Original Abstract Submitted
a communications system may include a user equipment (ue) device, a cellular network, a core network, and an emergency alert originator that broadcasts an emergency alert. the core network transmits a message to the ue that identifies a first region associated with the alert. the cellular network transmits a message to the ue that identifies a second region associated with the alert. the ue generates an expanded region as a hull around the first region and monitors its location relative to the hull. the ue displays a message body of the alert if/when the ue is within the hull and the first region is sufficiently similar to the second region. this may allow the ue to inform a user of the alert as rapidly as possible, regardless of how the cellular network and/or the core network interpret the emergency alert broadcast by the emergency alert originator.
