OVERLOAD CONTROL AND COORDINATION BETWEEN M2M SERVICE LAYER AND 3GPP NETWORKS

摘要

Various issues with existing congestion and overload control mechanisms are recognized and described herein. Described herein, in accordance with various embodiments, are various mechanisms in which core networks, such as 3 GPP networks for example, and an M2M service layer can coordinate and share information to efficiently and intelligently manage each other's congestion and overload states.

1. A service layer node comprising a processor, a memory, and communication circuitry, the service layer node being connected to a core network via its communication circuitry, the service layer node further comprising computer-executable instructions stored in the memory of the service layer node which, when executed by the processor of the service layer node, cause the service layer node to:
receive an indication message associated with a congestion condition of the core network, the indication message including one or more parameters corresponding to the congestion condition; select, based on the one or more parameters, an action to reduce activity on the core network; and perform the selected action to reduce activity on the core network, thereby eliminating the congestion condition.
