Abstract
A method for controlling a connection between a user equipment and a network includes receiving, by a MME, a network connection request sent by a user equipment. The method further includes determining a priority of the network connection request and a network overload state. The method further includes controlling a connection between the user equipment and a network according to the priority of the network connection request and the network overload state.
Claims20
A method for controlling a connection between a user equipment and a network, wherein the method is implemented by a mobility management entity, and wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a network connection request from the user equipment;
- determining a priority of the network connection request and a network overload state by determining that the priority of the network connection request is a non-low priority when the network connection request does not carry priority information;
- and
- controlling the connection between the user equipment and the network according to the priority of the network connection request and the network overload state.
A mobility management entity, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive a network connection request from a user equipment;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- determine a priority of the network connection request and a network overload state;
- control a connection between the user equipment and a network according to the priority of the network connection request and the network overload state;
- and
- determine that the priority of the network connection request is a non-low priority when the network connection request does not carry priority information.
A user equipment, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- send a network connection request to a mobility management entity;
- and
- receive, from the mobility management entity, a rejection message comprising a back-off time;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- start a timer according to the back-off time;
- forbid, within the back-off time, the user equipment from sending a low priority network connection request to the mobility management entity;
- and
- allow, within the back-off time, the user equipment to send a non-low priority network connection request to the mobility management entity.
