Optimizing capacity expansion in mobile networks

摘要

A system and method for optimizing the capacity of network devices in a mobile network. The computing device receives a user ID and a user attribute, the user ID corresponding to a characteristic of the mobile network user, and the user attribute corresponding to at least one characteristic of mobile network usage by the mobile network user. The computing device generates a usage prediction based on the user ID and user attributes. The usage forecast includes information corresponding to the expected future data usage of the mobile network user, and the expected future mobile network usage corresponds to at least one mobile resource. The computing device may cause the serving gateway (SGW) to route the mobile network user to one of the old packet data network gateway (PGW) and network function virtualization (NFV) PGW based on the usage forecast. Send the usage prediction to the SGW.
