Abstract

A method of call handling when multiple namespaces are present for a call of a priority or emergency call type initiated by a subscriber of a wireless network includes: obtaining, by an originating Proxy Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF), a predetermined precedence order for the multiple namespaces; retrieving, by the originating P-CSCF, each namespace and associated priority from the subscriber's Registration Context; inserting, by the originating P-CSCF, a SIP Resource-Priority header for each namespace and associated priority; and inserting, by the originating P-CSCF, an additional SIP Resource-Priority header with an additional specified namespace (Multiple Namespace Precedence Order (MNPO)) and priority value identifying the predetermined precedence order for the multiple namespaces. The originating P-CSCF uses the namespace with the highest precedence order to select the appropriate values to fill in Reservation-Priority Attribute-Value Pair (AVP) and Multimedia-priority services (MPS) Identifier AVP in Rx interface signaling to a Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF).
