The granted patent US12052177B1 outlines a method for managing packet data traffic in a hybrid access network, which includes hybrid access customer premises equipment (HCPE) and a hybrid access gateway (HAG). The method involves a hybrid access configuration function (HACF) that receives performance information for a first access link associated with a specific broadband access technology. Upon detecting a performance threshold violation that affects packet data traffic, the HACF computes distribution parameters to redistribute traffic from the first access link to a second access link operating under a different broadband technology. The HACF then outputs these parameters to a controller responsible for reconfiguring access devices, such as a radio access network (RAN) controller or an optical line termination (OLT) controller, to facilitate the traffic redistribution.

Additionally, the patent specifies that the HACF can receive performance information from either the HCPE or the HAG and can compute distribution parameters based on both the first and second access link performance data. The method also includes provisions for ensuring that the reconfiguration meets Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, particularly for network slices in 5G mobile networks. The HACF can further compute the capacity of access network devices to ensure they can handle the traffic effectively. Overall, the patent presents a systematic approach to optimizing packet data traffic management in hybrid access networks, enhancing performance and reliability.
