Abstract
A method for dynamic allocation of communication resources includes (1) determining a risk-return characterization of a plurality of communication resource allocations across a plurality of communication channels in a communication system, (2) selecting a first allocation of the plurality of communication resource allocations from the risk-return characterization according to at least one predetermined criterium, and (3) automatically allocating communication resources among the plurality of communication channels according to the first allocation.
Claims20
A method for dynamic allocation of communication resources, comprising:
- determining a risk-return characterization of a plurality of communication resource allocations across a plurality of communication channels in a communication system;
- selecting a first allocation of the plurality of communication resource allocations from the risk-return characterization according to at least one predetermined criterium;
- and
- automatically allocating communication resources among the plurality of communication channels according to the first allocation.
A communication device capable of dynamic allocation of communication resources, comprising:
- a transmitting subsystem configured to generate a plurality of signals for transmission via respective communication channels of a plurality of communication channels;
- a memory subsystem;
- and
- a processing subsystem configured to execute instructions stored in the memory subsystem to:
- determine a risk-return characterization of a plurality of communication resource allocations across the plurality of communication channels,
- select a first allocation of the plurality of communication resource allocations from the risk-return characterization according to at least one predetermined criterium, and
- automatically allocate communication resources among the plurality of communication channels according to the first allocation.
A communication system capable of dynamic allocation of communication resources, comprising:
- a plurality of wireless base stations configured to communicate via respective wireless communication channels of a plurality of wireless communication channels;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a risk-return characterization of a plurality of transmission power allocations across the plurality of wireless communication channels,
- select a first allocation of the plurality of transmission power allocations from the risk-return characterization according to at least one predetermined criterium, and
- automatically allocate transmission power among the plurality of wireless communication channels according to the first allocation.
