DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
Embodiment 1 [0017] A processing procedure of a method for load control on a wireless communications network according to this embodiment is as shown in FIG 1, including:
[0018] 11. An RNC receives an RRC connection request sent by a NodeB, and the RNC
acquires a flow control level of the NodeB.
[0019] For example, the RNC may receive a load status report that includes load information of the NodeB and is sent by the NodeB, and determine the flow control level of the NodeB according to the load information of the NodeB.
[0020] Further, the load information of the NodeB may be overload indication information or normal load indication information, and the RNC determines the flow control level of the NodeB
according to the amount of the overload indication information and the normal load indication information that are received in a set time period.
[0021] 12. The RNC chooses, according to the flow control level of the NodeB, to reject or process the RRC connection request.
[0022] For example, the RNC compares the flow control level of the NodeB
with a threshold and chooses, according to a comparison result, to reject or process the RRC
connection request.
[0023] Further, the RNC may convert the flow control level of the NodeB into a flow control probability factor, where the flow control probability factor is proportional to the flow control level, and the flow control probability factor is an integer.
[0024] The RNC may generate a random number, where the random number is an integer; and reject the RRC connection request when the flow control probability factor is greater than the random number; otherwise, process the RRC connection request.
[0025] As can be seen from the technical solution provided in the embodiment, in this embodiment, an RNC chooses, according to a flow control level of a NodeB, to reject or process the RRC connection request. In this way, the RNC can distinctively process an RRC
connection request of each NodeB and distinctively perform flow control on each NodeB
according to a specific load usage condition of each NodeB.
Embodiment 2 [0026] A processing procedure of a method for load control on a wireless communications network according to this embodiment is as shown in FIG. 2, including:
[0027] 21. A load status request and a load status report may be transmitted through a lub interface between an RNC and a NodeB in this embodiment of the present invention, where the load status request is used by the RNC to instruct the NodeB to report load status information, and the load status report is used by the NodeB to report the load status information to the RNC.
[0028] When the RNC needs to know the load status information of the NodeB, the RNC may send a load status request to the NodeB and start a load status statistics timer.
[0029] 22. After receiving the load status request, the NodeB sends a load status report to the RNC, where the load status report carries load information of the NodeB.
[0030] For example, after receiving the load status request, the NodeB determines, according to a set time interval, whether its load exceeds a preset threshold;
if yes, sends a load status report that carries overload indication information to the RNC;
otherwise, sends a load status report that carries normal load indication information to the RNC.
[0031] Further, the NodeB may determine, according to a set time interval (five seconds for example), whether power resources used by the NodeB exceed a preset power resource congestion threshold and whether signaling resources used by the NodeB exceed a preset signaling resource congestion threshold.
[0032] When determining that the power resources used by the NodeB
exceed the power resource congestion threshold and/or the signaling resources used by the NodeB exceed the signaling resource congestion threshold, the NodeB sends a load status report that carries the overload indication information to the RNC; otherwise, sends a load status report that carries the normal load indication information to the RNC.
[0033] 23. In a timing duration of the load status statistics timer, the RNC receives the load status report sent by the NodeB and determines a flow control level of the NodeB
according to the load information of the NodeB carried in the load status report.
[0034] For example, the RNC may determine the flow control level of the NodeB
according to the amount of the overload indication information and the normal load indication information that are received in a set time period. Specifically, in the timing duration of the load status statistics timer, the RNC adds a set value to a saved value of the flow control level of the NodeB when the load status report carries the overload indication information and reduces the saved value of the flow control level of the NodeB by the set value when the load status report carries the normal load indication information.
[0035] Exemplarily, a value range of the value of the flow control level of the NodeB
may be 0-10 that indicate 11 flow control levels of the NodeB. The set value may be 1.
[0036] 24. The RNC may compare the flow control level of the NodeB
with a threshold and choose, according to a comparison result, to reject or process the RRC
connection request.
[0037] Further, the RNC may convert the flow control level of the NodeB into a flow control probability factor, where the flow control probability factor is proportional to the flow control level, and the flow control probability factor is an integer, for example, it may be an integer between 0 and 100.
[0038] A random number is used as the threshold in this embodiment of the present invention because an RRC connection request that is received by the NodeB and sent by a mobile terminal is random. The RNC generates a random number, where the random number is an integer, for example, it may be an integer between 0 and 100. When the flow control probability factor is greater than the random number, the RRC connection request is rejected;
otherwise, the RRC connection request is processed, and the NodeB is instructed to accept an access request of the mobile terminal.
[0039] Further, in the preceding 21, a load status termination message may further be transmitted through the tub interface between the RNC and the NodeB, where the load status termination message is used by the RNC to instruct the NodeB to stop reporting the load status information.
[0040] Therefore, in the preceding 23, after the timing duration of the load status statistics timer expires, the RNC stops receiving the load status report after sending the load status termination message to the NodeB. After receiving the load status termination message sent by the RNC, the 5a =
NodeB stops sending the load status report to the RNC.
[0041] The RNC saves the last acquired value, of the flow control level of the NodeB.
According to the preceding processing procedure, the RNC may acquire and save values of flow control levels of all NodeBs managed by the RNC.
[0042] Further, in the preceding 21, a congestion statistics interval timer may further be started when the RNC starts the load status statistics timer in this embodiment of the present invention, where a timing duration of the congestion statistics interval timer is shorter than the timing duration of the load status statistics timer.
[0043] Therefore, in the preceding 23, before the congestion statistics interval timer expires, the RNC does not process the received load status report sent by the NodeB. After the congestion statistics interval timer expires and before the load status statistics timer expires, the received load status report sent by the NodeB is processed so as to acquire the overload indication information or the normal load indication information that is carried in the load status report.
[0044] The congestion statistics interval timer is configured to set a time interval for performing statistics collection on the load status information of the NodeB, so as to prevent the NodeB from frequently and repeatedly reporting the overload indication information in a relatively short duration.
[0045] As can be seen from the technical solution provided in the embodiment, in this embodiment, an RNC perceives a load usage condition of a NodeB according to a received load status report sent by the NodeB and chooses, according to the load usage condition of the NodeB, to reject or process the RRC connection request. In this way, the RNC can distinctively process an RRC connection request of each NodeB and distinctively perform flow control on each NodeB
according to a specific load usage condition of each NodeB.
[0046] An RNC may flexibly control a statistics duration and a statistics time interval of a load usage condition of a NodeB by arranging a load status statistics timer and a congestion statistics interval timer, thereby preventing the NodeB from frequently and repeatedly reporting overload indication information in a relatively short duration. The NodeB may flexibly choose, according to a condition of power resources or signaling resources used by the NodeB, to send a load status report that carries overload indication information or normal load indication information to the RNC.

