SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA NETWORK REASSIGNMENT
First Claim
1. A method for managing data resource utilization in a wireless network environment comprising a first data network and a second data network, the method comprising:
- monitoring data usage over the first data network;
determining that the data usage over the first data network satisfies a specified criterion; and
in response to the determining step, administratively disconnecting a wireless network subscriber from the first data network so as to cause a subsequent data session of the wireless network subscriber to be reassigned to the second data network.

Abstract
Managing data resource utilization in a wireless network environment comprising a first data network and a second data network is described herein. The described management infrastructure and method incorporates monitoring data usage of a wireless network subscriber over the first data network, determining that the data usage over the first data network meets a specified threshold, and, in response to the determination that usage has reached the specified threshold, administratively disconnecting the wireless network subscriber from the first data network so as to cause a data session of the wireless network subscriber to be reassigned to the second data network.

12. A system for managing data resource utilization in a wireless network environment, the system comprising:
-
a first data network; a second data network communicatively coupled to the first data network in the wireless network environment; and a rating engine configured to monitor data usage over the first data network and, upon determining that the data usage over the first data network satisfies a specified criterion, cause a wireless network subscriber to be administratively disconnected from the first data network so as to further cause a subsequent data session of the wireless network subscriber to be reassigned to the second data network. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
