Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for prioritizing a handover from an LTE network to a legacy network are provided. The method includes receiving, at a management component, a message from a mobile device. The message communicates a capability type associated with the mobile device. Based, in part, on this capability type, the management component assigns a priority to the mobile device. According to the assigned priority, the management component prioritizes the handover of the mobile device from the LTE network to the legacy network. This method reduces the latency for network handovers of mobile devices that are assigned a high priority.
