Dynamically establishing media channels between resources of an emergency services network and conforming emergency systems
First Claim
1. A communication network for dynamically establishing media channels between conforming emergency systems and resources of an emergency services network, the communication network comprising:
- a conforming emergency system (CES) connected to a packet network, the CES transmits a request message for a media channel to the packet network; and
a plurality of resources of an emergency services network each connected to the packet network, one of the resources receives the request message, and responds to the request message to dynamically establish the media channel between the CES and the one resource;
wherein the CES and the one resource exchange messages over the media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events.

Abstract
The invention includes a communication network for dynamically establishing media channels between conforming emergency systems (CES) and resources of an emergency services network. The CES transmits a request message for a media channel to the packet network. One of the resources of the emergency services network receives the request message. The resource responds to the request message to dynamically establish the media channel. The CES may then exchange messages with the resource over the media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events. In other embodiments, a resource transmits a request message for a media channel to the packet network. The CES receives the request message, and responds to the request message to dynamically establish the media channel. The CES and the resource may then exchange messages over the media channel to facilitate the CES in handling emergency events.
