LOCATION DETERMINATION FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Technologies are generally described for providing location information associated with users for emergency service purposes. User location through a wireless communication device may be determined upon triggering by a user initiated emergency communication (in various modalities) or by an external trigger signal employing one or more known signal sources and provided to an emergency service provider. The user location may also be determined/updated periodically and refined upon triggering of the emergency communication. Communication between the user's wireless device and the emergency service provider may be prioritized, in some examples, to ensure reliable communication.
