full_form: Serving  Location Centre
context: in the figure, there are now two Signalling Users present, one is a genuine SCCP User (RANAP) while the other is an MTP-3 User (BICC). In the node on the right there are two SCTP Users, one is SUA and the other is M3UA. The same SCTP instance is used to serve both of its users there. In the node on the left the stack is different; there we have two M3UA Users, one is the BICC while the other is the SCCP. The same M3UA instance can serve both of its users. There is no interworking involved that would be caused by the presence of both MTP-3 Users (BICC) using M3UA and SCCP Users (RANAP) using SUA.
description: The Serving Location Centre (SMLC) manages location-related information and interactions between User Equipment (UE) and the network. It determines UE location using methods like pressure measurements, terrain data, and capability information.
explanation: The SMLC's role in managing location services and interacting with UEs for location determination clearly classifies it as a Network Function.
