System and method for operating a wireless communication system to process packet payloads to determine RF signal adjustments

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a base station configured to exchange data packets for an application with a wireless device of a user;
• a packet inspection system configured to inspect the data packets including their payloads to determine:
• a user indicator for the user, an application indicator for the application, a geographic location for the wireless device, and a data rate for the data packets;
• the packet inspection system further configured to process the user indicator, the application indicator, the geographic location, and the data rate to determine an RF signal adjustment for the base station and to transfer an adjustment notification indicating the RF signal adjustment to the base station;
• the base station further configured to receive the adjustment notification, and in response, implement the RF signal adjustment.
