Abstract
Load balancing for saturated wireless may be provided. A computing device may determine that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point. A first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP may be identified. Then a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area may be obtained. A plurality of user devices may be moved from the AP to the first SD. The first SD may then service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point;
- identifying a first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP;
- obtaining a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area;
- causing a plurality of user devices to be moved from the AP to the first SD;
- and
- causing the first SD to service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.
A system comprising:
- a memory storage;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to:
- determine that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point;
- identify a first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP;
- obtain a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area;
- cause a plurality of user devices to be moved from the AP to the first SD;
- and
- cause the first SD to service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.
A computer-readable medium that stores a set of instructions which when executed perform a method executed by the set of instructions comprising:
- determining that an Access Point (AP) has reached a saturation point;
- identifying a first Service Device (SD) having a first SD coverage area that overlaps an AP coverage area associated with the AP;
- obtaining a license to operate within a frequency spectrum segment for the first SD coverage area;
- causing a plurality of user devices to be moved from the AP to the first SD;
- and
- causing the first SD to service the plurality of user devices using at least a portion of the frequency spectrum segment.
