In current techniques, at first LSC must obtain user's application layer sign (true identity or anonymous identity), then use the outside sign of above-mentioned application layer to GMLC request location service information, then GMLC utilizes internal indicator and UPS, ACF to obtain alternately user's position the internal indicator of outside sign mapping gruping insertion network.
when the user accesses Internet service by gruping insertion network, access the application server of the provider of map application on the Internet such as the user, need to obtain user's positional information accurately, and according to positional information for the user information on services such as near the cartographic information providing and hotel, because IP address and application server that UE uses gruping insertion network to distribute are mutual, be that application request and response message and content all are carried in the IP packet, at this moment the application server IP address that can be directly obtains the user from IP packet packet header, but possibly can't obtain user's outside sign of application layer accurately, the location-based service business that so just causes application server can't use the grouping Mobile Access Network to provide, thereby limited the range of application of location service.And if use the IP address as the outside sign of user, due to IP address dynamic assignment normally, can't use IP address unique identification user, and and by the IP address determining that the chain of command network element ACF of gruping insertion network is more difficult, therefore technical shortage feasibility.
the main cause that produces the problems referred to above is that existing gruping insertion network location service uses the application layer sign (as MSISDN, SIP URI) by chain of command network element request location service, and in the scene of above-mentioned Internet service of lifting, because UE exchanges by user's face (being the IP packet) and application server, if do not carry application layer sign trusty in request message, can only to obtain user's user's face sign (be the IP address to application server so, a kind of in user's bearing identification described herein), therefore the service that can't use existing gruping insertion network location service to provide is provided, limited the service range of gruping insertion network location service, also can't satisfy the demand of a lot of Internet services.
