Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for a Rich Communication Services (RCS) Proxy that can be enabled via a novel network element, which provides functionality for establishing and enabling emergency RCS communications. The disclosed RCS framework can facilitate simultaneous voice and chat features for an emergency services caller. With Session Initiation Protocol (SIP and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) interfaces, the disclosed RCS framework can function to automatically establish an emergency chat session for RCS-capable devices. For devices that are not configured with RCS capabilities, the disclosed framework can function to provide a uniform resource locator (URL) via a short message/messaging service (SMS) message, such that via interaction with the URL, an internet session with the PSAP can be established. Accordingly, the disclosed RCS framework provides functionality for aligning voice and chat interactions between conversing entities (e.g., a user caller and a dispatcher at the PSAP handling the incoming call).
