Signaling message prioritization
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signaling messages;
prioritizing the signaling messages based at least on classifications of the signaling messages;
processing at least a number of the signaling messages in order of priority, the number processed being based at least on a volume of the signaling messages; and
for at least one unprocessed signaling message, replying to a sender of the at least one unprocessed signaling message with a request that the sender wait for a specified time before sending another signaling message, wherein the specified time is selected based on the classification of the at least one unprocessed signaling message.

Abstract
Methods, system, and articles are described herein for receiving and prioritizing a plurality of signaling messages based at least on classifications of the signaling messages. At least a number of the signaling messages are processed in order of priority, the number processed being based at least on a volume of the signaling messages.

12. An article of manufacture comprising:
-
a tangible storage medium; and computer-readable programming instructions stored on the tangible storage medium and configured to program a computing device to perform operations including; receiving a plurality of radio signaling messages; determining whether a volume of the signaling messages exceeds a threshold; and responsive to determining that the volume of the radio signaling messages exceeds the threshold, prioritizing the radio signaling messages based at least on classifications of the radio signaling messages; processing at least a number of the radio signaling messages in order of priority, the number processed being based at least on the volume of the radio signaling messages; and for at least one unprocessed radio signaling message, replying to a sender of the at least one unprocessed radio signaling message with a request that the sender wait for a specified time before sending another signaling message, wherein the replying is performed conditionally based on determining that the at least one unprocessed radio signaling message is associated with a specific classification included in a radio signaling classification protocol. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A telecommunication device comprising:
-
a processor; and a plurality of programming instructions configured to be operated by the processor to perform operations including; formulating a signaling message, including determining a classification associated with the signaling message based on a signaling classification protocol; and transmitting the signaling message to a server for processing in accordance with the signaling message classification, wherein the signaling classification protocol specifies; when a first communication protocol is used, a first bit length for a representation of the classification and a first header field of the signaling message that is to include the representation, and when a second communication protocol is used, a second bit length for the representation of the classification and a second header field of the signaling message that is to include the representation, the first bit length and second bit length being different bit lengths, the first header field and second header field being different header fields, and the first and second communication protocols are different communication protocols. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
