Abstract
A system and method may include receiving information for a number of user equipment (UE) devices, wherein the information identifies a category associated with network access priority for each of the UE devices. The system and method may also include receiving, on behalf of a first one of the UE devices, a message to establish a network connection corresponding to a request for prioritized network access and determining whether a category for the first UE device allows for prioritized network access. The system and method may further include allowing prioritized network access to the first UE device, in response to determining that the category for the first UE device allows for prioritized network access and denying prioritized network access to the first UE device in response to determining that the category for the first UE device does not allow for prioritized network access.
