Location Service Configuration Mode Commands

The Location Service Configuration Mode is used to manage LoCation Services (LCS). Using LCS, the system (MME or SGSN) can collect and use or share location (geographical position) information for connected UEs in support of a variety of location services.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > Location Service Configuration

configure > context context_name > location-service service_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[context_name]host_name(config-location-service)#
Important:

The commands or keywords/variables that are available are dependent on platform type, product version, and installed license(s).

associate

Associates or disassociates supportive interfaces or services with this location service instance.

Syntax

Syntax Description

associate { diameter { dictionary standard | endpoint } | map-service map_svc_name | sls-service sls_svc_name  }
default associate diameter dictionary 
no associate { diameter endpoint | map-service | sls-service }

default

Returns the command to its default value of 'standard'.

no

Disassociates a previously associated interface or service with this location service.

diameter dictionary standard

Associates a Diameter dictionary with this location service. The standard dictionary contains definitions per the 3GPP definition.

diameter endpoint endpoint_name

Specifies the Diameter endpoint for this location service, which includes the hostname, peer configuration, and other Diameter base configuration.

map-service map_svc_name

Associates a Mobile Application Part (MAP) service with this location service.

This keyword is applicable for SGSN only.

map_sv_svc_name specifies the name for a pre-configured MAP service to associate with this location service.

sls-service sls_svc_name

Associates an SLs service with this location service. The SLs service provides an interface between the MME and Evolved Serving Mobile Location Center (E-SMLC).

This keyword is applicable for MME only.

sls_svc_name specifies the name for a pre-configured SLs service to associate with this location service.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to specify the Diameter dictionary and endpoint to be used for this location service, or associate supportive services with this location service.

The location service provides SLg (MME) interface support or Lg (SGSN) interface support via the Diameter protocol between the MME or SGSN and the GLMC.

Examples

The following command associates a pre-configured Diameter endpoint named test12 to this location service:
associate diameter endpoint test12

destination-host

Configures the host name of the GLMC to be used for this Location service. When defined, this host name is populated in the destination-host AVP.

Mode

Exec > Global Configuration > Context Configuration > Location Service Configuration

configure > context context_name > location-service service_name

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

[context_name]host_name(config-location-service)#

Syntax

Syntax Description

destination-host destination_host 
no destination-host

no

Removes the configured destination host.

destination_host

Defines the host name to be used for be a string from 1 to 63 characters.

Usage Guidelines

To comply with 3GPP TS29.172, the Destination-Host AVP is sent to the GMLC for all the Location Report Request (LRR) messages initiated by MME.

Use this command to configure the destination-host AVP for this Location service.

If this command is not configured, the peer host name configured in the diameter endpoint is encoded as destination-host AVP. Refer to the peer command in the Diameter Endpoint Configuration Mode.

end

Exits the current configuration mode and returns to the Exec mode.

Entering the above command sequence results in the following prompt:

Syntax

Syntax Description

[ default ] timeout { area-event-invoke-timer aietimer_seconds | lcsn lcns_seconds | periodic-event-invoke-timer peitimer_seconds | ue-available-guard-timer ueagtimer_seconds

default

Resets the specified timer to the default value.

area-event-invoke-timer aietimer_seconds

This timer, set in seconds, is used to guard the area event invoke procedure.

aietimer_seconds is an integer from 10 through 20. Default is 15.

lcsn lcns_seconds

Sets the NAS location service notification timer defining how long the SGSN will wait (in seconds) before aborting the Location Service Request, and release all resources allocated for the transaction.

lcns_seconds is an integer from 10 through 20. Default is 15.

periodic-event-invoke-timer peitimer_seconds

Thi timer, set in seconds, is used to guard the period location invoke procedure.

peitimer_seconds is an integer from 10 to 20. Default is 15.

ue-available-guard-timer ueagtimer_seconds

This timer, set in seconds, is used to guard the packet-switched deferred location request (UE available event) procedures.

ueagtimer_seconds is an integer from 10 to 600. Default is 600.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to set the amount of time the SGSN waits to perform various location service procedures.

Examples

The following command can be used to set the time the SGSN will wait, for example 12 seconds, before aborting the Location Service Request:
timeout lcns 12 
The following command can be used to set the timeout for the UE available guard timer to 460 seconds:
timeout ue-available-guard-timer 460
