Abstract
A system described herein may provide a technique for providing high priority access to one or more particular priority cells implemented by a base station of a radio access network ('RAN') associated with a wireless telecommunications network. A first group of User Equipment ('UEs') may be High Priority Access (“HPA”) UEs, and a second group of UEs may be non-HPA UEs. In response to triggering events, system broadcast messages and/or Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) release messages may be used to cause HPA UEs to connect to the priority cells, and may cause non-HPA UEs to connect to other (e.g., non-priority) cells implemented by the base station.
