Abstract: Systems and methods for throttling network usage are disclosed. An exemplary method includes an access device maintaining throttling command interpretation data, receiving a throttling command broadcast over a wide area network, interpreting the throttling command based on the throttling command interpretation data, and conforming at least one operation of the access device to a network usage throttling level in accordance with the interpretation of the throttling command. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: A server device in a long term evolution (LTE) network may store, in a memory, context information, associated with a prior communication session between the LTE network and a user device, where the context information permits a communication session to be established within a time period, the time period being less than another time period to initially establish the communication session or to establish the communication session without the context information. The server device may further receive a registration request associated with the user device; determine whether the memory stores the context information; perform, within the time period, an abbreviated registration operation to establish the communication session with the user device, using the context information from the memory, when the memory stores the content information; and perform, within the other time period, a registration operation to establish the communication session when the memory does not store the context information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for throttling network usage are disclosed. An exemplary method includes at least one network device monitoring usage of a wide area network, selecting a throttling command based on the monitored usage of the wide area network, and broadcasting the throttling command to a plurality of access devices connected to the wide area network. The throttling command is configured for interpretation and use by each access device within the plurality of access devices to conform at least one operation to a network usage throttling level in accordance with the interpretation of the throttling command. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
