1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a processor configured to cause the UE to;
transmit an emergency calls required indicator (ECRI) to a network component responsive to the UE receiving an instruction to place an emergency call; and
receive an emergency calls supported indicator (ECSI) prior to placing the emergency call, wherein a value of the ECSI indicates a type of emergency services supported by a femtocell,wherein the processor is further configured to cause the UE to transmit the ECRI before receiving the ECSI.
