Method of controlling traffic in a cellular network and system thereof

A traffic control system capable of controlling traffic in a cellular network comprising a plurality of controlled access points (APs) configured to serve passengers, the system comprising a processor operatively coupled to a memory and an interface circuit operatively coupled to the processor and the memory, wherein

• the processor is configured to:
• prior to a scheduled event defined in accordance with a train schedule and associated with an expected substantive increase of passengers to be served by an operation in accordance with a cellular standard AP from the plurality of APs, to obtain pre-calculated expected classification results indicative of an expected, during the scheduled event, load of the AP with respect to a downlink and/or uplink load thresholds;
• at a scheduled time corresponding to the scheduled event, enable providing one or more pre-configured provisioning actions in accordance with the pre-calculated expected classification results, wherein the provisioning actions are actions enabling at least one of:
• changing cell reselection parameters, changing cell footprint parameters and changing cell selection parameters, and wherein the one or more pre-configured provisioning actions are pre-scheduled in accordance with the pre-calculated expected classification results and respective scripts are stored in the memory;
• and
• interface circuit is configured to continuously collect data informative of the expected load, and the processor is further configured to continuously refine the pre-calculated expected classification results in accordance with the collected data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of controlling traffic in a cellular network comprising a plurality of controlled access points (APs) configured to serve passengers, the method comprising:

• prior to a scheduled event defined in accordance with a train schedule and associated with an expected substantive increase of passengers to be served by an operation in accordance with a cellular standard AP from the plurality of APs, obtaining, by a computerized system, pre-calculated expected classification results indicative of an expected, during the scheduled event, load of the AP with respect to a downlink and/or uplink load thresholds;
• at a scheduled time corresponding to the scheduled event, enabling, by the computerized system, providing one or more pre-configured provisioning actions pre-scheduled in accordance with the pre-calculated expected classification results, wherein the provisioning actions are actions enabling at least one of:
• changing cell reselection parameters, changing cell footprint parameters and changing cell selection parameters;
• and
• continuously collecting, by the computer system, data informative of the expected load to continuously refine the pre-calculated expected classification results.
