Systems and methods for allocating bandwidth between a pair of coupled bandwidth resources

A system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the system to:
• establish a connection to a wireless device on a cellular network;
• allocate bandwidth between a pair of coupled bandwidth resources for the wireless device,
• wherein the pair of coupled bandwidth resources contains a first bandwidth resource and a second bandwidth resource,
• wherein the first bandwidth resource is allocated relative to the second bandwidth resource, and
• wherein there is a fixed amount of bandwidth allocated to the pair of coupled bandwidth resources for the wireless device;
• determine, based on usage of at least the wireless device and at least one key performance indicator (KPI) of a set of wireless devices, cellular network usage for a geographic area;
• calculate a usage trend over a predetermined time period based on the cellular network usage;
• and
• based on the calculated usage trend:
• adjust the allocation of bandwidth of the first bandwidth resource for the wireless device based on the usage trend,
• wherein the first bandwidth resource is prioritized over the second bandwidth resource by reducing an amount of bandwidth allocated to the second bandwidth resource and proportionally increasing an amount of bandwidth allocated to the first bandwidth resource;
• and
• readjust the allocation of bandwidth of the first bandwidth resource for the wireless device based on an update to the usage trend,
• wherein the first bandwidth resource is deprioritized over the second bandwidth resource by increasing the amount of bandwidth allocated to the second bandwidth resource and proportionally reducing the amount of bandwidth allocated to the first bandwidth resource.
