Abstract
In various examples, upon successful transmission of a device-based hybrid (DBH) location from a UE to a cellular network upon that UE placing an Enhanced 911 (E911) call, a horizontal uncertainty associated with the DBH location is taken into account. If that uncertainty reaches a threshold value, alternative location information in the form of one or more of a Cell Identity (CID) or an Enhanced Cell Identity (E-CID) associated with the UE can be used in generating a location report that is then sent to a Public Safety Answering Point. As a result, first responders may be able to more quickly locate distressed E911 callers.
