Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in which a traffic flow control service is provided. The traffic flow control service provides that a wireless station of a wireless access network stores radio coverage information relating to communication links established with end devices. During various network procedures that establish or migrate a traffic flow session with an end device, the wireless station receives a profile from a policy control device. The profile includes radio coverage information and traffic flow parameters and values that correlate to the radio coverage information. The wireless station compares the stored radio coverage information with the radio coverage information in the profile, and selects the best match. The wireless station uses the traffic flow parameters and values to enforce a traffic flow relating to the end device.
