System and method for categorizing and routing network traffic associated with user equipments

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system [100] and method [300] for categorizing and routing network traffic associated with at least one piece of user equipment [102]. More particularly, the embodiments may disclose a method for providing at least two wireless networks [1A / 1B / 2A / 2B]; establishing a connection between the at least one user equipment [102] and one of the at least twowireless networks [1A / 1B / 2A / 2B]; receiving the network traffic from the at least one user equipment [102] through one of the at least two wireless networks [1A / 1B / 2A / 2B]; categorizing the network traffic received from the at least one user equipment [102] based on a unique service set identifier of one of the at least two wireless networks [1A / 1B / 2A / 2B]; and routing the network traffic from the routing device [104] to a corresponding gateway [108] based on the categorization.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate generally to wireless communications. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for classifying and routing network traffic associated with at least one user device. Background technique [0002] This section is intended to provide information relevant to the general state of the art, therefore, any method / function described below should not be admitted to be prior art merely by its inclusion in this section. [0003] In a traditional cellular deployment, appropriately powered macro base stations are being deployed to cover a large enough area to provide cellular network / coverage. However, because only the macro base station is deployed, as the number of user equipments operating within the coverage area of ​​the macro base station increases, the problem of rapid capacity decline usually occurs. In addition, macro base stations provide good coverage and strong signal strength in outd...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Currently, it has been technically challenging to provide multiple unique identifiers associated with Wi-Fi access points connected to a LAN in a broadband connection in order to serve a large number of users, and it is difficult to control bandwidth based on unique identifiers

Further, offload / route service or network traffic associated with multiple user devices from cellular network to trusted public / private Wi-Fi access over LAN with fiber backhaul without compromising user experience Dots are also difficult and vice versa

Additionally, it has been difficult to categorize multiple users based on multiple unique identifiers with different subscription plans

Link public unique identifiers for trusted public Wi-Fi access points and private unique identifiers for trusted private Wi-Fi access points that have different subscription plans for their respective service consumption with their respective data / voice It is also difficult to plan to isolate packets or speeds without affecting the host / owner / promoter of the service
