1. A communication system that provides backup wireless communication services, comprising:
- a plurality of communication devices that include at least one first communication device subscribed to a first class of service and at least one second communication device subscribed to a second class of service;
a database including subscription information of the at least one first communication device and the at least one second communication device;
a main system component that normally serves all of the plurality of the communication devices; and
a backup system component for the main system component that, in response to the main system component going out of service, operates to;
obtain subscription information from the database for a particular communication device needing service;
provide service to the particular communication device needing service if the subscription information indicates that the particular communication device subscribes to the first class of service; and
terminate service to the particular communication device needing service if the subscription information indicates that the particular communication device subscribes to the second class of service.

Abstract
A communication system that provides communication services to a plurality of communication devices over one or more wireless channels. The communication system includes a main system component that normally serves all of the plurality of the communication devices. However, when the main system component goes out of service, a backup system component only serves some of the communication devices. As such, backup service is provided in accordance with the service priority as subscribed by the communication devices.
