Abstract
A method and apparatus for suppressing subsequent re-request of a location request, for example a MO-LR request in a GSM communication system, by a mobile station (MS) (110) to the network. The method in the mobile station comprises transmitting (302) a location request message to a network. Then, at the MS, determining (304) that the network can not provide the requested location information. Creating (306) an indicator in a memory of the device that the network is not capable of providing the requested location information and finally suspending (308) subsequent transmission of location request message to the network.
