1. A method for managing a wireless network traffic comprising:

  • designating a first resource block of a first base station for access by a random access channel (RACH);

    designating a first plurality of random access subframes associated with the first resource block for access by a user-over-control plane message;

    receiving a random access signal from a concentrator that collects the random access signal from an endpoint;

    forwarding the random access signal to the first base station over a random access subframe, the random access signal received on the RACH using the wireless network, the random access signal attempting to access one of the first plurality of designated random access subframes;

    determining if the random access signal is the user-over-control plane message;

    in response to determining the random access signal is the user-over-control plane message, processing the random access signal on the one of the first plurality of designated random access subframes;

    receiving the random access signal from a concentrator that collects the random access signal from an endpoint at a second base station;

    designating a second resource block of the second base station for access by the RACH, the second resource block corresponding to the first resource block of the first base station; and

    designating a second plurality of random access subframes associated with the second resource block for access by the user-over-control plane message, the second plurality of random access subframes corresponding to the first plurality of random access subframes.
