PRCF
Positioning Radio Coordination Function

The Positioning Radio Control Function manages the positioning of a mobile through the overall coordination and scheduling of resources to perform positioning measurements. This function interfaces with the PSMF (Positioning Signal Measurement Function) and PCF (Positioning Calculation Function) and possibly with a PRAF (Positioning Radio Assistance Function). The PRCF determines the positioning method to be used based on the QoS (Quality of Service), the capabilities of the network and the mobile’s location capabilities.
