Abstract
A wireless communication network serves User Equipment (UE) over a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) access node and a Long Term Evolution (LTE) access node. The LTE access node determines a utilization metric for the LTE access node and selects 5GNR/LTE allocations based on the utilization metric for the LTE access node. The LTE access node receives user data for the UE and transfers a portion of the user data to the 5GNR access node per the 5GNR/LTE allocations. The LTE access node transfers the remainder of the user data to the UE over an LTE link per the 5GNR/LTE allocations. The 5GNR access node receives the portion of the user data and transfers the portion of the user data to the UE over a 5GNR link per the 5GNR/LTE allocations.
