Abstract
A system and method for discovering user equipment in a network is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a discovery proxy periodically scans an access router that serves a target user equipment and collects an address assignment record of the target user equipment via the access router. The discovery proxy passes the address assignment record to a discovery server, and the discovery server identifies a location of the target user equipment based on the address assignment record of the target user equipment.
