Proactive overload handling on real-time systems
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- storing, by a network device in a wireless core network, overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of the wireless core network,monitoring, by the network device, load conditions based on the overload handling criteria;
determining, by the network device and based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists;
receiving, by the network device, one or more credit control requests;
determining, by the network device, standard resource quotas that are responsive to the one or more credit control requests; and
allocating, by the network device, increased resource quotas, over the standard resource quotas, for the one or more credit control requests, wherein the increased resource quotas are based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria.

Abstract
A network device stores overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of a wireless core network. The network device monitors for overload conditions based on the overload handling criteria and determines, based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists. The network device receives a first credit control request for a user device, determines a standard resource quota that is responsive to the first credit control request, and allocates an increased resource quota, over the standard resource quota, for the first credit control request. The increased resource quota is based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria. The increased resource quota may prevent the system from reaching a complete overload condition, may reduce overall message traffic, and may provide time for manual or autonomous recovery from the circumstance that caused the potential overload condition.

10. A network device, comprising:
-
an interface to communicate with other devices in a wireless core network; a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor, coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to; store overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of the wireless core network, monitor load conditions based on the overload handling criteria, determine, based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists, receive a first credit control request, determine a standard resource quota that is responsive to the first credit control request, and allocate an increased resource quota, over the standard resource quota, for the first credit control request, wherein the increased resource quota is based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing instructions executable by one or more processors, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions to:
-
store overload handling criteria for a real-time credit management system of a wireless core network; monitor for load conditions based on the overload handling criteria; determine, based on the monitoring, that a potential overload condition exists; receive a first credit control request; determine a standard resource quota that is responsive to the first credit control request; and allocate an increased resource quota, over the standard resource quota, for the first credit control request, wherein the increased resource quota is based on the potential overload condition and the overload handling criteria. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
