Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for exposure of presence reporting area (PRA) functionality are disclosed for a wireless communication system. According to an embodiment, a service capability exposure function (SCEF) entity receives, from a requesting server, a first request for initiating PRA functionality for at least one user equipment (UE). The PRA functionality is used to monitor whether the at least one UE is located in at least one area of interest. The SCEF entity obtains at least one monitored result for the at least one UE from a mobility management node via a home subscriber server (HSS) or via a policy and charging rules function (PCRF) entity. The SCEF entity sends the at least one monitored result to the requesting server.
