MANAGING EVENT GENERATED OVERLOAD OF A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for managing localized event generated overload of a communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving input indicating a status change of an event;
generating an output to the communication network indicating that loading of the communication will be increasing in response to the status change; and
modifying the services available in geographic proximity to the event in order to accommodate an increased load due to the status change.

Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for managing localized, event-generated overload of a communication network. A first step (400) includes receiving input indicative of a status change of an event in a sports stadium. A next step (402) includes generating an output to the communication network indicating that loading of the communication could be increasing in response to the status change. A next step (404) includes predicting an increased load due to the status change and comparing (406) this against a threshold. A next step (408) includes modifying the services available in geographic proximity to the event for a predetermined period in order to accommodate the increased load due to the status change.

20. A system for managing localized event generated overload of a communication network, the system comprising:
-
an event monitor operable to receive input indicating a status change of an event and generate an output to the communication network indicating that loading of the communication will be increasing in response to the status change; and at least one base station servicing the area of the event, the at least one base station operable to modify the services available in proximity to the event in order to accommodate an increased load due to the status change.
