Abstract
Methods and apparatuses pertaining to congestion control handling between a communication apparatus and a network apparatus. The communication apparatus may transmit a request message to the network apparatus. The network apparatus may transmit a reject message with a back-off timer value and a back-off priority indication to the communication apparatus. The communication apparatus may determine whether to send a further request message to the network apparatus according to the back-off priority indication.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a communication apparatus, a reject message with a back-off timer value and a back-off priority indication;
- and
- determining, by the communication apparatus, whether to send a request message according to the back-off priority indication,
- wherein the back-off priority indication indicates a level of priority to apply the back-off timer value.
A communication apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of wirelessly communicating with a network apparatus;
- and
- a processor capable of receiving, via the transceiver, a reject message with a back-off timer value and a back-off priority indication and determining whether to send a request message according to the back-off priority indication,
- wherein the back-off priority indication indicates a level of priority to apply the back-off timer value.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a network apparatus, a back-off timer value and a back-off priority indication;
- including, by the network apparatus, the back-off timer value and the back-off priority indication in a reject message;
- and
- transmitting, by the network apparatus, the reject message to a communication apparatus,
- wherein the back-off priority indication indicates a level of priority to apply the back-off timer value.
A network apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of wirelessly communicating with a communication apparatus;
- and
- a processor capable of determining a back-off timer value and a back-off priority indication, including the back-off timer value and the back-off priority indication in a reject message and transmitting, via the transceiver, the reject message to a communication apparatus,
- wherein the back-off priority indication indicates a level of priority to apply the back-off timer value.
