Abstract

An implementation of a system, device and method for communicating location data of a mobile station, enhancing location data, optimally communicating Assistance Data, and/or reducing rebids of Measure Position Request messages in a wireless network.

1 . A method of enhancing location data of a mobile station in a wireless network, the method, in the mobile station, comprising:

receiving a Measure Position Request message comprising a network accuracy and a network response time;

selecting an accuracy between the network accuracy and a temporary accuracy different from the network accuracy

determining location data of the mobile station using the selected accuracy;

forming a Measure Position Response message responsive to the Measure Position Request message, wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises the location data;

transmitting the Measure Position Response message.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy less than the network accuracy.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an uncertainty of greater than 100 meters.

10 . A method of enhancing location data of a mobile station in a wireless network, the method, in a network, comprising:

selecting an accuracy between a network accuracy and a temporary accuracy different from the network accuracy;

transmitting a Measure Position Request message comprising the selected accuracy and a network response time; and

receiving a Measure Position Response message responsive to the Measure Position Request message, wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises a location data.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy less than the network accuracy.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an uncertainty of greater than 100 meters.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy greater than the network accuracy.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an uncertainty of less than 10 meters.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an uncertainty of 0 meters.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the act of selecting comprises determining the selected accuracy base on whether a rebid previously occurred.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the Measure Position Request message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Request message.

18 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Response message.

19 . A mobile station for enhancing location data of the mobile station in a wireless network, the mobile station comprising:

a receiver to receive a Measure Position Request message comprising a network accuracy and a network response time;

logic to select an accuracy between the network accuracy and a temporary accuracy different from the network accuracy

a location engine to determine location data of the mobile station using the selected accuracy;

logic to form a Measure Position Response message responsive to the Measure Position Request message, wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises the location data;

a transmitter to transmit the Measure Position Response message.

20 . The mobile station of claim 19 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy less than the network accuracy.

21 . The mobile station of claim 19 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy greater than the network accuracy.

22 . The mobile station of claim 19 , wherein the Measure Position Request message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Request message.

23 . The mobile station of claim 19 , wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Response message.

24 . A network for enhancing location data of a mobile station in a wireless network, the network comprising:

logic to select an accuracy between a network accuracy and a temporary accuracy different from the network accuracy;

a transmitter to transmit a Measure Position Request message comprising the selected accuracy and a network response time; and

a receiver to receive a Measure Position Response message responsive to the Measure Position Request message, wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises a location data.

25 . The network of claim 24 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy less than the network accuracy.

26 . The network of claim 24 , wherein the temporary accuracy represents an accuracy greater than the network accuracy.

27 . The network of claim 24 , wherein the Measure Position Request message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Request message.

28 . The network of claim 24 , wherein the Measure Position Response message comprises an RRLP Measure Position Response message.

29 . A mobile station for enhancing location data of the mobile station in a wireless network, the mobile station comprising:

means for receiving a Measure Position Request message comprising a network accuracy and a network response time;

means for selecting an accuracy between the network accuracy and a temporary accuracy different from the network accuracy

means for determining location data of the mobile station using the selected accuracy;
