Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for communicating RAN congestion status information for large numbers of users are disclosed. In one example, a method for communicating RAN congestion status information for a large number of users includes steps performed PCRF including one or more processors. The method further includes receiving a user-specific message from an RCAF. The method further includes determining that the user-specific message indicates that one or more eNodeBs monitored by the RCAF is congested for a plurality of users using the one or more eNodeBs for radio access to a telecommunications network. The method further includes, in response to determining that the user-specific message indicates that the one or more eNodeBs are congested, performing one or more actions to mitigate the congestion.
