Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A computer method for analyzing performance of a 5th generation (5G) communication network for determining 4th generation (4G) traffic offload characteristics, comprising:
determining relative spectrum efficiency for data downlinks and uplinks in the 5G communication network;
determining values for pairs of 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) primary cells and 5G New Radio (NR) primary cells;
generating a heatmap utilizing the determined values for depicting 4G traffic offload characteristics in a 5G communication network, wherein the generated heatmap includes a generated line depicting a connection between a LTE Primary Cell (PCell) to a 5G NR Secondary Cell (PScell) wherein a width of the generated line is scaled relative to a determined percentage of 5G utilized traffic in the 5G communication system; and
causing the generated heatmap to be displayed on a user device.
