Abstract
A network controller node is configured to transmit an emergency message to a mobile station within a cell of an access point connected to the network controller node within a telecommunications network. The network controller node receives information of the mobile station and determines a location of the mobile station based on the received information. In addition, the network controller node receives an emergency notification comprising an indicator indicating an affected area and determines that the mobile station is within the indicated affected area based on the determined location. The network controller node then transmits the emergency message via the access point to the mobile station in the cell.
