Abstract:
After an emergency call is completed (either prematurely terminated
by the emergency caller or normally by the call taker) it is possible
that the call taker feels the need for further communication. For
example, the call may have been dropped by accident without the call
taker having sufficient information about the current situation of a
wounded person. A call taker may trigger a callback towards the
emergency caller using the contact information provided with the
initial emergency call. This callback could, under certain
circumstances, be treated like any other call and as a consequence it
may get blocked by authorization policies or may get forwarded to an
answering machine.
The IETF emergency services architecture specification already offers
a solution approach for allowing PSAP callbacks to bypass
authorization policies to reach the caller without unnecessary
delays. Unfortunately, the specified mechanism only supports limited
scenarios. This document discusses shortcomings of the current
mechanisms and illustrates additional scenarios where better-than-
normal call treatment behavior would be desirable.
Note that this version of the document does not yet specify a
solution due to the lack of the working group participants agreeing
on the requirements.
