Abstract
There is described an apparatus for a base station in a radio access network. The apparatus is configured to detect a change in a radio network congestion status associated with a cell or cell sector of the base station that is being used to serve a mobile device, the change being a change to a given one of a plurality of possible radio congestion levels. The apparatus starts a packet modification process to modify one or more packets in each of one or more uplink data flows from the mobile device to a core network of the radio access network, the one or more packets in each of the one or more uplink data flows being modified by the packet modification process to signal, to a server in the core network, the change in congestion status to the given one of the plurality of possible radio congestion levels.
