Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein generate an E911 location report based on an altitude or an altitude uncertainty associated with an estimated location received from a UE device. The altitude and altitude uncertainty may be compared to determined thresholds to determine which portions of the estimated location to include in an E911 location report sent to a PSAP. A location report generated to include the location information that is based on evaluating the altitude and altitude uncertainty can be sent to a PSAP, thus providing the most relevant and accurate information so that first responders can more effectively locate a distressed caller.
