Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a device and from a base station in a cellular network, information defining a congestion state of queues at the base station, the queues being used to perform buffering for a radio interface in the cellular network, wherein the information defining the congestion state includes a plurality of binary values, wherein each of the plurality of binary values indicates whether a particular one of the queues is congested, and wherein receiving the information further comprises: performing flow control, by the device and for the TCP session, based on the information defining the congestion state and based on the particular one of the plurality of binary values; and transmitting, by the device, data, based on the performed flow control, to user equipment (UE) connected to the cellular network, the data being transmitted via the TCP session.
