Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
responsive to an indication of an emergency notification initiated a user equipment, transmit, to a location engine, a request for a current location of the user equipment,
wherein the location engine identifies the current location of the user equipment using a first location mechanism;

when a response comprising the current location of the user equipment is received from the location engine within a first threshold period of time:
transmit, to a telecommunications service network node, a point-to-point protocol message comprising the current location of the user equipment determined using the first location mechanism; and

when a response comprising the current location of the user equipment is not received from the location engine within the first threshold period of time:
determine the current location of the user equipment using a second location mechanism;
determine whether the current location of the user equipment is available using the first location mechanism or the second location mechanism within a second threshold period of time from when the emergency notification was initiated; and
transmit, to the telecommunications service network node, the message comprising the current location of the user equipment determined using the second location mechanism,
wherein the current location of the user equipment is transmitted to the telecommunications service network node via the message only when the current location is available within the second threshold of time.
