TRUSTED MODE LOCATION SERVICE FOR MOBILE DEVICE ACCESS TO PRIVATE NETWORK BASED APPLICATIONS

摘要

In response to a location assistance request initiated by a mobile device on a private network and directed to a data access port of a location server in a public mobile communication network, a source network address is extracted from the received request. If the extracted source network address is determined to be associated with a trusted private network domain, location assistance data obtained by the location server is provided to the mobile device on the private network without requiring any proprietary messaging schemes or application-specific authentication credentials.
