1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a base station and from a core network, a paging message associated with a priority connection from a first user equipment device (UE) having an elevated priority status, to a second UE having a non-elevated priority status;
caching, at the base station during congestion of non-elevated priority access channels, an identifier of the second UE based upon a priority indicator in the received paging message; and
establishing a wireless connection between the first UE and the second UE based upon the cached identifier of the second UE.
