SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK PERFORMANCE USING VIDEO SESSION DATA

Abstract:

A method for assessing and improving network performance using video session data. Control plane signaling data comprising geographic location data from network monitoring equipment connected to a communications network is collected. Video session data comprising data of a plurality of video sessions from video monitoring equipment connected to the communications network is collected. The plurality of video sessions are associated with a plurality of mobile devices streaming videos on the respective mobile device across the communications network. The video session data and control plane signaling data within a cell of the communications network is correlated. The correlated data is provided to a communications network provider. The communications network is reorganized according to the correlated data.
