  • Patent number: 12671969
    Abstract: Emergency calls that use real time text (RTT) in addition to audio face a challenge: between an originating endpoint (e.g., a cellular network) sending a session initiation protocol (SIP) invite and receiving the response (e.g., 200 OK) from a downstream terminating endpoint (e.g., a peering network), the media attribute fields associated with the text and audio data may become swapped. Three options are disclosed for dealing with this issue. (1) The originating endpoint may swap the protocol paths for the RTT and audio data so that the public safety answering point (PSAP) and the user equipment (UE) are able to communicate. (2) The originating endpoint may send a correction request to the terminating endpoint. (3) If default protocol paths are specified for RTT and audio, the originating endpoint uses the default protocol paths independently of whether the SIP invite or response specified the correct data type and protocol path association.
