SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING CELL CONGESTION LEVELS IN MOBILE NETWORKS

摘要

Disclosed a methods, circuits, apparatuses and associated computer executable code for regulating congestion levels on at least one segment of a data communication network. According to some embodiments, a data communication network may include an access point along with both uplink and downlink data paths. The network may include a traffic management appliance. The appliance or functionally associated device may include a traffic monitor to measure a downlink congestion level on a segment of the network downlink. The appliance or a functionally associated device may include a transmission manager to intercept or suppress uplink data traffic when the traffic monitor indicates a downlink congestion level exceeding a first threshold level.

主权项

1. A data traffic management appliance for a mobile communication network, said appliance comprising:
a traffic monitor to measure a downlink congestion level on a segment of the network downlink; and a transmission manager to intercept or suppress uplink data traffic when said traffic monitor indicates a downlink congestion level exceeding a first threshold level.
