System and method for grant assignment

A method for generating a bulk grant of a second network to accommodate data of a first network, comprising:

• receiving, over the first network, a first buffer status report (BSR) and second BSR from a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE, respectively, the first and second BSR describing a first and a second UE data ready for transmission to a first network core;
• processing the first and second BSRs;
• generating a bulk request for transmission over the second network based on the first and second BSRs;
• transmitting the bulk request to a modem termination unit (MTS) on the second network;
• generating a first network grant for the first UE data and a first network grant for the second UE data;
• transmitting the first network grant for the first UE data and the first network grant for the second UE data;
• receiving a second network bulk grant from the MTS over the second network;
• receiving the first UE data and the second UE data over the first network;
• and
• processing the first UE data, the second UE data, and the second network bulk grant to prepare at least a portion of the first UE data and the second UE data from transmission over the second network to the first network core.
