Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a terminal device may receive location service user plane (LCUP) assistance information in a control plane (CP) positioning protocol signaling. The LCUP assistance information includes at least one of addressing information of an LCUP function instance, and security information for establishing an user plane (UP) session between the terminal device and the LCUP function instance. The LCUP function instance is associated with a location management function (LMF) selected for serving the terminal device. The terminal device can establish a secured UP connection between the terminal device and the LCUP function instance using the LCUP assistance information so as to perform a UP positioning operation using the LCUP function instance. The terminal device can ensure the UE establishes a secured connection with the LCUP associated with the serving LMF, thereby CP location operation through the UP interaction between the terminal device and the LUCP associated with LMF.
