1. A relay node for a communication system, the relay node comprising:
- a controller; and
a receiver configured to receive, from a donor base station, an overload message including information representing an identity of at least one overload affected core network node;
wherein the controller is configured to use the information representing the identity of the overload affected core network node to identify to which traffic an overload procedure represented by said overload message is applied and to apply said overload procedure.

Abstract
A relay communications system is described in which a base station receives a request from an MME that an overload procedure be started or stopped. The base station inserts the identity of the MME into the request and forwards the modified request to a relay node. The relay node then initiates or terminates the overload procedure in accordance with the request for mobile telephones which the MME that made the request serves, but not for mobile telephones which the MME does not serve.

7. A donor base station for a communication system, the donor base station comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive, from an overload affected core network node, an overload message; a controller configured to generate identity information representing an identity of the overload affected core network node and including said generated identity information in said overload message; and a transmitter configured to transmit, to a relay node, the overload message including the information representing an identity of the overload affected core network node. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A method performed by a relay node in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from a donor base station, an overload message including information representing an identity of at least one overload affected core network node; using the information representing the identity of the overload affected core network node to identify to which traffic an overload procedure represented by said overload message is applied and to apply said overload procedure accordingly.

13. A method performed by a donor base station in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from an overload affected core network node, an overload message; generating identity information representing an identity of the overload affected core network node and including said generated identity information in said overload message; and transmitting, to a relay node, the overload message including the information representing an identity of the overload affected core network node.
