NETWORK NODE, METHOD, AND MOBILE TERMINAL FOR PROVIDING VOICE CALLS TO A MOBILE TERMINAL IN A PACKET-SWITCHED-ONLY NETWORK

A network node, method, and mobile terminal for providing circuit-switched (CS) voice calls to a mobile terminal operating in a packet-switched (PS)-only network. A control node such as an EPC node in an SAE/LTE PS-only network is modified to mimic the messaging functionality of a Serving GPRS Service Node (SGSN). The EPC node is connected to an MSC/VLR in a CS network through a Gs interface. The EPC node registers the terminal with the MSC/VLR and provides a VLR TMSI to the terminal. When the MSC/VLR receives an incoming CS voice call for the terminal, the MSC/VLR notifies the EPC node, which sends a paging message to the terminal. To set up the CS voice call, the terminal sends a paging response directly to the MSC/VLR. 116-. (canceled)17.

EMERGENCY CALL SETUP IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

The systems, devices, and techniques described herein are directed to scheduling wireless communications and verifying connections, for example, in an emergency call context. An emergency call scheduler can be installed in an application layer of user equipment to manage call scheduling. During an emergency situation, the emergency call scheduler can attempt to establish a communication based on a priority of network technologies (e.g., LTE, 4G, 3G, 2G) or a base station being in a subscriber network. As a call is established, a connection may be verified based at least in part on satisfying one or more handshake protocols and based at least in part on transmitting or receiving voice and/or data packets. Based on a location of the user equipment, or as a network topology is updated, a centralized server can update the emergency call scheduler to change the call scheduling priority. 1.
