Abstract
A system and method permit communications of a mobile station of emergency service personnel while blocking communications of mobile stations of other users. In response to an emergency in a region, a mobile switching center may be configured to restrict communications of mobile stations in the region through an identified cell site base station controlled by the mobile switching center during the emergency while the identified cell site base station continues wireless radio frequency transmissions. This configuration may be accomplished with the use of a trigger, such as a Specific_Called_Party_Digit_String trigger. While the mobile switching center is configured for the emergency, a designated trigger condition may be detected with respect to an attempted communication for a mobile station through the identified cell site base station.
