Managing software updates to radio nodes in a wireless mobile network

A smart scheduler configured to:

• monitor radio nodes to obtain radio node coverage information and to obtain radio node status information;
• based on the radio node coverage information, perform node clustering to identify one or more batches of source nodes to update based on a compensation capacity of neighbor nodes to the source nodes;
• and
• based on the one or more batches of source nodes identified from the node clustering, and on the radio node status information, perform a scheduling operation to choose a time-slot for executing an update to at least one of the one or more batches of source nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed perform operations comprising:

• monitoring radio nodes to obtain radio node coverage information and to obtain radio node status information;
• based on the radio node coverage information, performing node clustering to identify one or more batches of source nodes to update based on a compensation capacity of neighbor nodes to the source nodes;
• and
• based on the one or more batches of source nodes identified from the node clustering, and on the radio node status information, performing a scheduling operation to choose a time-slot for executing an update to at least one of the one or more batches of source nodes.
