-This paper analysis overload control characteristics of the application server in the next generation electric communication network, as well as the application server overload detection requirements, propose an energy efficiency overload control algorithm based on particle swarm. First of all, we consider the problem of overload control and network efficiency at the same time, based on rate allocation algorithm, construct the control input rate and energy efficiency model, on which the energy efficiency optimization overload control model is built. After that, the particle swarm optimization is used to solve the model, where the optimal solution is obtained by the iterative process. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective.
