Abstract
Systems and methods for preventing aggressive or abusing signaling on networks are disclosed. When a user equipment (UE), such as a cell phone, sends a request to a network (e.g., a REGISTER, SUBSCRIBE, or PUBLISH request), a network entity can start a 'guard timer' and/or increment a 'guard counter.' The guard timer can comprise a predetermined amount of time within which one or more additional requests from the same UE will be ignored. Similarly, the guard timer can be used in conjunction with a guard counter. The guard counter can enable a UE to make a predetermined number of requests before the guard timer expires. If the UE exceeds the guard counter before the guard timer expires, any additional requests will be ignored. When the guard timer expires, the guard counter is reset to zero to enable the UE to make additional requests.
