Framework for Emergency Calling in Internet Multimedia

Abstract

Summoning emergency help by the public is a core feature of telephone networks. This document describes a framework of how various IETF protocols and mechanisms are combined to place emergency calls. This includes how these calls are routed to the correct Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) based on the physical location of the caller, while providing the call taker the necessary information to dispatch a first responder to that location. This document explains how location mapping, call identification and end system behavior are combined to allow multimedia emergency calls. It describes at a high level how the pieces (recognizing a call as an emergency call, marking it as such, determining the location of the caller, routing the call based on location) go together, and references the Internet standards that define the details of these mechanisms.

A Location-to-Service Translation Protocol

Abstract

This document describes an XML-based protocol for mapping service identifiers and geodetic or civic location information to service contact URIs. In particular, it can be used to determine the location-appropriate PSAP for emergency services.

Architecture for the Location-to-Service Translation Protocol

Abstract

This document describes an architecture for a global, scalable, resilient and administratively distributed system for mapping geographic location information to URLs, using the Location-to- Service (LoST) protocol. The architecture generalizes well-known approaches found in hierarchical lookup systems such as DNS.