[0048] As can be seen from the technical solution provided in the embodiment, in this embodiment, an RNC chooses, according to a flow control level of a NodeB, to reject or process the RRC connection request. In this way, the RNC can distinctively process an RRC
connection request of each NodeB and distinctively perform flow control on each NodeB according to a specific load usage condition of each NodeB.

[0051] Further, the flow control level determining module 412 may include:

and start a load status statistics timer; and a calculation processing module 4122, configured to determine the flow control level of the NodeB according to the amount of overload indication information and normal load indication information that are received in a timing duration of the load status statistics timer. Specifically, in the timing duration of the load status statistics timer, a load status report sent by the NodeB
according to a set time interval is received; and the RNC adds a set value to a saved value of the flow control level of the NodeB when the load status report carries the overload indication information, and reduces the value of the flow control level of the NodeB by the set value when the load status report carries the normal load indication information.
Exemplarily, a value range of the value of the flow control level of the NodeB may be 0-10 that indicate 10 flow control levels of the NodeB. The set value may be 1. When a value of a flow control level that is obtained through calculation is greater than 10, the value of the flow control value is set to 10; and when a value of a flow control level that is obtained through calculation is less than 0, the value of the flow control value is set to 0.
[0052] Further, the timing controlling module 4121 is further configured to, after the load status statistics timer expires, send a load status termination message to the NodeB.

[0055] The calculation processing module 4122 is further configured to, before the congestion statistics interval timer expires, not process the received load status report sent by the NodeB; and after the congestion statistics interval timer expires, process the received load status report sent by the NodeB.

[0057] Further, the comparison processing module 421 is further configured to convert the flow control level of the NodeB into a flow control probability factor, where the flow control probability factor is proportional to the flow control level, and the flow control probability factor is an integer between 0 and 100.
[0058] The choosing processing module 422 is further configured to generate a random number, where the random number is an integer between 0 and 100; reject the RRC
connection request when the flow control probability factor acquired by the comparison processing module is greater than the random number; otherwise, process the RRC connection request.
[0059] This embodiment further provides another apparatus for load control on a wireless communications network, where the apparatus may be arranged on a NodeB, a specific structure of the apparatus is as shown in FIG. 5, and the apparatus specifically includes:

to determine a flow control level of the NodeB according to the load information of the NodeB.
[0060] Specifically, the load status report sending module 52 is further configured to, after the load status request is received, determine, according to a set time interval, whether load of the NodeB exceeds a preset threshold; if yes, send a load status report that carries overload indication information to the RNC; otherwise, send a load status report that carries normal load indication information to the RNC.
[0061] Further, the load status report sending module 52 may determine, according to a set time interval (five seconds for example) after the load status request is received, whether power resources used by the base station exceed a preset power resource congestion threshold and whether signaling resources used by the base station exceed a preset signaling resource congestion threshold, where the signaling resources may be signaling board CPUs.
