Controlling data rate based on domain and radio usage history

A system for managing data streams, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations, comprising:
• identifying a time interval during which a predicted load level of a radio access node is determined to be threshold likely to exceed a threshold load level for the radio access node, in communication with a mobile device, wherein the predicted load level is determined based on a rolling average of historical load information for the radio access node;
• determining, based on geographic movement of the mobile device, that the mobile device is transitioning between an additional radio access node and the radio access node, wherein the time interval is identified based on the transitioning of the mobile device;
• during the time interval:
• determining a margin by which the predicted load level exceeds the threshold load level;
• and
• based on the margin, determining an amount of a delay when transmitting a packet included in a data stream between the mobile device and a domain;
• and
• after passage of the time interval:
• transmitting subsequent packets included in the data stream between the mobile device and the domain.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform of operations, comprising:

• identifying a time span for which a predicted load level of a radio access node, in communication with a mobile device, is determined to exceed a threshold load level for the radio access node, wherein the predicted load level is based on a rolling average of historical load information for the radio access node;
• determining, based on geographic movement of the mobile device, that the mobile device is transitioning between an additional radio access node and the radio access node, wherein the time span is identified based on the transitioning of the mobile device;
• determining a margin by which the predicted load level exceeds the threshold load level;
• based on the margin, determining an amount of a delay when transmitting a packet included in a data stream between the mobile device and a domain device;
• and
• transmitting subsequent packets included in the data stream.
