BrochureOverview
Accurate location services find its use in many public operations such as emergency services, vehicle tracking, stolen assets tracking, advertising, and social networking. For many years, Satellite based GPS (Global Positioning System) has been one of the most popular positioning method. The assisted GPS (A-GPS) was then introduced within the mobile devices that use cellular services to track devices by its Cell ID (CID) - the serving cell of a specific user.
However, these methods presented limitations in their own way to track devices that were mobile, and were unavailable on remote terrains. This resulted in development of hybrid-position systems that uses a combination of different technologies (such as Cell Global Identity - CGI, Timing Advance - TA, Time of Arrival - TOA, E-OTD - Enhanced Observed Time Difference, and Assisted GPS - AGPS) to accurately determine the co-ordinates of a device that is mobile. The Location Services (LCS) architecture defined the process of mapping the received coordinates, expressed in latitude and longitude in a well-defined universal format, to the geographical area and sending this information back to the requested services. The LCS architecture distributes positioning functionality across different network elements and defines a network element as the positioning node. It specifies all the necessary network elements and entities, their functionalities, interfaces, necessary for positioning in a cellular network. LCS architecture follows a client/server model with the positioning node acting as the server providing information to external LCS clients.
In the GSM, UMTS LCS architecture, GMLC (Gateway Mobile Location Center) is the positioning node and center point of the architecture that holds the position information by communicating with other network elements within the network. All LCS clients communicates with this node to request positioning information. Additionally, the GSM network includes separate nodes, Service Mobile Location Center (SMLC) that resides within BSC and Location Measurements Units (LMU) that resides within BS, for calculating and updating the location measurements. The control plane location service architecture for EPS introduced in 3GPP is illustrated in the figure above.

Positioning Methods
Location or distances between two devices, can be estimated using different methodologies, some of them are listed which are based on classification of the positioning methods, which basically divides them between network based and handset based methods.
Network Based
- Cell Global Identity (CGI): This positioning method gives the current cell location of the target MS based on the cell global identification or the Location Area Code (LAC) plus Cell Identity (CI).
- Timing Advance (TA): This is one of the known methods to calculate the location of MS where the time is calculated for the signal transfers from MS to the base station.
- Time of Arrival (TOA): In this method, the position of MS is calculated based on the signal sent from MS to the three LMUs (Location Measurement Unit), where the geographical co-ordinates in LMU is already known.
- Angle of Arrivals (AOA): In this method, the position calculation relies on smart BS antenna arrays required to measure the angle of the received signal.
- Time Difference of Arrivals (TDOA): In this method, the position of a mobile station is estimated by measuring the time difference of arrivals between the signal received at the serving BS and the same transmission received at other surrounding BSs.
Handset Based
- E-OTD: Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD) Positioning Method – MS-based E-OTD is the handset-based alternative to Uplink TDOA (U-TDOA). The E-OTD method needs at least three BTS’s where the logic is to calculate position with Observed Time Difference (OTD), Round Trip Delay (RTD), and Geometric Time Difference (GTD).
- Assisted GPS: AGPS provides the most accurate position of an entity which is approximately in 10 meters range. The position calculation is based on the radio signals sent by satellite to receiver (MS).
The positioning methods used by different network can be summarized as below –
- Standard Positioning Methods in GERAN
- Cell coverage based positioning method
- Enhanced Observed Time Difference (E-OTD) positioning method
- A-GNSS based positioning method
- Uplink Time Difference of Arrival (UTDOA) positioning method
- Standard Positioning Methods in UTRAN
- Cell coverage based positioning method
- OTDOA positioning method
- A-GNSS based positioning methods
- UTDOA positioning method
- Standard Positioning Methods in E-UTRAN
- Uplink and downlink cell coverage based positioning methods
- OTDOA positioning method
- A-GNSS based positioning methods
- UTDOA positioning method

All LCS clients communicate with this node to request positioning information. Additionally, the GSM network includes separate nodes, Service Mobile Location Center (SMLC) that resides within BSC and Location Measurements Units (LMU) that resides within BS, for calculating and updating the location measurements.

- Lh interface - The HLR is accessible to the GMLC via the Lh interface

LCS Procedures in GSM
GL’s MAPS™ LCS test suite comprises of multiple products working in tandem to support simulation of end-to-end location based services in GSM, UMTS, and LTE networks.
Specifically, to test location services in GSM network, GL’s MAPS™ MAP IPsignaling emulator is enhanced to simulate LCS procedures over Lg and Lh interfaces using MAP signaling protocol. MS initiated Location Report Procedure is supported over Lg Interface between GMLC and MSC and network initiated Location Retrieval Procedure is supported over Lh Interface between GMLC and HLR.
Further, the MAPS™ Lbinterface emulator supports Location Service Request procedure over Lb interface between BSC and SMLC using BSSMAP-LE signaling protocol. These are discussed briefly below.
Within MAPS™ the Location Estimate parameters such as Type of Shape and coordinates are input through conventional user profiles or are fetched from a CSV file every time it sends the location estimate to the client. This selection is to be made by the user in Profile configuration.
If the selection is 'Profile' all the values present in the particular profile will be sent in the message response. If the selection is made as ‘CSV’, an entry from the csv file is loaded and all the values from the fetched record will be sent in the message response.
These coordinates indicate different position of MS at different intervals of time and report is sent either periodically at specified time duration or at once when requested.

The LCS architecture in LTE follows a client/server model with the positioning functionality distributed across LTE radio nodes, eNodeBs, Mobile Management Entity (MME), Evolved-Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC) and Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC). As depicted in the diagram above, some of the important interfaces participating in the location request and response in LTE network are summarized below:

- SLg interface - MME is accessible to the GMLC via the SLg interface using Diameter protocol
- SLh interface - HSS is accessible to the GMLC via the SLh interface using Diameter protocol
LTE operates using two positioning protocols via the radio network: LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP) and LPP Annex (LPPa). LPP protocol supports hybrid positioning method, in which two or more position methods are used simultaneously to provide accurate measurements. The LTE Positioning Protocols (LPP and LPPa) are carried in LCS-AP PDUs over established SCTP session between an E-SMLC and MME.
Location estimation uses hybrid positioning methodologies from the list of positioning methods given below. These positioning methods may be UE-based, network-based, UE-assisted, network-assisted and/or combination of these methods. The main difference is that the network-based measurements do their calculations at the infrastructure, while the UE based measurements do their calculations at the device.
The standard positioning methods used in LTE network are:
- Enhanced Cell-ID (network based, handset assisted)
- OTDOA positioning method (network based, handset assisted)
- UTDOA positioning method (network based)
- A-GNSS based positioning methods (handset based, network-assisted)
