  • Patent number: 12389274
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for alleviating congestion of data traffic in a wireless network in a cell site. The methods determine congestion levels for respective data connections from mobile computing devices to a network through a cell tower in a cell site. The method further determines a congestion level associated with the cell site based on a weighted aggregate of varying congestion levels associated with the respective data connections in the cell site. The disclosed technology includes flow policies associated with congestion levels. The flow policies determine weights used for determining the weighted aggregate and maximum network bandwidth enforced for the respective data connections.
