Abstract

Emerging mobile applications will need location information for delivering the right services to right persons at right places and time. A location-based service (LBS) is an information and entertainment service, accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network and utilizing the ability to make use of the geographical position of the mobile device. If, LBS service needs any specific hardware for delivering it, then it may be an optional choice for users. But with wireless communication technology user get access Location-Based services with their User Equipments like Mobile. Such an emerging Wireless Communication technology is 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has proposed the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) as a key element in the UMTS architecture supporting multimedia services in the packet switched domain.

[...] If positioning delivers a spatial location, it will be mapped onto a descriptive location in order to be interpretable by the LBS user Location Service (LCS) LCS should be distinguished from LBS as it exclusively deals with the localization of target, and also makes the resulting location data available to 4. IMS Location Server (ILS) The ILS is designed as a generic SIP Application Server located in the IMS Service Layer. Methods for determining user positions are not implemented within ILS; rather, ILS is responsible for delegating the location request to the positioning system. [...]

Service Layer 2. Control Layer 3. Connectivity Layer Of the most significant protocols used in the IMS, we point out the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) chosen by 3GPP as the protocol for session establishment, modification, and release. The Service Layer comprises application and content servers to execute valueadded services for the user. [...]

[...] User Location in LBS User Plane Location allows a client on the mobile device to communicate with a location server across a secure IP tunnel set up over the operator's existing data network. No expensive upgrades to existing signaling networks are required. By bypassing the control plane designed to handle voice calls and everything that entails, User Plane Location Architectures allow for low cost implementation and faster time-tomarket. User Plane Location is not dependent on the network architecture or radio access technology. [...]
