Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate enabling a user equipment (UE) to independently process and determine its own location within a designated coverage area. For example, the UE can obtain signals from wireless communication nodes deployed throughout the designated coverage, and can determine its location based on these signals. The UE can then selectively communicate its location to a communication platform service (CPS), such as when a change in location is detected. In this way, the CPS can maintain an accurate record of the UE's location without relying on continuous updates of location data from the UE. By allowing the UE to handle its own location determination and convey the location information only when certain conditions are met, the inventive concepts advantageously decrease the frequency of communications by the UE, thereby conserving battery life of the UE and reducing overall data consumption.
