Step S1304, after S-GW receives, knows that user's face has occurred in this base station congested, so start user's caching mechanism: the buffer queue that the downlink data packet of carrying is distributed to corresponding priority.
Figure 14 knows that by Network Information Gathering unit the flow chart of the congested method of user's face occurs in base station according to the S-GW of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figure 14.In network, set up a Network Information Gathering unit, collect specially some information in mobile network.
Step S1402, it is congested, congested to this network information unit report of user face that base station judgement is about to that user's face occurs.
Step S1404, it is congested that S-GW knows from network information unit whether the base station of current access user's face has occurred
Step S1406, if congested, by the queue mechanism of enabling of respective base station: all downlink data packet that are this base station by destination address, are distributed to the buffer queue of corresponding priority.
Alleviate if base station user's face is congested, base station can be by similar method notice S-GW.S-GW does not enable above-mentioned queue mechanism, directly data distributing is arrived to respective base station.
Figure 15 is according to the flow chart that the processing of queue overflow occurs in the S-GW of the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in figure 15, this flow process comprises the steps:
Step S1502, S-GW is in data cached, very fast if data arrive, and will cause queue to be overflowed.
Step S1504, S-GW, according to the principle of first in first out, abandons and overflows the packet arriving first in queue.
Step S1506, S-GW abandons to P-GW report data, and S-GW to P-GW, carries out charging adjustment by the data packet number timed sending of losing.This message can send by chain of command message, also can send by user plane messages.
Step S1508, P-GW may be mutual with PCRF, initiates bearing modification process, reduces the speed of carrying, thereby control downlink bearing.
