Abstract

A computing device, which is associated with a telecommunication access network, is configured to detect (i) congestion in uplink traffic from a plurality of user equipments (UEs) to a base station (BS), and (ii) a level of the congestion in the uplink traffic from the plurality of UEs to the BS. The computing device is further configured to modify a network or UE setting to generate a modified setting, and transmit the modified setting to a first UE of the plurality of UEs, to facilitate the first UE to transmit to the BS in accordance with the modified setting. In an embodiment, the computing device is the BS.
