METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVING WIRELESS NETWORK CAPACITY
First Claim
1. A method for improving wireless network capacity, the method comprising:
- calculating, at a core network entity processing circuit, a plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameters in response to a received service request from a user equipment, the plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameters including a service request rate and connection time change parameter for the user equipment;
adjusting, at the core network entity processing circuit, a dormancy timer for the user equipment based on (i) at least one load condition for the wireless network, and (ii) a comparison between each of the plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameters and a corresponding one of a plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameter threshold values; and
outputting, by a communication interface, the adjusted dormancy timer to a base station serving the user equipment.

Abstract
A core network entity includes a core network entity processing circuit. The core network entity processing circuit calculates a plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameters in response to a received service request from a user equipment, and adjusts a dormancy timer for the user equipment based on (i) at least one load condition for the wireless network, and (ii) a comparison between each of the plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameters and a corresponding one of a plurality of dormancy timer adjustment parameter threshold values. The core network entity then outputs the adjusted dormancy timer to a base station serving the user equipment.
