Abstract
A telecommunications system and method is disclosed for requiring a Mobile Station (MS) that calculates it's own position within a cellular network to report that calculated location to the requester. The MS can determine and store the location of the MS, along with a time stamp, in a memory therein at predefined intervals determined by the requestor. Once the location information has been calculated and stored, the MS can report all of the relevant historical location information to the requestor at predefined intervals determined by the requestor.
