Abstract

This paper introduces an approach for providing the Spatial Location (SLO) information of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) devices connected to wire and wireless IP networks. The aim of the paper is to set up the framework for providing emergency call services. This method uses SIP as transport and the SLO as data format inserted in the SIP payload. It analyses the relationship among the network elements involved in the architecture, and its functionality for providing emergency call services using SIP. In conclusion, this proposal track down an emergency call via SIP, and additionally enables SIP to support some other location-related services such as messaging, and location-based commerce.
