In plain words
TS 23.273 specifies the stage 2 of the service-based architecture used for location services in the 5G system "service-based architecture used for location services in the 5G system". It also specifies corresponding Network Functions (NFs), NF services and procedures to meet requirements defined in TS 22.261 and TS 22.071. The specified Location Services include regulatory location services and commercial location services, while architecture and signalling procedures in NG-RAN are defined in TS 38.305.

How this page was made
The facts box and the tables come straight from the 3GPP specification archive and CR database as indexed by 3GPP Scout. An AI model (GPT-6 Luna) wrote the paragraph and named the source of each sentence. Code checked every quote word for word against the stored source text and every number against the cited source. A second AI model from another company (Claude Opus 5.5) reviewed the paragraph against the same sources. The 3GPP documents themselves govern.
