Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé d'information interactif permettant de faire une demande d'information de position périodique auprès d'un service de positionnement, et se rapporte aux techniques de positionnement d'une unité réseau. Le terminal demandeur envoie une demande d'information de position périodique au système du service de positionnement (LCS). Ce procédé comprend les étapes suivantes: Le centre R-GMLC envoie une demande périodique d'information de position portant un numéro d'identification à CN par les centres H-GMLC/V-GMLC; CN reçoit la demande périodique d'information et de position et mémorise ledit numéro d'identification. RAN et CN déterminent conjointement la position de l'équipement utilisateur recherché, et envoient la position résultante de l'équipement utilisateur recherché au terminal demandeur. Lorsque l'équipement utilisateur recherché émet une demande d'information de position, CN peut traiter la demande d'information de position périodique de manière précise et complète.
