Abstract
In some implementations, a first network device may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for a network resource. The first network device may determine, based on the request for the network resource, a prioritization associated with the UE, wherein the prioritization relates to a quality of service (QoS) attribute of the UE or a message priority of a message associated with the request for the network resource. The first network device may determine that a resource availability of resources at the first network device is less than an availability threshold. The first network device may transmit a preemption message to at least one of the UE or a second network device, wherein the preemption message indicates an interruption to one or more network resources associated with the UE or one or more other UEs associated with the second network device.
