Abstract
Solutions for early cellular offloading include: receiving, at a node of a wireless network, from a user equipment (UE), a first message (e.g., an A3, A5, B1, or B2 event report) containing information regarding a serving cell of a first wireless technology generation and information regarding a neighbor cell of the first wireless technology generation (e.g., reference signal receive power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) measurement for fifth generation cellular technology (5G)); determining that a handover to the neighbor cell will not be performed; and based on at least the information regarding the serving cell and determining that the handover to the neighbor cell will not be performed, triggering an offload from the serving cell to a cell of a second wireless technology generation (e.g., fourth generation cellular technology (4G)).
