Facilitating resource frequency management for emergency response

Abstract

Resource frequency management is facilitated. For instance, information is received indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area and a command is transmitted to a network device for the defined area to cause the base station device to send a communication for the emergency condition via a first wireless communication channel with a mobile device of mobile devices associated with a subscriber identity of respective subscriber identities assigned to provide a response to the emergency condition.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 accessing information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and 
 transmitting a command signal from the apparatus to network equipment enabling network coverage for the defined area, wherein the command signal is interpreted and causes base station equipment to switch communication for the emergency condition to a first wireless communication channel with a mobile device of mobile devices associated with the network equipment. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the command signal identifies a first defined frequency for the mobile device to employ for a first application for the emergency condition. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the command signal further identifies a second defined frequency for the mobile device to employ for a second application for the emergency condition. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first wireless communication channel was designated for use for emergency conditions prior to occurrence of the emergency condition. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile devices are associated with respective subscriber identities, wherein the mobile device is associated with a subscriber identity of the respective subscriber identities, and wherein the operations further comprise:
 analyzing a repository comprising data identifying the mobile devices associated with the respective subscriber identities; and   based on a result of the analyzing, determining that the mobile device is associated with the subscriber identity assigned to provide a response to the emergency condition in the defined area.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein transmitting the command signal is based on switching from a second wireless communication channel via which the base station equipment was communicating with the mobile device prior to accessing the information indicative of the emergency condition in the defined area. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a first mobile device, and wherein the information indicative of the emergency condition in the defined area is accessed by the apparatus as a result of an emergency application being initiated by the first mobile device in the defined area or by a second mobile device of the mobile devices in the defined area. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein transmitting the command signal comprises transmitting the command signal to the base station equipment to enable the mobile devices to communicate with one another via the first wireless communication channel. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise selecting the first wireless communication channel from wireless communication channels allocated for emergency response communication, and wherein the selecting is performed prior to the transmitting. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the command signal causes the base station equipment to send a communication with an instruction to provide a response to the emergency condition for a limited duration of time specified by the command signal. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the command signal causes the base station equipment to send the communication with an instruction to provide the response to the emergency condition for a specified application executed via the mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the command signal further causes the base station equipment to send the communication for the mobile device via a second wireless communication channel distinct from the first wireless communication channel. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the command signal further causes the base station equipment to send re-attachment information to the mobile device enabling the mobile device to re-attach to the base station equipment to communicate via the first wireless communication channel. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise updating a data store to comprise device identities for the mobile devices and application identities for computer executable applications being executed by the mobile devices. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein accessing the information indicative of the emergency condition comprises accessing the information via a control center device communicatively coupled to the mobile device and the apparatus. 
     
     
         16 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, by a device coupled to a processor, information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and   transmitting, by the device, a command signal to network equipment for the defined area to cause a base station to change frequencies to a first wireless communication channel to facilitate communication for the emergency condition with a mobile device of mobile devices associated with the network equipment.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising:
 authenticating, by the device, communication between the device and the base station according to an authentication criterion; and   in response to the authentication criterion being determined to be satisfied by the communication, transmitting, by the device, the command signal to the network equipment for the defined area.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the mobile device comprises a device that is part of a vehicle. 
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of an apparatus, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 receiving information indicative of an emergency condition in a defined area; and   transmitting a command signal to a network device that enables network service for mobile devices in the defined area to cause a base station to switch communication for the emergency condition to a first wireless communication channel with a mobile device of the mobile devices from a second wireless communication channel.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 19 , wherein the first wireless communication channel comprises an emergency wireless communication channel, and wherein the second wireless communication channel comprises a non-emergency wireless communication channel.
