Abstract: A system and method for mobile Internet offloading in a wireless communication network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a session is established through an Internet offload gateway (IOGW) with a mobile operator network to establish a communication with a mobile device. A packet coming from the mobile device is received by an intelligent policy manager (IPM) residing in the IOGW during the session. If the received packet is a signaling packet, offload rule flags are generated and operator defined offload policy rules are then enabled. If the received packet is a data packet, it is determined whether the operator defined offload policy rules match with session information associated the data packet. If the operator defined offload policy rules match, the data packet is offloaded to the Internet. If the operator defined offload policy rules do not match, the data packet is sent to a home gateway.
