Systems and methods to automatically create dedicated bearers during failure event

A method in user equipment, the method comprising:

• electronically transmitting a request to initiate a call;
• electronically conducting a session by using a bearer, wherein the bearer is created based on at least:
• a comparison of the request to initiate the call with information indicated by a network policy associated with the user equipment;
• a determination of whether to create a dedicated bearer based on at least the comparison of the request to the information indicated by the network policy and a detected failure event for at least one network infrastructure component;
• and
• a local network policy indicating one or more quality of service attributes associated with the user device, wherein the bearer is created as a dedicated bearer based on a determination that a dedicated bearer should be created.

One or more storage devices collectively storing a bearer creation data structure for access and processing by a program executed by at least one computer processor that, when accessed and processed by at least one computer processor, functionally enables the computer processor to:

• receive a request to initiate a session, the request being transmitted by user equipment;
• initiate the session based on a comparison of the request to information indicated by a network policy;
• and
• determine whether to create a dedicated bearer for the session, the bearer creation data structure comprising:
• information indicating a network policy associated with the user equipment, the network policy including bearer creation information for the network policy;
• information indicating a local network policy used to create a dedicated bearer;
• and
• information indicating the request to initiate the session,
• wherein the bearer creation information is compared to the request to initiate the session,
• wherein the detection of the failure event, the comparison of the bearer creation information, and the request to initiate the session are used to determine whether to create a dedicated bearer for a call, and
• wherein a network infrastructure component accesses the information indicating the local network policy to create the dedicated bearer based on the determination that the dedicated bearer should be created.
