Method and apparatus for routing of emergency services for unauthorized user equipment in a home Node B system
First Claim
1. In a communication system comprising (i) a first network comprising a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network and (ii) a second network comprising a plurality of user hosted access points for establishing service regions of the second network using short range licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling user equipment operating in the service regions to the core network, a method of enabling emergency calling at a particular access point for a particular user equipment that is not authorized for services of the second network at a service region associated with the particular access point, the method comprising:
- at the particular access point, receiving a service request message from the user equipment indicating an establishment cause of emergency call;
sending a registration request message to the network controller, wherein said registration request message comprises an identity of the particular user equipment and an indicator to indicate that said unauthorized particular user equipment requests emergency calling; and
after registering said particular user equipment with the network controller, sending a message for routing by the network controller to the core network, said message comprising location information for the core network to identify a location from which the emergency call originates.

Abstract
Some embodiments are implemented in a communication system that includes a first communication system comprised of a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network, and a second communication system comprising a plurality of user hosted access points and a network controller. In some embodiments, each access point operates using short range licensed wireless frequencies to establish a service region. In some embodiments, the network controller communicatively couples the core network to the plurality of access points. The method enables an unauthorized user equipment to call from an access point it is not allowed to use for emergency purposes. The method receives at an access point a service request from an unauthorized user equipment with an establishment cause of emergency call. The method sends a registration request to the network controller. The method sends a message to the core network indicating the location of the user equipment.

In a communication system comprising (i) a first network comprising a licensed wireless radio access network and a core network and (ii) a second network comprising a plurality of user hosted access points for establishing service regions of the second network using short range licensed wireless frequencies and a network controller for communicatively coupling user equipment operating in the service regions to the core network, a computer readable storage medium of a particular access point storing a computer program for enabling emergency calling at the particular access point for a particular user equipment that is not authorized for services of the second network at a service region associated with the particular access point, the computer program executable by at least one processor, the computer program comprising:
-
a set of instructions for receiving a service request message from the user equipment indicating an establishment cause of emergency call; a set of instructions for sending a registration request message to the network controller, wherein said registration request message comprises an identity of the particular user equipment and an indicator to indicate that said unauthorized particular user equipment requests emergency calling; and a set of instructions for sending a message for routing by the network controller to the core network, said message comprising location information for the core network to identify a location from which the emergency call originates.
