1. A method for responding to an over-the-air paging message with a user equipment (UE), wherein the over-the-air paging message is based on a network positioning message for determining a position of the UE with a base station, comprising:
receiving, while in an idle state, the over-the-air paging message indicating a dedicated resource to perform access, wherein the over-the-air paging message is based on a network positioning message;
generating, while in the idle state, a ciphered secure message including identification information associated with the UE;
performing, while in the idle state, access and providing the ciphered secure message using the dedicated resource, wherein providing the ciphered secure message includes transmitting the ciphered secure message to the dedicated resource to determine the position of the UE with the base station; and
receiving, while in the idle state, an acknowledgement message in response to performing access, a payload of the acknowledgement message including an indication to remain in the idle state.
