SPATIAL QUALITY OF SERVICE PRIORITIZATION ALGORITHM IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus for spatial Quality of Service (QoS) in a wireless network include determining a relative or absolute location of target devices receiving or requesting a same media stream; determining a group of the target devices within a given proximity of one another utilizing resources from the same wireless access network; for each target device in the group while the resources remain in the wireless network: determining a target device based on relative spatial distance to other target devices in the group with prioritized reception of the media stream; and granting the determined target device prioritized reception of the media stream.
