Abstract:
1. A computer-readable storage device comprising computer instructions, which, responsive to being executed by a processor of a wireless communication device, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving configuration information over a network, wherein the configuration information includes threshold parameters for a maximum number of connection requests and a maximum time period for transmitting the connection requests, and wherein the configuration information includes a cell barring time period for performing cell barring; monitoring for radio resource control connection requests being transmitted from the wireless communication device to a first server of a first cell of the network; determining a number of failed radio resource control connection requests based on the monitoring; determining a time of a first failed radio resource control connection request of the failed radio resource control connection requests based on the monitoring; determining whether the number of failed radio resource control connection requests and the time of the first failed radio resource control connection request satisfy a cell barring threshold based on the threshold parameters; and responsive to a determination that the cell barring threshold has been satisfied, causing the wireless communication device to perform cell selection for a second cell of the network and to perform the cell barring of the first cell.
