ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OVERLOAD CONTROL

The present disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th generation (6G) communication system to support higher data transmission rates after a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). According to embodiments, a method performed by a E2 node is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a near-real time (Near-RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC), a first message for indicating that load status of the Near-RT RIC is overloaded, waiting for signaling on E2 interface until receiving a second message indicating that the load status of the Near-RT RIC is not overloaded, based on the first message, receiving, from the Near-RT RIC, the second message, and performing the signaling on the E2 interface after receiving the second message.
