70 was from emergency call centre 40 if so determined emergency continuity controller examines the emergency options 230 to determine if the emergency calls 210 should appear continuous if so determined emergency continuity controller 230 handles call set up on behalf of subscriber 80 for example by answering the call automatically if subscriber 80 does not answer within certain time and or by enabling speakerphone capability if mobile station 10 is so equipped emergency continuity controller 230 may additionally determine if the emergency callback mode 35 is still active and if so resets the emergency callback timer 220 once the incoming emergency call starts conversely if emergency signal 60 was not detected emergency continuity controller can rely on other traditional techniques such as caller id and call waiting to assist subscriber 80 or block the incoming call to ensure that emergency call centre 40 is able to reach subscriber 80 for at least the duration of emergency callback timer 220 given the ability to make one or more emergency calls 210 substantially appear as one continuous emergency call it is envisaged to be within the scope of the present application to have a mobile station deliberately terminate either of the mobile originated or mobile terminated emergency calls in one cdma embodiment since some cdma frequencies can interfere with gps frequencies it is envisaged that the mobile station deliberately terminates an emergency call so as to turn its cdma transmitter off to make accurate gps measurements.
