Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for overload control in a wireless communication system. An overload control mechanism identifies an instance of use to eliminate from among a plurality of instances of use in a wireless coverage area. In an overload situation, the overload control mechanism may, for each instance of use, determine a respective ratio of the value of instance of use to the quantity of resource consumed by the instance of use. The overload control mechanism may then sort the instances of use in order of determined ratios to produce a sorted order of the instances of use. The overload control mechanism may select as many instances of use as possible, such that the total amount of resources consumed by the selected instances of use is as high as possible without exceeding the threshold load, and then the overload control mechanism may eliminate the remaining instances of use.
