            Abstract : 
Our primary focus is on emergency calling and notification. We describe the components of the existing emergency calling and notification systems and our proposed IP-based architectures, each of which uses the session initiation protocol (SIP) as the signaling framework. The architecture could increase speed, scalability, and functionality in communication services
