Systems and methods for providing priority for user equipment

A system, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• receive a first private certificate associated with a first user equipment (UE) and a second private certificate associated with a second UE;
• provision the system with the first private certificate and the second private certificate;
• receive, from the first UE, an encrypted first Internet key exchange (IKE) security association (SA) initialization (INIT) request with a priority indicator;
• decrypt the encrypted first IKE SA INIT request with the first private certificate;
• receive, from the second UE, an encrypted second IKE SA INIT request without the priority indicator;
• decrypt the encrypted second IKE SA INIT request with the second private certificate;
• utilize a machine learning model to predict congestion based on historical usage patterns;
• and
• pre-emptively prioritize traffic from the first UE over traffic from the second UE based on the predicted congestion and based on the priority indicator being in the first IKE SA INIT request and not in the second IKE SA INIT request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• receive a first private certificate associated with a first user equipment (UE) and a second private certificate associated with a second UE;
• provision the device with the first private certificate and the second private certificate;
• receive, from the first UE, an encrypted first Internet key exchange (IKE) security association (SA) initialization (INIT) request with a priority indicator;
• decrypt the encrypted first IKE SA INIT request with the first private certificate;
• receive, from the second UE, an encrypted second IKE SA INIT request without the priority indicator;
• decrypt the encrypted second IKE SA INIT request with the second private certificate;
• utilize a machine learning model to predict congestion based on historical usage patterns;
• and
• pre-emptively prioritize traffic from the first UE over traffic from the second UE based on the predicted congestion and based on the priority indicator being in the first IKE SA INIT request and not in the second IKE SA INIT request.
