Abstract: A mobile communications system includes a transceiver and a packet subsystem server of a mobile communications network for the transceiver. The transceiver can transceive wireless signals with mobile devices in a coverage area using wireless connections to exchange data with application servers. For each wireless connection the packet subsystem server can determine weighted scores using different weights for each of direct radio measures, a packet retransmission rate of the mobile communications network, and a throughput data rate. The packet subsystem server can determine an aggregated score from the weighted scores and determine a data-rate-control decision for the wireless connection using the aggregated score. The data-rate-control decision can be outputted to a packet core handling system of the mobile communications network for controlling the data rate of data transmitted using the wireless connection.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to associate a mobile device with a panelist profile. An example method includes initializing a metering application on the mobile device to operate with partial functionality, parsing a message log with the metering application to identify an installation message, extracting a telephone number from the installation message and saving to a memory of the mobile device, sending an initialization message based on the extracted telephone number to prompt an authorization message, and enabling full functionality of the metering application in response to receiving the authorization message.
