Abstract
A method for managing a plurality of call origination requests is provided. The method includes receiving (204) the plurality of call origination requests from a plurality of communication devices. Further, the method includes queuing (206) the plurality of call origination requests, based on a predefined policy, when a base station is operating in a congestion mode. Furthermore, the method includes processing (208) each call origination request of the plurality of call origination requests, based on the queued plurality of call origination requests.
Claims12
A method for managing a plurality of call origination requests, the method comprising:
- receiving the plurality of call origination requests from a plurality of communication devices;
- queuing the plurality of call origination requests based on a predefined policy when a base station is operating in a congestion mode;
- and
- processing each call origination request of the plurality of call origination requests based on the queued plurality of call origination requests, wherein processing each call origination request comprises converting a call origination request into a call termination request when the base station is operating in the congestion mode, further wherein converting the call origination request to the call termination request comprises:
- adjusting a paging indicator power level on a quick paging channel based on a parameter;
- and
- sending the call termination request to a communication device corresponding to the call origination request at the adjusted paging indicator power level via the quick paging channel.
A base station comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive a plurality of call origination requests from a plurality of communication devices;
- and
- send a call termination request to a communication device of the plurality of communication devices;
- and
- a processing unit configured to:
- determine whether the base station is operating in a congestion mode;
- queue the plurality of call origination requests based on a predefined policy when the base station is operating in the congestion mode;
- process each call origination request of the plurality of call origination requests based on the queued plurality of call origination requests;
- adjust a paging indicator power level on a paging channel based on a parameter when the base station is operating in the congestion mode, wherein the paging channel is utilized for sending a call termination request for establishing a call;
- and
- reject a re-sent call origination request from one or more communication devices from the plurality of communication devices when a previous call origination request corresponding to the one or more communication devices has been queued.
