Abstract
A method and system for improved management of UE service. A base station will predict that its air interface will become threshold highly loaded. And, in response to that prediction but before the predicted threshold high load occurs, the base station will proactively manage service of UEs based on a prediction of how much each UE would suffer from bearer loss if and when the predicted threshold high load occurs. For instance, the base station may predict for each UE a level of service degradation based on service value of each bearer, if any, that the UE would lose if the threshold high load occurs. And the base station may take proactive action, such as triggering a handover and/or providing an alert message, with respect to each UE whose predicted level of service degradation is threshold high.
