Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for transferring Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) messages over wireless communication networks are provided herein. In one example, a method of operating a management node in a wireless communication network is provided that includes receiving a CMAS message transferred by an emergency authority system for transfer over the wireless communication network, the CMAS message accompanied by a payload list of wireless access nodes that are affected by the CMAS message. The method includes processing the CMAS message and the payload list to determine if wireless access nodes associated with a tracking area handled by the management node are indicated by the payload list. The method includes determining a trimmed payload list that includes at least one of the wireless access nodes, and transferring the CMAS message with the trimmed payload list for delivery to the at least one of the wireless access nodes.
