Filed:

Jun 22, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/354379

Inventors:

- Basking Ridge NJ, US
Shashi Kotvali - Frisco TX, US
Bibi M. Hakimzadeh - Fort Worth TX, US
James S. Abraham - Carrollton TX, US
Temitola I. Okunoren - Trophy Club TX, US

Assignee:

Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 4/12

Abstract:

A system described herein may provide for the prioritization of Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) messages, transmitted by a User Equipment (“UE”), based on a priority class indicator (“PCI”) included in a registration message (e.g., a SIP REGISTER message) from the UE. The PCI may be included in a contact header, a SIP contact Uniform Resource Identifier (“URI”), and/or some other portion of the registration message. A Universal Integrated Circuit Card (“UICC”) may store information indicating the priority class (e.g., in an Access Control Class (“ACC”) Elementary File (“EF”)). One or more network components, such as a Call Session Control Function (“CSCF”) may prioritize SIP messages from the UE based on the priority class indicator included in the registration message by the UE.

International Classification:

Abstract:

Systems and methods implement prioritized IP Multimedia System (IMS) registration procedures for Emergency and Priority Service users. A network device in an IMS network, receives, from a user equipment device, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Register message that includes a priority indication. The network device detects the priority indication in the SIP Register message and provides, based on the priority indication, priority registration for the user equipment device when the network device is in an overloaded condition.
