Bringing Location Based Services to IP Multimedia Subsystem

Miran Mosmondor, Lea Skorin-Kapov Marko Kovacic

I'm interested in finding out which is the state-of-the-art of collecting, managing and distributing location information in the IMS. This paper presents an architecture that uses SIP mechanisms and the aplication server concept. The application servers ask using a SIP protocol to a centralized entity. This entity interacts with the server that actually contains the location information using MLP.

IMHO, these should not be the way of handling the location information since it should be closely tight to the presence information.
