Whenever a positioning request is received by a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC), the GMLC, before returning a response to the requester, e.g., either location information or a rejection message, maintains a positioning record of all information related to the positioning request for the mobile subscriber, including the identity of the requester. The GMLC can download this positioning record to a node associated with the mobile subscriber, such as a Mobile Station (MS) or billing center. | |
