APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF SERVICE REQUESTS IN AN OVERLOAD ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, responsive to a determination that a number of failed service requests directed to a first access technology exceeds a threshold for a maximum number of failed service requests, performing cell selection associated with a second radio access technology during an overload mitigation time duration; and responsive to a determination of an expiration of the overload mitigation time duration, transmitting additional service requests associated with the first radio access technology. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations comprising: receiving from another device, in a peer-to-peer transaction, configuration information including status data of a network, wherein the other device operates in a first cell of the network, and wherein the first cell is associated with a first radio access technology; transmitting service requests to the first cell; determining a number of consecutive failed service requests transmitted to the first cell, wherein a failure of a service request corresponds to expiration of a predetermined time period without a response to the service request; responsive to a determination that the number of consecutive failed service requests exceeds a threshold number:
determining an overload mitigation time duration associated with the first radio access technology based on the status data, andperforming a first cell-selection procedure to select a second cell associated with a second radio access technology during the overload mitigation time duration, the second cell being different from the first cell; and responsive to a determination of an expiration of the overload mitigation time duration:
performing a second cell-selection procedure to select a third cell associated with the first radio access technology, andtransmitting additional service requests associated with the first radio access technology.
