Abstract

The invention provides a method, device, and system for obtaining user equipment (UE) location information. The method includes: an interworking entity (IWF) receives UE location information reported by a mobility management entity (MME); the IWF determines trusted UE location information according to the UE location information reported by the MME; and the IWF interacts with a UE or a mobile switching center (MSC) according to the trusted UE location information. With the method, device, and system, it is ensured that the MSC can obtain trusted and accurate UE location information in a circuit switched over packet switched (CSoPS) architecture.
