According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for generating a policy event record (PER). The method includes receiving one or more policy event attributes (PEAs) and using the received PEAs to select one or more policy definitions that are associated with a communication session. The method also includes analyzing the selected one or more policy definitions and initiating one or more associated policy actions. The method further includes generating a policy event record that includes information that identifies the one or more selected policy definitions.

A system for congestion control in a mobile communications network includes a monitoring module configured to monitor message traffic associated with a cell in a mobile communications network. The message traffic includes control plane and user plane messages. The monitoring module determines, based on the message traffic, whether a predetermined congestion threshold associated with the cell in the mobile communications network has been crossed. In response to the threshold being crossed, the monitoring module generates a cell congestion notification message that includes the identity of subscribers that are contributing to the congestion. A policy server receives the cell congestion notification message and generates a PCC rule that modifies the policy of the one or more identified subscribers and for communicating the PCC rule to a PCEF.

Methods, systems, and computer readable media for mobile communication device-initiated network monitoring services are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method for monitoring communications in a mobile networking environment by a core network probe-based monitoring system includes detecting, by an agent residing on a mobile communication device, a quality of service or customer experience triggering event; responding to the event by generating a message which includes information about that particular subscriber or device; and, transmitting that message to the network monitoring system to automatically trigger the monitoring system to monitor communications involving that mobile communication device.
