Abstract:
1. A method of regulating traffic in a telecommunications network for a plurality of terminals, comprising the steps of: receiving, at a core of the telecommunications network, a registration request from one of the plurality of terminals; if the telecommunications network successfully processes said registration request but is unable to link it with a previous registration request, said received registration request is considered to be an initial registration request, and the telecommunications network sets for said one terminal that sent said initial registration request a registration refresh period randomly selected from a range defined by a predetermined minimum value and a predetermined maximum value, wherein the registration refresh period specifies a time period between the successfully-processed initial registration request and a subsequent registration request received from said one terminal; receiving, at the core of the telecommunications network, the subsequent registration request from said one terminal that sent said initial registration request; and if the telecommunications network successfully processes said subsequent registration request and is able to link it with said initial registration request, said received subsequent registration request is considered to be a registration refresh request, and the telecommunications network sets for said one terminal that sent said initial registration request and said registration refresh request, a registration refresh period equal to a predetermined value provided for normal operation of the telecommunications network.
