A method for determining offload suitability in a cellular network (100; 200), the method comprising: receiving, by a base station of the cellular network (100; 200) and from a mobile device (120; 204; 206), location information associated with the mobile device (120; 204; 206), wherein the location information comprises a velocity vector including (i) location data indicating a current location of the mobile device, (ii) speed data indicating a current speed of the mobile device and ( iii) movement direction data indicating a current direction of movement of the mobile device; determining, by the base station, a location of the mobile device (120; 204, 206) based on the location information; predicting, by the base station, based on the determined location, the current speed and the current direction of movement, at least one of ( i) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206) will enter a geographic area associated with an offload alternative connection point within a first predetermined period of time, and (ii) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206) will remain in the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point for a second predetermined period of time; and determining, by the base station, whether the [[an]] offload alternative connection point is suitable for offloading the mobile device based on at least one of ( i) the prediction that the mobile device (120; 204; 206), will enter the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point within a first predetermined period of time, and (ii) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206), will remain in the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point for a second predetermined period of time. receiving, by a base station of the cellular network (100; 200) and from a mobile device (120; 204; 206), location information associated with the mobile device (120; 204; 206), wherein the location information comprises a velocity vector including (i) location data indicating a current location of the mobile device, (ii) speed data indicating a current speed of the mobile device and ( iii) movement direction data indicating a current direction of movement of the mobile device; determining, by the base station, a location of the mobile device (120; 204, 206) based on the location information; predicting, by the base station, based on the determined location, the current speed and the current direction of movement, at least one of ( i) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206) will enter a geographic area associated with an offload alternative connection point within a first predetermined period of time, and (ii) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206) will remain in the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point for a second predetermined period of time; and determining, by the base station, whether the [[an]] offload alternative connection point is suitable for offloading the mobile device based on at least one of ( i) the prediction that the mobile device (120; 204; 206), will enter the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point within a first predetermined period of time, and (ii) that the mobile device (120; 204; 206), will remain in the geographic area associated with the offload alternative connection point for a second predetermined period of time.
