Abstract
A method and system is provided by which packets received from or destined for devices served by a bidirectional signal transceiver such as a distributed antenna system (DAS) (or “headend”) by means of a connected Long-Term Evolution (LTE) eNodeB are serviced and routed locally rather than being placed arbitrarily on a Wide Area Network (WAN). The physical path length of the connections between the signal transceiver, eNodeB and primary router, and primary router and Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and primary router and secondary router is fundamental to the invention.

A system for local data communication traffic management, comprising:
- (a) an off-WAN eNodeB communicatively connected to a proximate transceiver capable of conveying communications to and from the eNodeB;
- (b) an off-WAN Evolved Packet Core (EPC);
- and
- (c) a router operable in an off-WAN mode and communicatively connected to the eNodeB and the EPC, and wherein the router is physically located as an intermediary between the eNodeB and the EPC,
- wherein the router is configured at the output of the eNodeB to selectively determine which data packets stay off-WAN, and
- wherein the EPC serves the data packets from the eNodeB via the router in an off-WAN mode.
A method for local data communication traffic management, comprising:
- (a) receiving data packets from one or more signal distribution, transceiver systems or a distributed antenna system, wherein the data packets are received by an off-WAN operable eNodeB;
- (b) configuring an off-WAN operable router at the output of the eNodeB, wherein the router ensures that the data packets stay off-WAN;
- and
- (c) serving the received data packets off-WAN via the router by an off-WAN operable Evolved Packet Core (EPC),
- wherein a transmission pathway for the local data communication is less than 30 meters and delays of packets in the communications are less than 150 milliseconds.
