METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DATA OFFLOADING IN A HETEROGENEOUS WIRELESS NETWORK

The various embodiments herein provide a method and system for providing data offloading in a heterogeneous wireless network. The method comprises of receiving the UE assistance data transmitted from a user equipment at a heterogeneous network, determining the priority of the UE from the UE assistance data and redirecting at least one UE from a heterogeneous network cell to a macro cell based on the identified priority of the UE. The UE assistance data herein comprises of a total estimated data (TED) associated with the UE which is to be uploaded to the heterogeneous network, where the TED includes an information element (IE) and a Buffer Status Report (BSR) indicating a size of data associated with the UE which is to be uploaded to the network. Here the priority of the UE is determined based on a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), the BSR, the TED and a Logical Channel Identifier. Figure 4
