Abstract
Methods and devices are disclosed for supporting emergency service calls using dynamic service set identifier (SSID) deployment in a wireless communication network.

The access point may also send a message with information about the received emergency service call request to a wireless network manager, and determine whether determining whether to serve the emergency service call request based on a response message received from the wireless network manager. In response to determining to serve the emergency service call request, the access point may create a new service set identifier (SSID) with emergency service call capability.
