Dynamic network configuration

摘要

Disclosed is a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of antennas, a plurality of base stations, each base station being adapted to connect to one or more of the antennas over an available spectrum, and a wireless switching module. The wireless switching module is adapted to allocate one or more portions of the available spectrum to each antenna dependent on a compatibility constraint on the antennas, and assign each antenna for connection to a base station.

1. A method of dynamically configuring a wireless communication system including a plurality of antennas and a plurality of base stations, each base station being configured to connect to one or more of the antennas over an available spectrum, the method comprising:
allocating one or more portions of the available spectrum to each antenna; and assigning each antenna for connection to a base station, wherein allocating one or more portions of the available spectrum to each antenna comprises:
choosing a mutually compatible subset of the antennas, wherein the subset of antennas that is chosen is a largest mutually compatible subset;provisionally allocating an amount of spectrum in a channel of the available spectrum to the antennas in the chosen subset dependent on bandwidth requirements of those antennas in the chosen subset;removing at least one antenna that is fully satisfied by the provisionally allocated spectrum; andrepeating the choosing, provisional allocating, and removing for each channel until all the bandwidth requirements are satisfied.
