METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPORTING A TERMINAL LOCATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PROMOTING NETWORK PERFORMANCE BY REDUCING OVERHEAD

摘要

PURPOSE: A method and apparatus for reporting a terminal location in a wireless communication system is provided to report the sketchy location information of a terminal to a network during a ranging procedure or a sequence transmission procedure. CONSTITUTION: When the application of an LBS(Location Based Service) is determined, a terminal determines the location information of the terminal according to a terminal based location tracking technology(704,706). The terminal selects one ranging code subset mapped on a division area from a plurality of ranging code subsets according to the location information(708). The terminal selects one ranging code from the selected ranging code subsets. The terminal transmits the selected ranging code to a base station(710).
