    摘要: In the context of an execution of a pairing phase for pairing at least one communication device with a wireless access point creating a plurality of cells in distinct respective spectral bands, the wireless access point: obtains a sequencing of the cells created by the access point according to a criterion of occupation of the spectral bands; and activates a systematic authorisation of pairing via each cell during a first predefined duration, of any communication device that so requests, starting from the cell in the least occupied spectral band up to the cell in the most occupied spectral band according to the sequencing obtained, applying a shift in time of a second predefined duration that is at least equal to a period of time statistically necessary for the communication device to effect the pairing with the wireless access point and which is strictly less than said first predefined period.

    摘要: A system and method to perform load-balancing and congestion control between a primary Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a secondary RAT. A broadcast message is sent to all User Equipments (UEs) operating under the secondary RAT. If the primary RAT is congested, a congestion indicator in the broadcast message prevents the UEs from idle re-selecting or switching to the primary RAT. Even if the primary RAT is not congested, the broadcast message may still include other parameters such as one or more probability values, a group identifier for the UE groups, and a retention timer. The idle UEs in the secondary RAT that generate device-specific random values that are equal to or greater than the applicable probability threshold value(s) are allowed to reselect the primary RAT. If an idle UE fails this probability test, it may not be allowed to reselect the primary RAT again until the retention timer expires.
