Patent ID: 8565150

Claim:
A system, comprising: a memory to store instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the instructions to perform operations, comprising: based on time-dependent traffic projection data, determining a first portion of data received at a serving support node device of a first communication network in accordance with first percentage data and determining a second portion of the data in accordance with second percentage data, directing the first portion of the data to a first packet data network gateway device that is deployed at a parent node device of a hierarchically defined second communication network, directing the second portion of the data to a second packet data network gateway device that is deployed at a child node device of the hierarchically defined second communication network, without transmitting user plane data associated with the second portion of the data to the first packet data network gateway device, and in response to determining an expiration of a defined time period has occurred, updating the time-dependent traffic projection data to adjust the second percentage data, wherein adjustment of the second percentage data facilitates an increase in the second portion of data.
