Abstract:
Techniques described herein may be used to identify communication sessions (e.g., voice calls, video calls, etc.) that can be routed using local network resources, such as a base station to which the user devices are attached, and cause routing responsibilities for the session to be offloaded to the local network resources. Doing so may conserve network resources by alleviating the core network from having to support communication sessions that do not need to be routed through the core network. In turn, this may reduce the potential for network latency since: 1) core network resources will be more available to support sessions that actually need to be routed through the core network; and 2) sessions that do not need to be routed through the core network can be routed over shorter distances that involve fewer network devices (e.g., a based station).
