OVERLOAD CONTROL IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A method, a radio network node and user equipment (UE) suitable for overload control in a communication network are disclosed. The method comprises, when an overload condition is determined by a radio network node, including an overload indicator (OI) in a MAC PDU to be transmitted to the UE and thereby indicating to the UE that transmission resources for the UE will be allocated at a later point in time, e.g. when there is no longer any overload condition.

1. A method performed by a radio network node for overload control in a communication network, the method comprising:
determining a condition indicative of overload; in response to the determining, including an overload indicator in a Medium Access Control, MAC, Protocol Data Unit, PDU, wherein the overload indicator represents an indication that transmission resources for a user equipment, UE, will be allocated at a later point in time; and transmitting the MAC PDU including the overload indicator to the UE for indicating to the UE that transmission resources will be allocated to the UE at a later point in time.
