Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for improved, rapid wireless emergency communication. Embodiments may provide improved means for preempting other non-emergency communication, delivering an emergency message with sufficient information to enable first-responders to take appropriate action even if no further communication is possible, and for establishing a privileged voice connection following the emergency message. Embodiments may include a hailing-type emergency message configured to alert a base station when the addresses of base station is unknown to the emergency node. With improved speed and reliability of emergency communication, first-responders may begin an appropriate life-saving response without delay and with knowledge of the type and location of the emergency.
