Wireless communication system for routing emergency calls from a VoIP network

A communication gateway system in a wireless communication system comprising:

• a communication interface configured to receive an emergency call request from a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication network initiated by a VoIP communication client operating on the VoIP communication network;
• a processing system configured to process the emergency call request to determine a wireless device associated with the VoIP communication client;
• the communication interface configured to transfer a message to the associated wireless device requesting confirmation that a user associated with an emergency call is in possession of the wireless device and receive a response from the wireless device confirming that the user is in possession of the wireless communication device;
• if the confirmation that the user is in possession of the wireless device is received, then the processing system is configured to determine a location of the wireless device, and determine a public safety answering point (PSAP) based on the location of the wireless device;
• if the confirmation is not received, then the processing system is configured to determine a probability that the user associated with the emergency call is in possession of the wireless communication device, and if the probability is below a threshold then, the processing system is configured to determine the PSAP based on a default location;
• and
• the communication interface further configured to establish the emergency call between the VoIP communication client and the PSAP via the wireless communication system and the VoIP communication network.
