Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer-readable mediums are described for techniques for supporting telematics-enhanced emergency calls from mobile phones. In some aspects, a method for wireless communication may include establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a personal telematics-enhanced emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP), wherein the UE is capable of transmitting telematics data. The method may also include transmitting information that distinguishes the personal telematics-enhanced emergency call from other types of emergency calls.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a personal telematics-enhanced emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP), wherein the UE is capable of transmitting telematics data;
- and
- enabling information that distinguishes the personal telematics-enhanced emergency call from other types of emergency calls.
The method of claim 10, wherein the identifier for the UE is present in a database accessible to the PSAP or a serving wireless network for the UE.
The method of claim 10, wherein the identifier for the UE comprises at least one of a device model number, a mobile station international subscriber directory number (MSISDN), an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), or an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI).
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a personal telematics-enhanced emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP), wherein the UE is capable of transmitting telematics data;
- and
- means for enabling information that distinguishes the personal telematics-enhanced emergency call from other types of emergency calls.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
- establish, by a user equipment (UE), a personal telematics-enhanced emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP), wherein the UE is capable of transmitting telematics data;
- and
- enable information that distinguishes the personal telematics-enhanced emergency call from other types of emergency calls.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for wireless communication in a wireless device, the non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for:
- establishing, by a user equipment (UE), a personal telematics-enhanced emergency call to a public safety answering point (PSAP), wherein the UE is capable of transmitting telematics data;
- and
- enabling information that distinguishes the personal telematics-enhanced emergency call from other types of emergency calls.
