4. The H-GMLC sends a location service request to a V-GMLC, where the location service request may be an LCS service request. Correspondingly, the V-GMLC receives the location service request from the H-GMLC. The location service request includes action indication information. For example, when the location privacy setting data obtained by the H-GMLC is allowing positioning, the H-GMLC sends the location service request to the V-GMLC, where the action indication information carried in the location service request is used to indicate to obtain the location information of the UE.
5. The V-GMLC sends a location service request to the AMF. Correspondingly, the AMF receives the location service request from the V-GMLC. The location service request may be a Namf_Location_Provide_positioningInfo_request. The location service request includes action indication information, to indicate the AMF to perform a corresponding location service operation.
6. If the UE is in an idle mode, the AMF triggers a network side service request to the UE. If the UE is in the idle mode, it indicates that no NAS signaling connection is established between the UE and the AMF. In this case, the AMF triggers a service request procedure on a UE side to establish a secure communication connection between the UE and a core network.
