Method for managing overload in a mobile communication network

A mobile communication network, comprising:

• a radio access network;
• a core network connected to the radio access network;
• and
• a plurality of user devices in form of non-MTC user equipment and/or MTC user equipment connected to one or more base stations of the radio access network,
• wherein the mobile communication network is operable to perform a method including:
• a) detecting a presence of a network overload in the mobile communication network;
• b) generating an overload report according to the detected network overload having one or more resource identifiers of the resources of the mobile communication network on which the network overload was detected;
• c) identifying one or more user devices and/or applications affected by the network overload based on the overload report;
• and
• d) informing one or more serving entities serving resolved user devices for temporarily suppressing communication requests.

A method for managing a mobile communication network including a radio access network and a core network, connected to the radio access network, wherein a plurality of user devices in form of non-MTC user devices and/or MTC user devices is connected to one or more base stations of the radio access network, the method comprising:

• a) requesting a communication with a user device towards a managing node in the core network accompanied by application information;
• b) identifying the application by an accompanied application information and corresponding service information;
• and
• c) installing one or more rules of a policy based on the service information of the resolved application.
