Real-time user traffic classification in wireless networks

A method, comprising:

• receiving, from a second network device by a first network device comprising a processor, call trace event data for a wireless communication session between the second network device and a user equipment;
• sequencing and combining, by the first network device, the call trace event data for a time period applicable to the wireless communication session;
• during the wireless communication session, analyzing, by the first network device, the call trace event data to determine whether network communication traffic transmitted via a communication channel between the second network device and the user equipment comprises streaming video packets, wherein the call trace event data comprises information relating to a download volume and an upload volume of the user equipment over a defined time period during a portion of the wireless communication session;
• and
• in response to a determination, based on the analyzing, that the network communication traffic comprises the streaming video packets, initiating, by the first network device, direction of network resources to be allocated to support the wireless communication session.

A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a network device comprising a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving call trace event data from a network node device, wherein the call trace event data is derived from a wireless communication session between the network node device and a user equipment, wherein the wireless communication session carries network communication traffic generated by an application executing on the user equipment;
• sequencing and combining the call trace event data during at least part of the wireless communication session;
• during the wireless communication session, analyzing the call trace event data to determine whether the network communication traffic transmitted via a communication channel between the network node device and the user equipment comprises video streaming packets, wherein the call trace event data comprises a radio bearer traffic report comprising volume data relating to a download volume and an upload volume of the user equipment over a defined time period during a portion of the wireless communication session;
• and
• in response to a determination, based on the analyzing, that the network communication traffic comprises the streaming video packets, instructing that network resources be allocated to support the wireless communication session.
