Method and apparatus for congestion control in location updating

Abstract

A method, an apparatus and a system for congestion control in location updating are provided. The method includes: setting location updating congestion control information according to network circumstances (s101); and sending the location updating congestion control information to a terminal so as to implement, by the terminal, the congestion control in location updating according to the location updating congestion control information (s102). By the method, it can be effectively controlled whether the terminal initiates the location updating immediately or initiates the location updating with delay in intercell handover, so as to effectively smooth the system bandwidth required in the location updating, reduce the system call loss, and increase the terminal location updating efficiency and wireless resource utilization ratio.
