1. A system for managing communications network congestion, comprising:

  • a radio access network (RAN) interface configured to receive RAN congestion indicators;

    a congestion correlator module configured to correlate RAN congestion indicators to service congestion indicators;

    a database comprising a set of congestion based policy rules, wherein the congestion-based policy rules establish control responses based on at least one or more service congestion indicator;

    a policy controller module configured to apply the congestion-based policy rules to achieve a policy decision; and

    a policy enforcement control point interface configured to transmit network control instructions to enforce the policy decisions.
