Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for handling dual priority for a machine-to-machine device in a wireless communication network. The device may include computer-readable media having instructions and one or more processors coupled with the computer-readable media and configured to execute the instructions to configure, as a default configuration, the device with a first priority level for machine-type communications, receive a notification from an application associated with the device, the notification indicating that the application generated a communication to a network controller, the communication being associated with a second priority level that is higher than the first priority level, and in response to the notification, configure, as an override configuration, the device with the second priority level for machine-type communications. If a backoff timer is running for low priority application, and a current communication is not for a low priority, the communication is allowed to proceed.

31. One or more computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a device to:
-
receive, from upper layers, a request that a user equipment (UE) access a wireless communication network for services associated with a first priority level; determine a backoff timer is running; and determine a timing of transmission of a non-access stratum (NAS) request message to a network controller based on a determination of whether the backoff timer was initiated based on another NAS request message communication having the first priority level or a second priority level that is lower than the first priority level. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)

44. An apparatus comprising:
-
logic to configure, as a default configuration, the apparatus with a first priority level for machine-type communications over a wireless communication network; logic to receive a notification from an application associated with the apparatus, the notification indicating that the application is associated with a second priority level that is higher than the first priority level; and logic to, in response to the notification, configure, as an override configuration, the apparatus with the second priority level for machine-type communications. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)

53. One or more computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a network controller to:
-
configure a machine-to-machine (M2M) device with a dual-priority configuration in which the M2M device is able to override a default, low-priority configuration or an extended access barring configuration; and receive one or more network requests from the M2M device, wherein individual network requests of the one or more network requests include priority indicators associated with respective network requests. - View Dependent Claims (54, 55, 56)

57. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
under control of one or more computing devices configured with executable instructions, enabling a dual priority non-access stratum (NAS) configuration, the enabling including a default configuration with a first priority level and an ability to override the first priority level and assign a second priority level, the second priority level being higher than the first priority level; receiving, from upper layers, a request for services associated with the second priority level; and sending a communication with the second priority level to a network controller. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59)
