Abstract
Mobile stations initiate location determination sessions, such as at predetermined time intervals, with a wireless telecommunications network. The wireless telecommunications network obtains the locations of the mobile stations as a result of the location determination sessions, and the mobile station locations are stored in one or more location registers. The location information stored in the location register(s) may then be used by location-based applications. For example, an application may request that the wireless telecommunications network provide a specified service to the mobile stations that are located in a specified zone according to the mobile station locations stored in the location register(s).
