  • Completing emergency calls over a network with a malfunctioning backhaul communications link
    Patent number: 7929942
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for enabling a wireless communication over a network in response to an indication of an emergency. The method comprises causing a base station to provide a wireless backhaul link in an uplink frequency band for further sending a call over the network in response to the call associated with the emergency. Reconfiguration enables turning a base station or base station router into a high power terminal. In this way, emergency calls may be completed over a network having at least one malfunctioning backhaul communications link in a network backbone.
