Abstract
Adaptive traffic shaping techniques, apparatuses, and systems can include obtaining information that associates mobile devices with wireless network areas handling wireless communications with the mobile devices and influencing data flow transmissions to the mobile devices associated with the wireless network areas based at least on the obtained information. Adaptive traffic shaping can include determining loading factors for the wireless network areas based on the associations. Techniques, apparatuses, and systems can control data flows to the mobile devices based on associated loading factors.
Claims28
A system comprising:
- base stations that provide wireless communication coverage in wireless network areas to mobile devices;
- a monitoring module to obtain signaling messages corresponding to one or more of the base stations and produce associations between the wireless network areas and the mobile devices based on the signaling messages;
- and
- a traffic shaping module in communication with the monitoring module to receive the associations, determine loading factors for the wireless network areas based on the associations, and control data flows to the mobile devices associated with the wireless network areas based at least on respective loading factors.
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface to receive signaling messages corresponding to one or more base stations that provide wireless communication coverage in wireless network areas to mobile devices;
- and
- a monitoring module to process the signaling messages, produce associations between the wireless network areas and the mobile devices based on the signaling messages, and communicate the associations to control traffic shaping based on the associations.
A method for adaptive traffic shaping, the method comprising:
- obtaining information that associates mobile devices with wireless network areas handling wireless communications with the mobile devices, wherein obtaining the information comprises receiving signaling messages associated with the mobile devices;
- and
- influencing data flow transmissions to the mobile devices associated with the wireless network areas based at least on the obtained information.
