1. A method for offloading one or more data packets, the method comprising:

  • predicting, by the one or more hardware processors at a first time point, values of one or more first performance parameters of a first radio access network at a second time point, the prediction being based on past actual values of the one or more performance parameters;

    triggering, by the one or more hardware processors before the second time point, offloading of one or more data packets from the first radio access network to a second radio access network, based on a determination that the predicted values exceed one or more first predetermined thresholds and that the offloading from the first radio access network to the second radio access network is enabled;

    obtaining, by the one or more hardware processors, actual values of the one or more performance parameters at the second time point;

    comparing, by the one or more hardware processors, the actual values against the predicted values;

    adjusting, by the one or more hardware processors, a penalty parameter based on a result of the comparison;

    responsive to determining that the adjusted penalty parameter exceeds a second predetermined threshold, disabling, by the one or more hardware processors, the offloading from the first radio access network to the second radio access network.
