Question: In NG-RAN, what is the expected typical sequence of LPP (Location Services) procedures between a UE and an LMF, despite allowing flexibility?
Option 1: 1. Location Information Transfer; 2. Assistance Data Transfer; 3. Capability Transfer
Option 2: 1. Capability Transfer; 2. Assistance Data Transfer; 3. Location Information Transfer
Option 3: 1. Assistance Data Transfer; 2. Location Information Transfer; 3. Capability Transfer
Option 4: 1. Location Information Transfer & Capability Transfer (concurrently); 2. Assistance Data Transfer
Explanation: This sequence makes logical sense in the context of establishing a positioning session efficiently. First, Capability Transfer ensures both parties understand each other’s capabilities. Next, Assistance Data Transfer provides necessary data to the UE for accurate location measurements. Finally, Location Information Transfer completes the process by exchanging the actual location-related data (measurements or estimates), aligning with a structured approach to positioning in NG-RAN.
