PROVISIONING OF APPLICATION CATEGORIES AT A USER EQUIPMENT DURING NETWORK CONGESTION

摘要

Technology for provisioning categories of applications on a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. A registration update message may be received at a wireless network element from the UE over non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. Application Specific Congestion Control for Data Communications (ACDC)/Application and Service Access Control (ASAC) information may be communicated from the wireless network element to the UE in response to receiving the registration update message. The ACDC/ASAC may be activated at a selected prioritization level, at the wireless network element, while a wireless network channel condition of a wireless network exceeds a capacity threshold, the ACDC/ASAC enabling only application categories to operate at the UE that are contained in the ACDC/ASAC information.

主权项

1. A wireless network element operable to provision categories of applications on a mobile device, the wireless network element having computer circuitry configured to:
communicate Application Specific Congestion Control for Data Communications (ACDC)/Application and Service Access Control (ASAC) information to the mobile device, the ACDC/ASAC information including a preconfigured white list of application categories containing categories of applications that are allowed to access the wireless network when ACDC/ASAC is activated in the wireless network; detect that a wireless network channel condition of the wireless network exceeds a capacity threshold; and activate the ACDC/ASAC at a selected prioritization level while the capacity threshold is exceeded, the ACDC/ASAC enabling only categories of applications contained in the preconfigured white list to operate at the mobile device.
