CCITT I.130 [4] describes a three-stage method for characterization of telecommunication services, and CCITT Q.65 [5]defines stage 2 of the method.
The LCS feature is a network feature and not a supplementary service. This version of the stage 2 service description covers aspects of LCS e.g., the functional model, architecture, positioning methods, message flows etc.
