System and Method for Traffic Offload

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure generally relate to a system and method for traffic offload from a first access technology to a second access technology. For example, packets originally destined for transmission over a bearer channel associated with Long Term Evaluation (LTE) can be offloaded to a Wi-FI bearer channel in a seamless manner when available, or a non-seamless manner.
