Feasibility study on user plane congestion management
This TR considers scenarios and use cases where high usage levels lead to user plane traffic congestion in the RAN, and proposes requirements for handling user plane traffic when RAN congestion occurs. The aim is to make efficient use of available resources to increase the potential number of active users while maintaining the user experience.
Scenarios that will be considered include handling of user plane traffic when RAN congestion occurs based on:
• the subscription of the user;
• the type of application;
• the type of content.
