Abstract
To efficiently support location services, a base station receives an uplink (UL) message from a user equipment (UE) (). The base station determines whether the UL message includes a positioning protocol message associated with a positioning protocol for exchanging information related to a location service (). In a first instance, in response to determining that the UL message includes the positioning protocol message, the base station sends the positioning protocol message to a local entity that implements a location service (). In a second instance, in response to determining that the message does not include any positioning protocol messages, the base station sends at least some of the data included in the UL message to a remote node ().
