CELLULAR BROADCAST SYSTEM TO DISPERSE CROWDS

This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for alerting a user equipment, UE, to an overcrowding situation by network entity, the network entity storing UE identifiers and region identifiers, already known to the network entity, for multiple UEs (1002)and for each region identifier, determining a number of UEs in a spatial region associated with the region identifier (1004). The network entity compares comparing the determined number of UEs with a region identifier to a first threshold value (1006). If the determined number of UEs in the spatial region exceeds the first threshold value, the network entity transmits a first message including a warning message indicator to UEs in the spatial region, the warning message indicator providing an indication of warning message parameters (1008) and, based on the warning message parameters, broadcasts a second message to the UEs in the spatial region (1010).
