Abstract
Systems and methods for managing a network are disclosed. In certain systems and methods, access to a network such as a wireless network, can be granted or denied based upon a threshold number of devices accessing the network. Moreover, access to a first service available over the network can be granted or denied based upon a threshold number of devices accessing the first service. Various network resource can be allocated to the first service based at least upon the number of device access the first service.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a request for access to a network;
- granting access to the network based upon a threshold number of devices accessing the network and in response to the request for access to the network;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, a request for access to a first service of a plurality of services provided via the network;
- granting access to the first service based upon a threshold number of devices accessing the first service and in response to the request for access to the first service;
- and
- allocating a network resource to the first service.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a request for access to a network;
- determining a current number of devices accessing the network;
- granting access to the network when the current number of devices accessing the network is below a threshold number of devices accessing the network and in response to the request for access to the network;
- receiving, by the one or more processors, a request for access to a first service of a plurality of services provided via the network;
- determining a current number of devices accessing each of the plurality of services provided via the network;
- and
- granting access to the first service based on the current number of devices accessing each of the plurality of services provided via the network.
