Abstract
Network resources such as in a wireless system may be allocated to user devices on the network based upon at least one or more minimum user requirements being satisfied. A user may be determined as satisfied when minimum requirements of rate and delay are reached or maintained. The network may optimize throughput on the network by allowing a maximum number of users on the network to be satisfied. Users may be ranked according to signal quality, and network resources may be allocated to users according to rank to satisfy users until the resources of the network are allocated.
Claims27
A method, comprising:
- determining whether a user preference on a network is satisfied for a communication rate and delay time on the network;
- and
- allocating network resources to the user based on said determining.
A method, comprising:
- determining a signal quality for users of a network;
- ranking users based on the signal quality;
- determining whether a user is satisfied, and in the event a user is satisfied, determining whether a next ranked user is satisfied;
- and
- in the event a user is not satisfied, allocating network resources to the user until the user is satisfied.
An article, comprising:
- a storage medium, said storage medium having stored thereon, said instructions when executed resulting in:
- a signal quality being determined for users of a network;
- users being ranked based on the signal quality;
- a determination being made whether a user is satisfied, and in the event a user is satisfied, a determination being made whether a next ranked user is satisfied;
- and
- in the event it is determined that a user in not satisfied, network resources being allocated to a user until the user is satisfied.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a base station to couple one or more devices to a network;
- said base station to allocate resources to users of the one or more devices based on whether a user is satisfied.
An apparatus comprising:
- a handset of a user to couple to a base station on a network;
- and
- the user handset to receive network resources from the base station until the user is satisfied.
