Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to determining whether to switch between group calls based on priority within a wireless communications system. In an embodiment, an announce message is received at a given access terminal that announces a second group session when the given access terminal is participating in the first group session. The given access terminal acquires one or more priority levels associated with one or more of the first and second group sessions. The access terminal determines whether to switch from the first group session to the second group session based on the one or more priority levels. The access terminal selectively switches from the first group session to the second group session based on the determination.
