DEFERRING LOAD DURING A PEAK PERIOD ON A CORE NETWORK

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18499826 titled 'DEFERRING LOAD DURING A PEAK PERIOD ON A CORE NETWORK

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure generally relates to deferring one or more load actions on a network function, such as a session management function (SMF), while providing access to communication-related services in a telecommunications network (e.g., a 5G mobile network). Systems described herein involve determining whether the SMF or core network of a telecommunications network is experiencing peak load conditions (e.g., a period of high network traffic) and, based on the determined peak load condition, causing one or more processes to be deferred or otherwise modified during the period of peak load. In this manner, the systems described herein preserve as much bandwidth and processing resources as possible in an effort to avoid degradation of communication applications and services, such as during voice and/or audio calls.
