Abstract
Systems, methods, and software for handling traffic congestion messages in wireless communication systems are provided herein. In one example, method of operating a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes monitoring a traffic congestion message transferred by a radio access network of the wireless communication system for delivery to a congestion mitigation node responsive to user traffic congestion for a wireless communication device in the radio access network. The method includes identifying a destination network for the traffic congestion message. When the destination network indicates a congestion mitigation node not in the wireless communication system, the method includes withholding delivery of the traffic congestion message. When the destination network indicates a congestion mitigation node in the wireless communication system, the method includes allowing delivery of the traffic congestion message to the congestion mitigation node in the wireless communication system.
