Various embodiments are generally directed to improved techniques for UPCON mitigation. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (eNB) may comprise a processor circuit, a detection component for execution by the processor circuit to detect user plane congestion between an evolved universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) and a serving gateway (S-GW) of an evolved packet core (EPC), and a configuration component for execution by the processor circuit to select a set of user equipment (UEs) served by the E-UTRAN and the S-GW and send a request to utilize an alternate S-GW of the EPC to serve the set of UEs while maintaining a current packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW) for the set of UEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
