Abstract  Abstract

Embodiments of computer-implemented methods systems computing devices and computer-readable media are described herein for opportunistically transitioning service flows of mobile devices between being direct and indirect. In various embodiments a proximity between first and second mobile devices that are in wireless communication with each other may be monitored. In various embodiments a selective transition of a service flow between the first and second mobile devices from being indirect through the radio network access node using a first radio access technology (RAT) to being direct using a second RAT may be facilitated e.g. responsive to a determination that a first criterion has been met. In various embodiments a selective transition of the service flow from being direct using the second RAT to being indirect using the first RAT may be facilitated e.g. responsive to a determination that a second criterion has been met.
