Optimizing identification of public safety answering platform next generation 911 media support

摘要

A method, system, and medium are provided for generating a profile for public safety answering platforms. The profile identifies media formats or media format combinations that are supported by the PSAPs at various cell sector locations maintained by a network provider. A network server selects a cell sector and generates test emergency services calls. The test emergency services calls are transmitted to a PSAP or multiple PSAPs. The PSAP generates a response that indicates whether the PSAP supports a media format identified in the test emergency services call. The PSAP may rely on capabilities of a secondary PSAP or a proxy PSAP to generate the response. The PSAP transmits the response to the network server for storage in the profile.

主权项

1. A public safety answering platform (PSAP) configured to facilitate communication of proxy responses, the PSAP executing the following:
receiving, by at least one PSAP, a test emergency services call having one or more media formats identified in a PSAP profile as unsupported media formats, newly added media formats, or media formats that were not included in prior test emergency services calls; and generating a response from the at least one PSAP that indicates whether the PSAP supports media formats identified in the test emergency services call; generating, by the at least one PSAP, when the at least one PSAP does not support the newly added media formats, or the media formats that were not included in the prior test emergency services calls an indication of whether a proxy PSAP supports media formats identified in the test emergency services call, for inclusion in the response; and sending, by the at least one PSAP, the response to a network server of a wireless network for updating the PSAP profiles of the at least one PSAP and the proxy PSAP.
