Method and system for managing mobile network congestion

Abstract

A method for managing mobile network congestion including: determining cell metrics over a predetermined time interval for each cell of a plurality of cells; determining correlations between the cell metrics for each cell; determining whether any cell of the plurality of cell are congestion based on the correlations; determining a type of congestion for any cell determined to be congested; and determining traffic actions based on the type of congestion. A system for managing mobile network congestion having: a collection module configured to determine cell metrics over a predetermined time interval for each cell of a plurality of cells; a correlation module configured to determine correlations between the cell metrics; an analysis module configured to determine whether any cell is congestion based on the correlations and a type of congestion for any cell determined to be congested; and a traffic action module configured to determine traffic actions.
