METHOD IN A UE, A NETWORK NODE AND A CLIENT NODE IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method in a network nodes for enabling a client node to set up a communication to a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- receiving a text message comprising UE location information and a client indicator;
identifying the client node based on the UE location information and on the client indicator; and
forwarding the text message to the client node enabling the client node up the communication to the UE.

Abstract
A method and nodes for enabling a client node such as a Public Safety Answering Point (PAP) or Location Services (LCS) client to set up a communication to a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network. The method enables the client node to provide solutions that enable location aware non-voice based emergency services by means of new signalling and a new architecture. A text message may be sent from the UE to the client node via a network node, wherein the text message includes UE location information and a client indicator. The UE location information and the client indicator are then utilized to determine a client node which is most appropriate for communication with the UE.
