Abstract

An ePDG is configured to receive an attachment request transmitted from a priority wireless communication device over an internet communication network and responsively transfer a create session request to a P-GW. The P-GW is configured to receive the create session request and responsively transfer a credit control request to a PCRF. The PCRF is configured to receive the credit control request and responsively determine that the priority wireless communication device has a priority modification requirement, generate modified priority data for the priority wireless communication device based on the priority modification requirement, and transfer a credit control answer with the modified priority data to the P-GW. The P-GW is configured to receive the credit control answer with the modified priority data and responsively create a default bearer between the ePDG and the P-GW for the priority wireless communication device with priority service based on the modified priority data.
