Abstract

In one embodiment, the method for registering to a wireless network includes transmitting a registration request from a device designated as having a low access priority. The registration request includes a value indicating that the device supports multiple access priorities. The multiple access priorities include the low access priority and at least one higher access priority. The method further includes requesting access when connecting to the wireless network based on a response to the registration request.
