Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to reliably providing emergency services to wireless clients. In one embodiment, a wireless client determines if an attempt to transmit an emergency message exists.

If so, the wireless client notifies one of the wireless access points that the wireless client has an expedited bandwidth request.
