1. In a mobile telecommunications network in which a plurality of mobile stations communicate through a radio access network (RAN) through a network having at least one Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and at least one Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) through the Internet to a plurality of servers, a system for the automatic optimization of traffic comprising:

  • one or more Gb probes for extracting information from an interface between the RAN and the SGSN including the identity of each user associated with a specific data flow;

    a network management system (NMS) for providing congestion and traffic information from the RAN;

    one or more IP probes for providing information regarding quantities and types of IP traffic and delays between the mobile stations and the interface;

    a customer database for providing information regarding the type and quality of service for each user of a mobile station;

    a policy decision point for automatic generation of policy actions to optimize traffic for each data flow on a cell-by-cell basis, said policy decision point using a finite state machine working in conjunction with an n-dimensional traffic model and information from the Gb probes, the NMS and the customer database to determine said policy actions; and

    ,a traffic optimizer for implementing the policy actions determined by the policy decision point.
