In one embodiment, the method includes specifying a location and time where an event will take place; specifying a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; generating a prioritization profile for the event; providing prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions when the prioritization performance is not met. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography, the method comprising: identifying, at a Self-Organizing Network (SON) server, a location and time where an event will take place; identifying, at the Self-Organizing Network (SON) server, a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; generating a prioritization profile for the event; providing prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; pushing the prioritization profile to a radio access network (RAN) network node; receiving, at the SON server, a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID; determining, at the SON server, whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time; upon determining that prioritization is enabled, the SON server, sending a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI; and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions upon determining the prioritization performance is not met. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising specifying a duration for the event. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising specifying a periodicity for the event. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising specifying a class of UE prioritization for the event. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein monitoring prioritization during the event comprises monitoring a Quality of Service (QoS) of at least one user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein taking remedial actions comprises pushing an enhanced traffic prioritization profile to the RAN network node when the user experiences at least one of high packet loss and retransmissions on a per CWS per-RAN basis. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein taking remedial actions comprises provisioning higher priority dedicated bearer with improved Quality of Service (QoS) Class Indicator (QCI) when the user experiences lower than expected data throughput. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for core prioritized connectivity service based on geography which, when executed, causes a system node to perform steps comprising: identifying, at the system node, a location and time where an event will take place; identifying, at the system node, a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; generating, a prioritization profile for the event; providing, prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; pushing the prioritization profile from the system node to a radio access network (RAN) network node; receiving, at the system node, a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID; determining, at the SON server, whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time; upon determining that prioritization is enabled, the SON server, sending a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI; and and monitoring prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions upon determining the prioritization performance is not met. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions specifying a duration for the event. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions specifying a periodicity for the event. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions specifying a class of UE prioritization for the event. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions wherein monitoring prioritization during the event comprises monitoring a Quality of Service (QoS) of at least one user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions wherein taking remedial actions comprises pushing an enhanced traffic prioritization profile to the RAN node when the user experiences at least one of high packet loss and retransmissions on a per-RAN basis. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 further comprising instructions wherein taking remedial actions comprises provisioning higher priority dedicated bearer with improved Quality of Service (QoS) Class Indicator (QCI) when the user experiences lower than expected data throughput. ### Claim 15 A system for providing prioritized connectivity service based on geography using a Self-Organizing Network (SON), the system comprising: a SON server; and a network device; the SON server configured to receive a location and time where an event will take place and for receiving a User Equipment (UE) prioritization to be used for the event; the network device configured to generate a prioritization profile for the event; the network device configured to provide prioritization for the event based on the prioritization profile; the SON server configured to receiving a connect event of the UE, the UE's IMSI, and a RAN ID; the SON server configured to determine whether the traffic prioritization profile is enabled for the RAN ID at current time; the SON server configured to determine that prioritization is enabled and send a prioritization start message and the UE IMSI; and the network device configured to monitor prioritization during the event and taking remedial actions when the prioritization performance is not met. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein a duration for the event is received. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein a periodicity for the event is received. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein a class of UE prioritization for the event is received. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein monitoring prioritization the event comprises monitoring a Quality of Service (QoS) of at least one user. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The system of claim 15 wherein taking remedial actions comprises pushing an enhanced traffic prioritization profile to a radio access network (RAN) node when the user experiences at least one of high packet loss and retransmissions on a per-RAN basis and wherein taking remedial actions comprises provisioning higher priority dedicated bearer with improved Quality of Service (QoS) Class Indicator (QCI) when the user experiences lower than expected data throughput.
