1. A method for priority handling of a dispatch call in a dispatch network, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a dispatch call request message from a mobile communications unit at a dispatch cell site;
determining whether a dispatch application processor (DAP) is configured for operation in a call request reject mode at the direction of the dispatch network wherein all dispatch call requests for incoming and outgoing calls to the dispatch cell site are rejected by the cell site;
determining a priority level of the mobile communications unit by the cell site if the DAP is configured in the call request reject mode;
forwarding the dispatch call request message by the cell site to the DAP if the priority level meets a defined threshold when the DAP is configured for operation in the call request reject mode; and
processing the forwarded dispatch call request message by the DAP.

Abstract
A method and system for priority handling of a dispatch call in a dispatch network is disclosed. A dispatch call request message from a mobile communications unit is received at a dispatch cell site. The cell site determines whether a DAP is configured for operation in a call request reject mode. The cell site determines a priority level of the mobile communications unit if the DAP is configured in the call request reject mode. When the priority level meets a defined threshold, the cell site forwards the dispatch call request message to the DAP and the DAP processes the dispatch call request message.

12. A system for priority handling of a dispatch call in a dispatch network, comprising:
-
a dispatch cell site, wherein the cell site receives a dispatch call request message from a mobile communications unit; and a dispatch application processor (DAP) configured for operation in a call request reject mode at the direction of the dispatch network wherein all dispatch call requests for incoming and outgoing calls to the dispatch cell site are rejected; wherein the dispatch call request message is forwarded by the cell site to the DAP if a priority level of the mobile communications unit meets a defined threshold when the DAP is configured for operation in the call request reject mode and wherein the DAP processes the forwarded dispatch call request message. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
