Enhanced Emergency Beacon Sending Procedure

Abstract:

This disclosure relates to techniques and devices for implementing an emergency power save mode (EPSM) in a user equipment device (UE). A UE may enter the EPSM in response to user input. While operating in the EPSM, the UE may power down a display of the UE to preserve battery life and may broadcast an emergency beacon in response to user input to a hardware button of the UE, such as a volume button. The UE may supply sound or haptic feedback in response to broadcasting the emergency beacon.
