Abstract

A system and associated method of providing position specifications of a mobile telephone station is provided. A position specification is provided to a mobile station via a cell level general cell broadcast. When a specific telephone call is made from the mobile station to a center, the specific call will trigger the transmission of the position specification collected via the cell broadcast (CB). The position specification is transmitted from the mobile station via a short text message (SMS) to the center.
