Abstract
A method and arrangement for limiting the paging load of a mobile communication system. The number of calls initiated during a given time interval is counted and the number of calls to be initiated during a given time interval is counted and the number of calls to be initiated is limited to a predetermined maximum value. The system is implemented with a counter that counts the number of calls to be initiated during given time interval, a timer which measures the desired time interval and a comparator for limiting the number of calls to be initiated to a predetermined maximum value.
Claims8
A method for limiting a paging load in a mobile communication system comprising:
- limiting a number of calls to be initiated to a predetermined maximum value;
- counting a number of calls initiated during a given time interval;
- performing one of decreasing and increasing said number of calls to be initiated when a new call is initiated;
- measuring time lapsed from the initiation of the new call;
- and
- performing one of increasing and decreasing said number of calls to be initiated, respectively, when said given time interval has lapsed from the initiation of the new call.
An arrangement for limiting a call load in a mobile communication system, comprising:
- counting means for counting a number of calls initiated during a given time interval;
- second means for limiting the number of calls to be initiated to a predetermined maximum value;
- means for performing one of increasing and decreasing said number of calls to be initiated when a new call is initiated;
- means for measuring time lapsed from the initiation of the new call;
- and
- means for respectively performing one of decreasing and increasing said number of calls to be initiated when said given time interval has lapsed from the initiation of the new call.
