Method and Apparatus for Using a Local Area Network to Offload Demand of a Wide Area Network

摘要

A method includes receiving, at a first computing device, first data associated with a performance indicator of a wireless wide area network for a first time period. The method also includes determining, at the first computing device, whether the performance indicator satisfies a performance threshold. The method further includes, based on determining that the performance indicator does not satisfy the performance threshold, offloading one or more communication devices from the wireless wide area network so that the performance indicator satisfies the performance threshold. The method finally includes sending a first instruction to a second computing device. The second computing device enables one or more access points to provide mobile communication services to the one or more communication devices.

1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a first computing device, first data associated with a performance indicator of a wireless wide area network for a first time period; determining, at the first computing device, whether the performance indicator satisfies a performance threshold; based on determining that the performance indicator does not satisfy the performance threshold, offloading a first communication device from the wireless wide area network; and sending a first instruction to a second computing device, wherein, in response to the first instruction, the second computing device enables a first access point to provide mobile communication services to the first communication device, wherein the first access point supports a first wireless local area network.
