Wireless emergency services protocols translator between ANSI-41 and VoIP emergency services protocols

摘要

A protocol converter or translator between ANSI-41 ORREQs and VoIP V2 messaging. The protocol converter may alternatively (or also) provide conversion between GMS MAP and VoIP V2 messaging. Interaction of VSPs with a Mobile Positioning Center (MPC) or a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC) is permitted, as is interaction of wireless carriers with a Voice Positioning Center (VPC). In this way existing GMLCs or MPCs may be used to service VoIP 9-1-1 calls. Moreover, operators of Voice Positioning Centers (VPCs) who implement wireless offerings can re-use their existing VPCs to service wireless 9-1-1 calls.

主权项

1. Apparatus to translate emergency services protocol call setup information from GSM MAP SLR to Voice Over Interent Protocol (VoIP), comprising:
a receiver to receive, from a mobile switching (MSC), a GSM MAP SLR containing at least one of a call back number (CBN) and emergency service routing digits (ESRD); a converter to convert said at least one of a CBN and an ESRD to a VoIP request; a transmitter to send, to a VoIP positioning center (VPC), said VoIP request; a VoIP receiver to receive, from said VoIP positioning center (VPC), said VoIP request including at least one of an emergency service query key (ESQK) and an emergency service routing number (ESRN) inserted therein; and converting, with said at least one of an ESQK and an ESRN, said received VoIP request to an SLR with an na-ESRK; whereby said SLR permits setup of an emergency services call over at least one of an ISDN User Part (ISUP) and Multi-Frequency (MF) signaling.
