Abstract
A configuration device for configuring a wireless device within a wireless cell can include a receiving unit configured to receive a request message from a wireless device within a wireless cell. In addition, the configuration device can include a first processing unit configured to determine location information of the wireless device, and a second processing unit configured to determine a communication capacity of the wireless device, and to estimate a communication requirement based on the request message. Furthermore, the configuration device can have a transmitting unit configured to transmit optimal information to the wireless device with respect to the request message.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving a request at a first wireless device in a network that has a plurality of wireless devices, wherein the request is to perform a specified task;
- determining, at the first wireless device, a data requirement to perform the specified task;
- evaluating the plurality of wireless devices in the network to perform the specified task based on the data requirement and assessing performance capability for the plurality of wireless devices in the network to perform the specified task;
- assessing a plurality of locations within the network to perform the specified task based on the data requirement;
- identifying one or more wireless devices in the network that have the performance capability to perform the specified task and identifying one or more locations within the network capable of providing the data requirement to perform the specified task;
- and
- selecting a combination of both the one or more wireless devices in the network that have the performance capability to perform the specified task and one or more locations within the network capable of providing the data requirement to perform the specified task.
