System and method for dynamically switching transmission of data from cellular to unidirectional point-to-multipoint network

A system for dynamically switching transmission of selected data from a cellular core network to a unidirectional point-to-multipoint downlink network or from the unidirectional point-to-multipoint downlink network to the cellular core network based on an analysis result, the system comprising:

• a cellular packet core that controls a cellular radio access network (RAN) for providing a bidirectional connectivity to a converged user equipment (UE) to transmit or receive the selected data through the cellular packet core and the cellular radio access network (RAN);
• a Broadcast offload packet core (BO-PC) that controls a broadcast radio access network (RAN), wherein the broadcast radio access network (RAN) comprises at least one Broadcast Radio Head (BRH) for providing a unidirectional downlink path to the converged user equipment (UE) to receive the selected data through the at least one Broadcast Radio Head (BRH), wherein the Broadcast Offload-Packet Core (BO-PC) comprises an analytics engine that is configured to
• gather traffic flow data from at least one of (i) the cellular packet core, or (ii) the converged user equipment (UE) to generate an input;
• and
• gather a set of metrics from at least one of (i) the cellular packet core, or (ii) the cellular radio access network (RAN) to generate the analysis result by analyzing the set of metrics;
• a load manager that is configured to
• monitor a nature of service required by the converged user equipment (UE)
• control the traffic flow through at least one of the (i) a cellular network or (ii) the unidirectional downlink path based on the analysis result generated by the analytics engine,
• switch services required by the converged user equipment (UE) from the cellular packet core to the broadcast offload packet core or from the broadcast offload packet core to the cellular packet core based on the input provided by the analytics engine, and
• decide whether to dynamically switch the transmission of the selected data from at least one of (i) a downlink traffic of the cellular packet core to a downlink of the Broadcast Offload Packet Core (BO-PC) or (ii) the unidirectional downlink of the Broadcast Offload Packet Core (BO-PC) to the downlink traffic of the cellular packet core based on the analysis result generated by the analytics engine.
