Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) generate a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message that comprises a SIP header and a user message. The SIP header indicates a priority QoS and the user message indicates a message destination. The wireless UE wirelessly transfers the SIP message to a wireless network and the wireless network transfers the SIP message to a message network. In response to the priority QoS indicated in the SIP header, the message network generates and transfers another SIP message using the priority QoS. The other SIP message comprises another SIP header and the user message.

Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) generate a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message that comprises a SIP header and a user message. The SIP header indicates a priority QoS and the user message indicates a message destination. The wireless UE wirelessly transfers the SIP message to a wireless network and the wireless network transfers the SIP message to a message network. In response to the priority QoS indicated in the SIP header, the message network generates and transfers another SIP message using the priority QoS. The other SIP message comprises another SIP header and the user message.

Abstract: A wireless communication device transfer a high-priority message with a high-priority Quality-of-Service (QoS). Device circuitry receives a request for the high-priority message, and in response, signals a radio to wirelessly attach to a wireless network using a high-priority-attachment Establishment Cause. The circuitry generates a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message that includes the high-priority message and that indicates the high-priority-attachment Establishment Cause. The radio wirelessly attaches to the wireless network using the high-priority-attachment Establishment Cause. The radio wirelessly transfers the SIP message that indicates the high-priority-attachment Establishment Cause and that includes the high-priority message to the wireless network. The wireless network transfers the SIP message to a message network using the high-priority QoS responsive to the high-priority-attachment Establishment Cause used for wireless attachment.

Abstract: An Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) receives a media session invite having a Wireless Priority Service (WPS) prefix over a non-Long Term Evolution (LTE) network for a User Equipment (UE). The IMS identifies the WPS prefix and adds a Resource Priority Header (RPH) indicating that the media session invite is for a WPS call. The IMS transfers an authentication request to a WPS Application Server to authenticate the UE for the WPS call based on a UE identifier and receives an authentication response indicating that the UE is authenticated. The IMS determines that the media session invite was transferred over the non-LTE network and transfers an instruction to the UE indicating that the UE should re-originate the media session invite over the LTE network. The UE receives the instruction and transfers the media session invite having the WPS prefix to the IMS over the LTE network.

Abstract: A wireless access node to facilitate increased quality of service in consideration of medical information comprises a wireless communication transceiver and a processing system. The wireless communication transceiver is configured to receive medical data transmitted from a wireless communication device served by the wireless access node, wherein the wireless communication device senses the medical data from a user of the wireless communication device. The processing system is configured to determine a quality of service level for the wireless communication device based on the medical data, and implement the quality of service level for the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A method for operating a communication system is provided. The method includes monitoring traffic within a communication network to determine a traffic volume, and determining a routing table update rate based on the traffic volume. The method also includes receiving a routing table update, and updating a routing table using the routing table update at a time based on the routing table update rate.
