Abstract
The rate at which position information transmitted may be adjusted based upon the battery strength and whether the mobile station is operating in the emergency mode. The mobile station determines whether the battery is low, and transmits this information to the network. The mobile station may also transmit whether it is currently operating in an emergency mode. Based on this information, the network may adjust the rate at which the position information is reported from the mobile station.
