Techniques for allocating resources for communication in a communication network are disclosed. In one particular embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for allocating resources for communication in a communication network comprising receiving a request for a session associated with a mobile device from a mobility management device, wherein the request comprises a group identifier identifying a group of communication sessions in which the requested session is a member; receiving the service plan associated with the group of communication sessions; allocating shared resources to the group of communication sessions in accordance with the service plan; and sending a response to the mobility management device, indicating that the requested session has been established for the mobile device.

The present disclosure is directed at systems, methods and media for relieving RAN congestion in a core network. In some embodiments, RAN congestion information is reported from user equipment to a packet data gateway (PGW) through an eNodeB and a software gateway. The PGW can aggregate the RAN congestion information and periodically notify other network nodes, for example, a PCRF, about the aggregate congestion in a network. By aggregating RAN congestion information, the PGW can substantially reduce the signaling required to report RAN congestion in the core network.
