A method of providing information regarding a mobile station adapted for communication via a communication system is provided. In the method an area event notification request is received at a location service entity provided in association with the communication system, the area event notification request containing information associated with the identity of the mobile station and an area of interest. Monitoring for an event indicative of a change in the presence status of the mobile station relative to said area of interest is then activated. A notification is signalled in response to detection of such event.

Provision of information regarding a mobile station

A method of providing information regarding a mobile station adapted for communication via a communication system is provided. In the method an area even notification request is received at a location service entity provided in association with the communication system, the area event notification request containing information associated with the identity of the mobile station and an area of interest. Monitoring for an even indicative of a change in the presence status of the mobile station relative to said area of interest is then activated. A notification is signalled in response to detection of such event.

A method and system locates a mobile terminal addressed in a location service request using an overlay identity. According to one aspect of the invention a location service client accesses a first subscriber database, thereby providing said overlay identity, in order to derive a cellular identity of said mobile terminal. According to another aspect of the invention the location service client accesses a location service server in order thereby providing said overlay identity. The location service server initiates a privacy check using said overlay identity and in response receives a cellular identity. The cellular identity then may be used to request a location service to enhance functionality.

Method and system for locating a mobile terminal

An apparatus and method thereof include a service support node. The service support node is configured to read an override feature defined therein by an operator indicative of whether a maximum bitrate requested by a mobile station is to be used in a quality of service negotiation or whether the maximum bitrate from a register is to be used in a quality of service negotiation.

Streaming quality optimization

In a communication system, a method for providing a location service with geographical location information associated with a user equipment capable of communicating with the communication system is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: storing connection information identifying a connection of the user equipment in the communication system; and determining whether the user equipment is currently connected in the network. Wherein, responsive to the user equipment not currently being connected in the network, the location of the user equipment is determined in dependence on the last stored connection information for the user equipment. The method also includes the step of translating the connection information into geographical coordinates.

Providing location information of a user equipment

The invention relates to a method for controlling information provided to a user in a telecommunications network from at least one information provider. The network has identifying information defining the at least one type of information which can be provided to the user. The method comprises the steps of determining the type of information which an information provider proposed to provide to the user; and uses the identifying information and the determined type of information to control if the proposed information can be provided to the user.

Method and equipment for controlling information provided to a user in a network

A telecommunications system comprises at least one user and provides a first entity for storing information defining a privacy profile for at least one user. A second entity is arranged to store an association between at least one user and the first entity and the system is such that in response to a request for information relating to the user, the association stored in the second entity is used to identify the first entity so that a check can be made with respect to the privacy profile as to whether or not the requested information, can be provided.
