Abstract

A wireless router having a WiFi wireless network and including a small cell for routing LTE cellular data to a mobile network core is configured to monitor connected mobile devices and determine whether each mobile device should be connect to the hub using WiFi or LTE in accordance with the current utilization of the WiFi network and the current utilization of the LTE small cell. Since the small cell data traffic transmitted in a data tunnel to the mobile network core is accessible to the monitor, the network identity information of the device's WiFi interface and the device's LTE interface can be determined by consulting an address mapping store in the cellular mobile network core. Furthermore presence information can be determined by detecting connection and disconnection messages between the mobile device and cellular network core.
