Abstract

Systems, devices, and techniques described herein relate to prioritizing access by first user equipment (UEs) connected to a first radio access technology (RAT) type over access by second UEs connected to a second RAT type responsive to a failure of a core network node. A node of the core network, such as a session management node, may determine that another node of the core network has failed based on a negative response or no response from that other node. The node may then prioritize access based on RAT types of requesting UEs.
