A system for offloading traffic from a cellular network to a broadcast network is provided. The offloading mechanism caters to both unicast and broadcast traffic. The system includes a converged cellular core network, World Wide Web, a CDN, a Broadcast Offload Packet Core (BO-PC), a cellular base station, a Broadcast Radio Head, and a converged UE. The converged cellular core network includes an enhanced packet core, a policy rules engine and a packet inspection and steering unit. The BO-PC includes a Broadcast Proxy, a subscriber database, a Broadcast Offload Service Center, a Broadcast Offload Gateway and an analytics engine. For offloading the unicast traffic, the packet inspection and steering unit identifies sessions that are offloaded for supporting offload of the traffic from the converged cellular core network to the broadcast network.

A system and method for dynamically switching transmission of selected data from cellular core network to unidirectional point-to-multipoint downlink network or from unidirectional point-to-multipoint downlink network to cellular core network based on traffic flow analysis is provided. The system includes a cellular packet core, a broadcast offload packet core (BO-PC), and a load manager. The cellular packet corecontrols a cellular radio access network (RAN)for providing bidirectional connectivity to a converged user equipment (UE) () to transmit or receive selected data through the cellular packet coreand the RAN. The BO-PCcontrols a broadcast radio access network (RAN). The broadcast radio access network (RAN) includes at least one Broadcast Radio Head (BRH)for providing unidirectional downlink path to the converged user equipment (UE)to receive selected data through the at least one Broadcast Radio Heads (BRH)
