Title: A method and apparatus for handling emergency calls
Inventor: OLSSON MAGNUS
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2005-12-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining location information for subscribers connected to an IP access network (300) , in order to enable supply of such location information in connection with emergency calls directed to a multimedia service network (302) . A request is received (3:1) at the multimedia service network from a subscriber (A) containing an IP address currently assigned to the subscriber. In response thereto, the multimedia service network sends a location query (3:2) including said IP address to the IP access network, which then can retrieve (3:3, 3:4) location information for the subscriber based on the IP address, by determining at which point of access in the IP access network the IP address is currently used. The IP  access network then submits (3:5) the obtained location information to the multimedia service network in response to the location query.

Filed: 2007-10-23
Abstract: A system and method of polling for a network identifier value is provided. Within a wireless device, a transport layer or application layer polls a radio layer for a network identifier value on a first basis.
