METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING PUBLIC SAFETY PRIORITY ON A BROADBAND NETWORK

摘要

A network component (116) in a broadband network receives dynamic status information associated with a user accessing the broadband network with a first user equipment (204a). The network component (116) also retrieves stored priority attributes associated with the user (202) and identifies whether another user equipment (204x) is associated with the user (202). The network component (116) determines access network policy for all user equipment (204a, 204x) associated with the user (202) by using the dynamic status information (208) and the stored priority attributes, associates the access network policy (210) with each user equipment (204a, 204x) associated with the user(202); and forwards the access network policy (210) to a policy component (112). The access network policy is used in determining priority and quality of service policy for each user equipment (204a, 204x) associated with the user (202).
