Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising: offloading a transmission of an amount of data between a cell site and a core network from a cellular network to an alternative relay network for a predetermined time interval; calculating a blocking probability for the alternative relay network based on quality of service metrics of the alternative relay network; reducing the amount of data to be offloaded in a subsequent time interval by a decrement amount to produce an adjusted amount of data in response to determining that the blocking probability exceeds a threshold; and increasing the amount of data to be offloaded in a subsequent time interval by a an increment amount to produce the adjusted amount of data in response to determining that the blocking probability does not exceed the threshold, wherein the offloading includes transmitting the amount of data between a first transceiver of the cell site and a second transceiver of the alternative relay network via a wireless link.
