Abstract: Techniques for reconfiguring mobile networks based on network state information are provided. In one aspect, a method for managing a mobile network is provided. The method includes the steps of: gathering network state information from an edge of the mobile network, wherein the edge of the mobile network includes a radio network and a cellular network through which user equipment communicate with an internet protocol (IP) network which is at a core of the mobile network; analyzing the network state information based on policy controls to determine actions for optimizing the mobile network; and reconfiguring the mobile network using the actions for optimizing the mobile network. A system for managing a mobile network is also provided.

Abstract: Techniques for improving real-time communications over a mobile network are provided. In one aspect, a method for managing data transfer in a mobile network wherein user equipment transmit data through one or more cell towers is provided. The method includes the steps of: intercepting data packets from the user equipment; determining a location of a given one of the cell towers in the mobile network to which the data packets are to be sent; and tunneling the data packets directly to the given cell tower. A system for managing data transfer in a mobile network wherein user equipment transmit data through one or more cell towers is also provided.
