Abstract

A method comprising transmitting, by a user equipment (UE) to a network node, a registration message comprising at least one of a first indicator configured to indicate emergency call information display capability, a second indicator configured to indicate language information, or a third indicator configured to indicate a status of previously received emergency information, and receiving, by the user equipment from the network node, a registration accept message.

Claims (69)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a user equipment (UE) to a network node, a registration message comprising:

a first indicator configured to indicate language information and

a second indicator configured to indicate a status of previously received emergency information, the second indicator including a result of a hashing function of the previously received emergency information; and

receiving, by the user equipment from the network node, a registration accept message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the registration message further comprises a third indicator configured to indicate emergency call information display capability.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the emergency call information display capability comprises one or more of:

the UE is configured to display an emergency call service type;

the UE comprises a display;

a mobile equipment (ME) domain of the UE is configured to communicate descriptions of emergency identifiers;

the UE is configured to store the descriptions of emergency identifiers; or

a quantity of the descriptions of emergency identifiers the UE is configured to store.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the language information comprises one or more of:

languages or encodings supported by the UE;

languages or encodings preferred by the UE; or

languages or encodings supported by an end user of the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the status of previously received emergency information comprises one or more of:

the UE has previously stored previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of the previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of previously received emergency identifiers; or

an indication of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the network node, a list of descriptions of emergency identifiers when the indicator indicates of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers; and

storing the list of descriptions of emergency identifiers.

7. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

transmit, to a network node, a registration message comprising a first indicator configured to indicate language information and a second indicator configured to indicate a status of previously received emergency information, the second indicator including a result of a hashing function of the previously received emergency information; and

receive, from the network node, a registration accept message.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the registration message further comprises a third indicator configured to indicate emergency call information display capability.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein emergency call information display capability comprises one or more of:

the UE is configured to display an emergency call service type;

the UE comprises a display;

a mobile equipment (ME) domain of the UE is configured to communicate descriptions of emergency identifiers;

the UE is configured to store the descriptions of emergency identifiers; or

a quantity of the descriptions of emergency identifiers the UE is configured to store.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the language information comprises one or more of:

languages or encodings supported by the UE;

languages or encodings preferred by the UE; or

languages or encodings supported by an end user of the UE.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the status of previously received emergency information comprises one or more of:

the UE has previously stored previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of the previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of previously received emergency identifiers; or an indication of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the network node, a list of descriptions of emergency identifiers when a third indicator indicates of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers; and

store the list of descriptions of emergency identifiers.

13. A computer program product comprising instructions embodied on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause a user equipment (UE) to:

transmit, to a network node, a registration message comprising a first indicator configured to indicate language information and a second indicator configured to indicate a status of previously received emergency information, the second indicator including a result of a hashing function of the previously received emergency information; and

receive, from the network node, a registration accept message.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the registration message further comprises a third indicator configured to indicate emergency call information display capability.

15. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein emergency call information display capability comprises one or more of:

the UE is configured to display an emergency call service type;

the UE comprises a display;

a mobile equipment (ME) domain of the UE is configured to communicate descriptions of emergency identifiers;

the UE is configured to store the descriptions of emergency identifiers; or

a quantity of the descriptions of emergency identifiers the UE is configured to store.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the language information comprises one or more of:

languages or encodings supported by the UE;

languages or encodings preferred by the UE; or

languages or encodings supported by an end user of the UE.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the status of previously received emergency information comprises one or more of:

the UE has previously stored previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of the previously received descriptions of emergency identifiers;

an indication of previously received emergency identifiers; or

an indication of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers.

18. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the network node, a list of descriptions of emergency identifiers when a third indicator indicates of no previously stored descriptions of emergency identifiers; and

store the list of descriptions of emergency identifiers.
