Techniques for evaluation and improvement of user experience for applications in mobile wireless networks

An article comprising a computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that when executed by a processor enable a system to:

• receive traffic characteristic prioritization information;
• send the traffic characteristic prioritization information to one or more applications;
• receive traffic characteristic parameters from the one or more applications;
• and
• send a request to create a service flow or modify an existing service flow, wherein a priority for the service flow is determined based on the traffic characteristic parameters and the traffic characteristic prioritization information.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• sending traffic characteristic prioritization information from a base station to a mobile station;
• receiving a request from the mobile station to create a service flow or modify an existing service flow based on traffic characteristic parameters from one or more applications of the mobile station;
• and
• sending a prioritization value for the service flow from the base station to the mobile station based on the traffic characteristic parameters and the traffic characteristic prioritization information.
