Method and system for carrying data, voice and video across an internet protocol based wireless telecommunications network

A method of relieving Internet Protocol based network (IP network) congestion between a base station interface and a public network interface, comprising the steps of:

• gathering data associated with a first subnet and a second subnet utilizing an operations and maintenance node;
• analyzing the date in order to select either the first subnet or the second subnet as a preferred subnet;
• introducing a data stream onto the first subnet and directing a remainder of the data stream onto the second subnet;
• and
• directing traffic between the base station interface and the public network interface via the preferred subnet.

A system for controlling signal traffic over multiple subnets, said system comprising:

• at least two subnets;
• an operation and maintenance interface coupled to said subnets for gathering traffic data associated with said at least two subnets of multiple subnets;
• a base station interface coupled between a wireless network and said at least two subnets of said multiple subnets;
• an IP network coupled between said at least two subnets of said multiple subnets and a public network;
• and
• a system control interface coupled to said operation and maintenance interface for analyzing the traffic data to determine which of said subnets provide the most appropriate connection for transmitting the traffic between the wireless network and the public network or other network for achieving a desired amount of traffic distribution over said subnets.
