Abstract
A method, information processing system, and wireless communication system that selects a set of network paths for transmitting data to a serving network. The method first determines (404) that there is data to transmit to the serving network (102). For each of a plurality of base stations (106, 107, 108), an assessment of at least one traffic engineering parameter associated with each of the base stations (106, 107, 108) is performed (406). A set of base stations in which the traffic engineering parameters satisfy predetermined communication criteria associated with the wireless device (104) is selected (408) in response to performing the assessment. The selected set of base stations is used to transmit wireless device data to the serving network.
