1. A method for managing priority exceptions for a shared spectrum radio services system, the shared spectrum radio services system comprising a spectrum access system (SAS) configured to manage one or more radios that transmit on a protected frequency of a shared spectrum, wherein at least one dynamic incumbent radio operates on the protected frequency, the method comprising:
transmitting from a radio one or more signals on the protected frequency of the shared spectrum while a current time is prior to a time indicated by a standard transmit expiration time parameter received from the SAS;
receiving an authorization to enable a parameter exception protocol;
monitoring a communications connection between the radio and the SAS; and
when the communications connection is determined to be interrupted:
executing the parameter exception protocol; and
overriding the standard transmit expiration time parameter received from the SAS and transmit from the radio the one or more signals on the protected frequency based on the parameter exception protocol.
