Methods and systems for preventing message overloading in wireless networks

A system preventing message overloading in a wireless network, the system comprising:

• an access node comprising a processor configured to:
• establish a radio connection with a wireless device,
• receive, from the wireless device, an identification of the wireless device, and
• forward the identification of the wireless device to a controller node, the controller node configured to:
• compare the identification of the wireless device to a database,
• determine the wireless device is not authenticated based on the comparing, and
• transmit to the access node a message indicating that the wireless device is denied access to network services associated with the wireless network based on the determining;
• the processor further configured to:
• terminate the radio connection with the wireless device in response to receiving the message, and
• limit an establishment of future radio connections with the wireless device for a predetermined period of time in response to receiving the message.

A processing node for preventing message overloading in a wireless network, the processing node being configured to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a wireless device via a wireless connection established with an access node, a network connection message from the wireless device, wherein the network connection message requests connection to network services of the wireless network;
• determining that the wireless device is denied access to the network services of the wireless network based on a comparison of an identification of the wireless device and a database;
• and
• transmitting, to the access node, a message indicating that the wireless device is to be released from the wireless connection, wherein, in response to the message, the access node limits an establishment of future wireless connections with the wireless device for a predetermined period of time.
