Alleviating and overriding throttled conditions in LTE
First Claim
1. Computer hardware storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, facilitate a method of preventing a registration storm in an LTE network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an MME, an indication that a throttling threshold has been reached, the throttling threshold preventing network elements from being overloaded;
receiving, at the MME, an attach attempt initiated by a mobile device;
communicating a cause code to the mobile device directing the mobile device to refrain from further attach attempts,wherein the cause code expires once the mobile device enter an idle mode.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for alleviating and overriding throttled conditions in Long Term Evolution networks are provided. In embodiments, indications that throttled conditions have been reached are received at Mobile Management Entities. Cause codes are communicated, in embodiments, to mobile devices directing the mobile devices to refrain from further attach attempts. In embodiments, attach attempts associated with unique identifiers are received by the Mobile Management Entities that override throttled conditions. In embodiments, authentication failure conditions from the Mobile Management Entities are detected. Algorithms are invoked, in embodiments, to initiate cell barring modes for base stations and detect failure percentages.
