 108.
- the LCS client 100 or gsmSCF 4 provides the threshold level as part of location request data.
