System and method for hybrid routing in 5G networks

A method (1000) for enabling hybrid routing in a network, the method (1000) comprising the steps of:

• collecting (1002), at a controller in communication with one or more public land mobile network (PLMN) clusters associated with the network, a plurality of requests, from multiple source node devices, to be transmitted to the terminus node device;
• determining (1004), at the controller, a source node device, for each of the plurality of requests, along with a correspondingly pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster and secondary PLMN cluster among the one or more PLMN clusters;
• determining (1006), at the controller, status of each end point of the pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster;
• and
• routing (1008), when the status of each end point of the pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster is determined to be inactive, the request through the pre-mapped secondary PLMN cluster for transmitting it to at least one of the one or more terminus node device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising machine executable instructions that are executable by a processor to:

• collect, from multiple source node devices in communication with the controller, a plurality of requests to be transmitted to the terminus node device;
• determine, for each of the plurality of requests, a source node device along with a correspondingly pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster and secondary PLMN cluster among the one or more PLMN clusters;
• determine status of each end point of the pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster;
• and
• route, when the status of each end point of the pre-mapped primary PLMN cluster is determined to be inactive, the request through the pre-mapped secondary PLMN cluster for transmitting it to the terminus node device.
