Abstract
Systems and methods for filtering emergency broadcast messages. One embodiment is User Equipment (UE) that store rules for filtering emergency broadcast messages. The UE receives an emergency broadcast message over a paging channel of a mobile network, identifies a class indicator assigned to the emergency broadcast message, selects one of the rules based on the class indicator assigned to the emergency broadcast message, and determines whether the emergency broadcast message is authorized for presentation on the UE based on the rule. The UE then ignores the emergency broadcast message responsive to a determination that the emergency broadcast message is not authorized for presentation.
