Offloading traffic from cellular to broadcast network
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11963042B1) discloses a system and method for offloading traffic from a cellular network to a broadcast network. The system includes a converged cellular core network with a packet inspection and steering unit that monitors traffic to identify commonly consumed content streams for offloading. By determining if the content is consumed over unicast and if there is adequate coverage and spare capacity in a broadcast network, the system efficiently offloads broadcast traffic based on signals from an analytics engine. This process helps reduce overall bandwidth requirements by transferring content to multiple User Equipment (UE) within the coverage area.
Moreover, the system allows for the offloading of unicast traffic to the broadcast network as a supplementary downlink service if UEs do not receive the content stream. It also includes mechanisms to shift traffic back to the cellular network if necessary and implements rules stored in a Policy Rules Engine for efficient offloading. The system utilizes an analytics engine to gather traffic flow data and location information from the cellular network and UEs, enabling effective management and optimization of traffic flow. Additionally, the system incorporates a converged Radio Access Network (RAN) with ORAN-based components for enhanced performance and efficiency in offloading traffic between networks. Overall, the patented system and method offer a comprehensive solution for optimizing traffic offloading from cellular to broadcast networks, improving network efficiency and user experience.
