Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé, à un système, à une station de base, à une entité de gestion de la mobilité (MME, Mobility Management Entity) et à un nœud relais (RN, Relay Node) adaptés pour libérer un équipement d'utilisateur en cas de surcharge d'éléments de réseau (NE, Network Element). Le procédé selon l'invention comprend les étapes suivantes : au cours d'une tentative d'accès d'un équipement d'utilisateur (UE), un eNB donneur (DeNB, Donor eNB) informe le RN de l'entité de gestion de la mobilité de l'équipement d'utilisateur (UE-MME, User Equipment Mobility Management Entity) ; quand une entité de gestion de la mobilité d'un nœud relais (RN-MME, Relay Node Mobility Management Entity) est surchargée, le RN détermine si la RN-MME et la UE-MME sont une seule et même MME, ou non ; si la réponse est négative, le RN initie alors une libération de l'UE ou un transfert intercellulaire de l'UE ; si la réponse est positive, le RN attend alors que la RN-MME initie une libération de l'UE. Grâce à la solution technique de la présente invention, après qu'il a été déterminé que la MME était surchargée, le RN est apte à fonctionner raisonnablement et correctement. Dans ces conditions, la charge de la MME est réduite à un niveau raisonnable.
