METHOD OF OPERATING A BASE STATION OF A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. Method of operating a base station of a cellular communications network, wherein said base station is configured to receive signaling information from at least one terminal served by said base station and/or from a further network element of said cellular communications network, wherein said base station determines whether received signaling information comprises an emergency indication which indicates an existing or impending emergency situation, and wherein said base station notifies_ at least one further terminal served by said base station and/or a further network element of said emergency situation, wherein said notifying said at least one further terminal served by said base station is performed independently of a core network, and/or further components of the communications network.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method of operating a base station (110) of a cellular communications network (100), wherein said base station (110) is configured to receive signaling information (si1, si2) from at least one terminal (10a) served by said base station (110) and/or from a further network element (120) of said cellular communications network (100), wherein said base station (110) determines (200) whether received signaling information (si1, si2) comprises an emergency indication which indicates an existing or impending emergency situation, and wherein said base station (110) notifies (210) at least one further terminal (10b, 10c) served by said base station (110) and/or a further network element (130) of said emergency situation.
