Abstract
Techniques for data offload using various distributed network architectures are disclosed. In some embodiments, wireless communications, specifically, system architectures and their implementation of distributed network architectures that can be used to effectively offload the data from the centralized cellular core networks are disclosed. For example, techniques for data offload using a distributed network architecture can be applied to heterogeneous networks (HetNet) that can include macrocells, picocells, femtocells, remote radio heads, and/or access points, and in one or more layers. These techniques can also be applied within so-called cloud-Radio Access Networks (cloud-RAN) networks.
