Abstract
Systems and methods related to congestion monitoring in a mobile communications network; in particular, a congestion monitoring unit that sends congestion information to a policy control unit for a plurality of mobile entities, wherein each of the mobile entities is connected to a respective radio access network and associated with the policy control unit, the congestion information indicates congestion of the respective radio access network. The congestion monitoring unit sends a request message to a policy control unit for transmitting congestion information of a mobile entity, the message routed by a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) and includes congestion information and an identity for a given mobile entity; in response, the policy control unit sends a response message including an identity of the policy control unit. The congestion monitoring unit can then send aggregated congestion information for a plurality of mobile entities associated with the policy control unit.
