Apparatus and methods for a bandwidth efficient scheduler

A wireless apparatus configured to schedule communication resources shared by a plurality of interfaces of the wireless apparatus for use of a plurality of wireless devices with the wireless apparatus via the plurality of interfaces, the wireless apparatus comprising:

• the plurality of interfaces;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless apparatus to:
• determine priorities for a plurality of wireless devices that communicate with the wireless apparatus via the plurality of interfaces, the priorities based at least in part on a historical usage and/or a predicted usage via corresponding interfaces of corresponding wireless devices;
• generate a schedule to share the communication resources among the plurality of interfaces based at least in part on the priorities for the plurality of wireless devices;
• and
• communicate by the wireless apparatus with the plurality of wireless devices via the plurality of interfaces according to the schedule.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a wireless apparatus to:

• generate a schedule to share communication resources among a plurality of interfaces of the wireless apparatus for use of one or more wireless devices with the wireless apparatus via the plurality of interfaces based at least in part on priorities for the plurality of interfaces;
• provide the schedule to the plurality of interfaces for communication between the one or more wireless devices and the wireless apparatus via the plurality of interfaces;
• and
• adjust the schedule to share the communication resources among the plurality of interfaces based at least in part on adjustments to the priorities for the plurality of interfaces,
• wherein the priorities for the plurality of interfaces are based at least in part on historical usage and/or predicted usage via corresponding interfaces of the one or more wireless devices.
