Abstract
A mobility management entity to facilitate responses to service requests comprises a communication transceiver and a processing system. The communication transceiver is configured to transfer a plurality of requests for delivery to a network element. The processing system is configured to monitor response times of individual responses transmitted from the network element in response to the plurality of requests, process the response times to determine whether or not at least one of the response times exceeds a threshold value, and responsive to determining that at least one of the response times exceeds the threshold value, increase a capacity indicator that indicates an amount of loading on the mobility management entity.
