Optimised control of traffic load on switches in a communication network
First Claim
1. A method for optimizing control of traffic load in the form of connected messages on one or more switches in a fixed telephony and/or mobile telephony communication network for maximum exploitation of the capacity of the switch(es) when broadcasting content regarding an undesirable event in a specific geographical area associated with the switch(es), characterised in that the method comprises the following steps:
- a) establishing information on who is located within the geographical area in question;
b) assigning load status on relevant switch(es) in the geographical area in question by performing a test transmission with simultaneous calls, and reading the status of RSO (Remote Switch Overload);
c) clarifying the content to be broadcasted, and implementing broadcasting;
d) monitoring the load on the switch(es);
e) changing the number of message exchanges as a result of revealed load status on the switch(es).
