Abstract: The present invention refers to an apparatus for controlling data traffic in a cell of a cellular network wherein the apparatus comprises means for determining the data rate of an ongoing data session established between a first client device located in a cell and a network device wherein said data session is used for receiving streaming data, means for determining the data rate of an ongoing data session established between a second client device located in the same cell and a network device wherein said data session is used for receiving non streaming data, means for determining a Quality of Experience of the data stream of the first client device and means for adjusting the data rate of the first and/or second client device if the determined Quality of Experience of said data stream of the first client device is lower than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for network load shaping in a mobile radio network classifies data packets in a packet data stream according to a leaky bucket classification system and optionally delays the data packets in a network device within the mobile radio core network, in order to smooth burst and hence to reduce loss probabilities and the occurrence of delays in the forwarding of data packets from a data source, over the mobile radio network, to a mobile radio terminal in a simple and economical manner.
