First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling traffic of a radio access network (RAN) by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a mobility management entity (MME), control information for controlling congestion in the RAN; and
allocating resources in an uplink from the base station for a user equipment (UE), the resources being allocated based on the control information and a congestion condition in the RAN determined based at least in part on total traffic volume between the UE and the base station via two or more gateways,wherein the control information includes quality of service (QoS) information, the QoS information including a combination of priority information for a service and congestion information, andwherein the control information is updated by the MME based on information indicating that an amount of traffic used by the UE has reached a traffic volume limit value.

Abstract
Provided is a method for controlling traffic of a Radio Access Network (RAN) in a wireless communication system. The method includes acquiring at least one of subscription class information of a User Equipment (UE) user and type information of an application or content; determining whether a congestion situation has occurred in the RAN; and controlling traffic for the UE based on the acquired information, if the congestion situation has occurred in the RAN.

8. A base station for controlling traffic of a radio access network (RAN) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to receive, from a mobility management entity (MME), control information for controlling congestion in the RAN; and a controller configured to allocate resources in an uplink from the base station for a user equipment (UE), the resources being allocated based on the control information and a congestion condition in the RAN determined based at least in part on total traffic volume between the UE and the base station via two or more gateways, wherein the control information includes quality of service (QoS) information, the QoS information including a combination of priority information for a service and congestion information, wherein the control information is updated by the MME based on information indicating that an amount of traffic used by the UE has reached a traffic volume limit value. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
