FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: method for localised congestion exposure within a local loop in a cellular network that is performed by a localised congestion exposure receiver node of local loop. Method includes receiving downlink packets destined for a downstream user device. Downlink packets have feedback that indicates a level of congestion experienced by downlink packets. Headers also indicate a level of expected downstream congestion declared by an upstream node. Method also includes forwarding downlink packets to downstream user device through a wireless connection. Method further includes sending packets upstream that have feedback indicative of level of congestion experienced by downlink packets and any congestion experienced within localised congestion exposure receiver node.
EFFECT: method enables to prevent congestion field of use of networks.
