A system and method permit communications of a mobile station of emergency service personnel while blocking communications of mobile stations of other users. In response to an emergency in a region, a mobile switching center may be configured to restrict communications of mobile stations in the region through an identified cell site base station controlled by the mobile switching center during the emergency while the identified cell site base station continues wireless radio frequency transmissions. This configuration may be accomplished with the use of a trigger, such as a Specific_Called_Party_Digit_String trigger. While the mobile switching center is configured for the emergency, a designated trigger condition may be detected with respect to an attempted communication for a mobile station through the identified cell site base station.

Public safety communications incident response

A priority allocation system may be adapted to regulate the priority which different users of a wireless mobile communication system are given to one or more of its various services. It may include a priority level data storage system, a priority enforcement system, an administrator interface, and a subscriber interface. The priority data storage system may be configured to store priority information for each of a plurality of subscriber groups. Each subscriber group may be assigned to one or more wireless mobile communication devices. The priority information for each subscriber group may be indicative of one or more priorities relating to use of the mobile communication system by all of the wireless mobile communication devices which are assigned to the subscriber group.
