COMPONENT, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION OF DATA OF AT LEAST ONE APPLICATION OF A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. An application traffic controlling component configured to control communication of data of at least one application of a communications network at an entity of the communications network, the application traffic controlling component is configured to:
- control transmission of a first and a second type of data of the at least one application of the communications network, andinitiate a temporal transmission suppression session, where transmitting of a first type data, being data of the first type, is interrupted and a second data, being data of the second type, is transmitted during the temporal transmission suppression session,initiate the temporal transmission suppression session if the application traffic controlling component has received a temporal transmission suppression session request from a plurality of neighboring entities, wherein the number of plurality of neighboring entities is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

Abstract
For improving application data traffic in a communications network, data traffic of at least one application of the communications network is divided into two types in view of the current situation of the network—a first type comprising data, which can be transmitted by delaying the transmission, and a second type comprising data, which should not be delayed but should be transmitted at the current time. When an analysis of the current (average) load of the network shows that transmitting both types of data could lead to a heavy data traffic, a temporal transmission suppression session can be performed with regard to at least one entity of the communications network. In the temporal transmission suppression session, transmitting of data of the first type is interrupted during transmitting data of the second type. After completion of transmitting data of the second type, transmitting data of the first type is resumed.

12. A method for controlling communication of data of at least one application of a communications network at an entity of the communications network, wherein transmission of a first and a second type of data of the at least one application of the communications network is controlled, and wherein the method comprises initiating a temporal transmission suppression session, where transmitting of a first type data, being data of the first type, is interrupted and a second data, being data of the second type, is transmitted during the temporal transmission suppression session, wherein the temporal transmission suppression session is initiated if a temporal transmission suppression session request is received from a plurality of neighboring entities, wherein the number of plurality of neighboring entities is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.
