MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647083068 A) filed by Qualcomm Incorporated on July 06, 2026, for Reliable Emergency Short Message Service Over Internet Protocol (ip) Multimedia Subsystem (ims).
Inventors include Edge, Stephen William; and Gupta, Nishant.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: Techniques are described for sending an emergency related Short Message Service message (SM) from a user equipment (UE) to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) with higher reliability and security and lower delay than with previous techniques. Following detection of a user input emergency SM, a UE establishes a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) dialogue with a PSAP, where the SIP dialogue has no active SIP media, which can be compliant with SIP protocol rules. The emergency SM is sent to the PSAP in association with the SIP dialogue, as are any subsequent SMs, and PSAP SM replies are similarly returned to the UE. Media such as voice may be added and previous restrictions on support of UEs that are roaming or in limited service state can be overcome.
