A method and an apparatus are provided for accessing an access network to call at least one target access terminal on a wireless network. The method includes associating an indication of priority with a call for a caller at a source access terminal that initiates the call. The method further includes sending the indication of priority to a first portion of the access network for providing an indication of priority grant at the at least one target access terminal for the call. For example, a call flow to a target access terminal may be controlled in an Internet Protocol (IP)-based network of first and second portions of an access network by using a message including a call priority associated with an incoming call at the first portion of the access network coupled to a call initiating access terminal. The second portion of the access network may grant substantially the same call priority of the incoming call. To access the access network for a call initiating user, an access terminal may determine whether a new priority granted to the access terminal is different than an original priority. If so, the access terminal reconfigures based on the new priority granted to perform at least one of a hashing, access, and connection request procedures based on the granted new priority. |
