Abstract
A technique to extend location-based (e.g. GPS) mobile device battery lifetime by reducing the location-based (e.g. GPS) circuitry power consumption is provided. The technique defines and controls when to start power and when to stop power to the device in the context of a mobile terminating (MT) location request and/or a mobile originated (MO) location request that is either on-demand or periodic.
