Abstract
A signaling controller (DSC) performs dynamic management in networks such as Evolved Packet Core (EPC) networks that rely on Diameter signaling interfaces. The controller executes in real time a self-adjusting algorithm that achieves user-based service continuity during signaling storms or congestion situations. The algorithm is self-adjusting on the basis of comparing a signaling and peer group values which are dynamically determined. The dynamic determination of these values is based on items such as signaling message weight and a base value for a network user.
