The device can sequence and combine the call trace event data for a period of the wireless communication session. The device can analyze the call trace event data to determine a category of network communication traffic transmitted via a communication channel between the network node device and the user equipment. In response to a determination that the network communication traffic comprises streaming video packets, the device can facilitate directing of network resources to be allocated to support the wireless communication session. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device, comprising: a processor;
