A system described herein may provide a technique for identifying User Equipment ('UEs') associated with relevant users, such as “personal” UEs associated with first responders, based on the occurrence of an event, notifying the UEs of the event, and modifying radio access network (“RAN”) parameters such that the identified UEs are provided with priority access. Further, such modifications may be temporary (e.g., reverted after the event has occurred). In this manner, personal UEs associated with relevant users may be dynamically provided priority access in situations where such access may be beneficial, without needing to permanently provide the priority access to such UEs.

Systems and methods for dynamic event-based resource allocation in a radio access network

An example method can include detecting a transaction associated with an application; identifying a characteristic of the transaction; determining a priority for network traffic associated with the application, based on the identified characteristic; selecting, from a plurality of types of networks that are communicatively coupled with the user device and based on the priority for the network traffic, a network type for the network traffic; and causing the network traffic to be routed, from the user device, through a network device associated with the selected network type.

Routing network traffic associated with an application based on a transaction of the application

A system described herein may provide a technique for identifying User Equipment ('UEs') associated with relevant users, such as 'personal' UEs associated with first responders, based on the occurrence of an event, notifying the UEs of the event, and modifying radio access network (&#x201c;RAN&#x201d;) parameters such that the identified UEs are provided with priority access. Further, such modifications may be temporary (e.g., reverted after the event has occurred). In this manner, personal UEs associated with relevant users may be dynamically provided priority access in situations where such access may be beneficial, without needing to permanently provide the priority access to such UEs.
