Question: Which of the following statements accurately describes the primary function and scope of the Lgd interface in telecom networks?
Option 1: The Lgd interface facilitates direct communication between User Equipment (UE) and Gateway Mobile Location Centers (GMLC) for location-based services.
Option 2: The Lgd interface is used by the GMLC to request and receive location information of a target UE from the serving SGSN, specifically for EPS (Evolved Packet System) based networks.
Option 3: The Lgd interface enables the exchange of subscriber data between different SGSNs during intersystem handovers, enhancing location management.
Option 4: The primary purpose of the Lgd interface is to manage and optimize network resources for Location Services (LCS) across all wireless network technologies.
Explanation: This option correctly identifies that the Lgd interface serves as a communication link between the Gateway Mobile Location Centre (GMLC) and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) for requesting and providing location information of a target User Equipment (UE). It also accurately limits the scope to EPS (Evolved Packet System) based networks, aligning with the technical specifics of telecom network architectures for location services.
