PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques and configurations for handling a wait time in a wireless communication network when the network is determined to be congested.SOLUTION: An apparatus includes computer-readable media having instructions and one or more processors coupled with the computer-readable media. The one or more processors send a radio resource control request message to a wireless network controller, and receive a response message including an extended wait time value. The one or more processors determine upon receipt of the response message whether a back-off timer associated with the apparatus is running, and determine whether to start the backoff timer with the received extended wait time value on the basis of at least in part the determination of whether the back-off timer is running and the received wait time value is integrity protected.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
