Abstract: In some examples, a device detects a calling identifier received as part of initiating a call matches an emergency identifier, the emergency identifier associated with information from which to derive a Uniform Resource Name (URN). The device detects that the device is attached to or registered a first network different from a second network, where the second network configured the emergency identifier. In response to detecting that the device is attached to or registered the first network different from the second network, the device includes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE message to be transmitted.

Abstract: An embodiment provides a user equipment that includes a processor configured to receive a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) NOTIFY message transmitted by a network component as a result of a registration event. The SIP NOTIFY message contains at least a portion of information included in a first SIP message sent between a first user equipment and the network component. Another embodiment provides method and apparatus for a network node to determine whether filter criteria include one or more indicators that specify the need for information, and including in a second SIP message the information specified by the one or more indicators.

Abstract: In some examples, a wireless device receives, from a wireless access network node, an indication of a supported extended emergency information (EEI) type supported by a wireless local area network (WLAN). The supported EEI type is selected from among a plurality of different EEI types. The wireless device sends a message relating to an emergency call, the message including EEI data according to the supported EEI type.

Abstract: A method implemented by a network node is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining registration state information associated with a user equipment (UE) from a first core network node, the registration state information indicating at least one of fourth-generation (4G) UE single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) capability or fifth-generation (5G) UE SRVCC capability for the UE, wherein the UE is registered with a first IMS network that includes the network node using a session initiation protocol (SIP) via an access network supported by a second core network; and providing, to a second IMS network node, an indication of a single UE SRVCC capability for the UE.

Abstract: In some examples, a user equipment (UE) is capable of dual registration with a first core network and a second core network. The UE receives a first indication during a first registration of the UE via a first access network with the first core network, determines based on the first indication that emergency services are not supported by the first core network, attempts a second registration via a second access network with the second core network, detects an emergency indication, and initiates a call in response to the emergency indication via a second access network different from the first access network.
