Abstract

There is proposed solution submitted to the GeoPriv work group that outlines the need for a location recipient to obtain the location of a target without the target's knowledge. The scenario is described as supporting a legacy device (a device lacking support for location) for the purposes of utilizing location when the legacy device summons emergency help (by dialing 911/112, etc.).
