Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques to relay public warning system (PWS) messages from a host device to user devices that cannot receive broadcast messages from a cellular network. A PWS message broadcast by a cellular network is received by the host device and relayed to user devices within a personal area network (PAN). Fields from the incoming PWS message are compared to previously received PWS messages to avoid duplication of messages. Relay of the PWS message by the router enables reception of the PWS message by user devices in the PAN that are not connected to the cellular network. User configurable settings enable users to select or disable the feature of reception of PWS via the PAN.
