A data communication system configured to determine and coordinate loading in a mobile network with plurality of client devices. The system includes a control server coupled the client devices. The control server has a probe control function that transmits a downlink (DL) probe with an updated client probing profile to each client device. The client device has a client probing control engine that gathers network measurement information for transmission to the control server and generates uplink (UL) probes containing the network measurement information including, radio access network (RAN) metrics, DL probe measurements for transmission to the control server based on the client probing profile. The control server receives the UL probes from the client devices and determines the system load based on the measurement information, the control server updates client scheduling information based on the system load and transmits the client scheduling information to the plurality of client devices.
