Methods, systems and apparatus to facilitate ranked network priority

An apparatus to allocate resources of a wireless network, comprising:

• a bid interface manager to obtain a first bid value associated with a first wireless device;
• an auction engine to identify a rank of the first wireless device with a plurality of wireless devices based on the first bid value associated with the first wireless device;
• and
• a bandwidth allocation engine to:
• allocate a first bit rate to the first wireless device based on the rank of the first wireless device at a first time;
• and
• in response to detecting a change in availability of the first bit rate at a second time:
• apply a second bid value for a second bit rate when the first wireless device is located in a first geographic area;
• and
• apply a third bid value for the second bit rate when the first wireless device is located in a second geographic area different from the first geographic area.

A tangible machine readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

• calculating a rank of a first wireless device relative to a plurality of wireless devices based on a first bid value associated with a first wireless device;
• allocating a first bit rate to the first wireless device based on the rank of the first wireless at a first time;
• and
• in response to detecting a change in availability of the first bit rate at a second time, applying a second bid value for a second bit rate when the first wireless device is located in a first geographic area, and applying a third bid value for the second bit rate when the first wireless device is located in a second geographic area different from the first geographic area.
