Abstract
In some examples, a wireless device receives, from a wireless access network node, an indication of a supported extended emergency information (EEI) type supported by a wireless local area network (WLAN). The supported EEI type is selected from among a plurality of different EEI types. The wireless device sends a message relating to an emergency call, the message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- sending, by a wireless device to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a first message to check for extended emergency information (EEI) support by the WLAN;
- receiving, by the wireless device from the WLAN, a first indication of EEI support by the WLAN and a second indication of a supported EEI type, wherein the supported EEI type is selected from among a plurality of different EEI types;
- determining, by the wireless device, that a wireless access network node of a wireless access network different from the WLAN supports a same EEI type as the supported EEI type indicated by the second indication;
- sending, by the wireless device to the wireless access network node, a second message relating to an emergency call, the second message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type;
- and
- sending, by the wireless device to the WLAN, EEI data according to the supported EEI type, wherein the EEI data according to the supported EEI type sent to the WLAN is included in a third message.
A wireless device comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the wireless interface and configured to:
- send, to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a first message to check for extended emergency information (EEI) support by the WLAN;
- receive, from the WLAN, a first indication of EEI support by the WLAN and a second indication of a supported EEI type, wherein the supported EEI type is selected from among a plurality of different EEI types;
- determine that a wireless access network node of a wireless access network different from the WLAN supports a same EEI type as the supported EEI type indicated by the second indication;
- send, to the wireless access network node, a second message relating to an emergency call, the second message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type;
- and
- send, to the WLAN, a third message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a wireless device to:
- send, to a wireless local area network (WLAN), a first message to check for extended emergency information (EEI) support by the WLAN;
- receive, from the WLAN, a first indication of EEI support by the WLAN and a second indication of a supported EEI type, wherein the supported EEI type is selected from among a plurality of different EEI types;
- determine that a wireless access network node of a wireless access network different from the WLAN supports a same EEI type as the supported EEI type indicated by the second indication;
- send, to the wireless access network node, a second message relating to an emergency call, the second message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type;
- and
- send, to the WLAN, a third message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type.
