Handoff matching in a network mesh

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising at least one processor, respective information of a group of networks, wherein the respective information identifies a respective geographical area of network coverage of a respective network of the group of networks, a respective first indication of an amount of bandwidth of the respective network, and a respective second indication of whether the amount of bandwidth is to be requested or donated by the respective network, and wherein the system is separate from the group of networks;
• determining, by the system, respective first coverage options for respective networks of the group of networks based on the respective information;
• after determining the respective first coverage options, receiving, by the system, a request from a first network of the group of networks for bandwidth from a second network of the group of networks;
• based on the request, determining, by the system, second coverage options for the first network based on the respective first coverage options and based on respective amounts of available bandwidth of the group of networks determined after receiving the request;
• and
• facilitating, by the system, the first network to utilize a second coverage option of the second coverage options for network communications.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising at least one processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving respective information of a group of networks, wherein the respective information identifies whether bandwidth is to be requested or donated by the respective network, and wherein the system is separate from the group of networks;
• determining respective first coverage options for respective networks of the group of networks based on the respective information;
• after determining the respective first coverage options, receiving a request from a first network of the group of networks for bandwidth from second network of the group of networks;
• based on the request, determining second coverage options for the first network based on the respective first coverage options and based on respective amounts of available bandwidth of the group of networks determined after receiving the request;
• and
• enabling the first network to utilize a second coverage option of the second coverage options for network communications.
