Abstract
A connection between mobile terminating (MT) user equipment (UE) and a base station can be established by receiving a paging message at the MT UE from the base station that includes a page reason indicator indicating that the MT UE is being paged for a voice call, and, at least partially in response to receipt of the paging message, sending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Request message from the MT UE to the base station that includes an establishment cause indicating that the MT UE is requesting a connection with the base station for the voice call. The establishment cause indicating that the MT UE is requesting a connection for a voice call can allow the base station to prioritize the MT UE's RRC Connection Request message over RRC Connection Request messages from other UEs in congested conditions.
