Abstract
A system (101) interconnects with a communication system via standard interfaces to provide location information related to a mobile station (103) within the communication system. The system (101) includes location device equipment (121) which generates raw location information of the mobile station (103) based on input received from a message compatible with the communication system. The system (101) also includes a mediation device (118) which stores location information related to the mobile station (103) and also interfaces with radio control functionality within the communication system. The system (101) further includes a location calculator (124) which determines the location information related to the mobile station (103) based on the raw location information of the mobile station (103) and which also provides the location information related to the mobile station (103) to the mediation device (118) for storage and to an intelligent network device (106) for use in location based services (127).
