Abstract
A network node () is configured for use in a wireless communication network (). The network node () receives one or more positioning capabilities () of a wireless device (), and stores the one or more positioning capabilities () in storage () that is at or accessible to the network node (). After storing the one or more positioning capabilities () of the wireless device (), the network node () receives a positioning request () for the wireless device (). Responsive to receiving the positioning request (), the network node () retrieves the one or more positioning capabilities () of the wireless device () from the storage (), and sends, to a positioning server () in the wireless communication network (), a message that comprises the positioning request () and that includes the one or more positioning capabilities () retrieved from the storage (). The wireless device operates thus proactively, by rendering available the wireless device positioning capability at the network node before the positioning request is received and allowing the network node to reply in a reduced time.
