Determination of whether to admit a mobile device to a hot spot

摘要

Systems, methods and apparatuses of determining whether to admit the mobile device to the hot spot are disclosed. One method includes establishing communication between a hot spot and a mobile device, determining a first level of communication directly between the mobile device and a cellular network, determining a second level of communication between the mobile device and the cellular network through the hot spot, and identifying a fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network. The method further includes determining whether to admit the mobile device to the hot spot based on a comparison of the first level of communication with the second level of communication, and the fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network that is either better or worse than the first level of communication.

1. A method comprising:
establishing communication between a hot spot and a mobile device, wherein the hot spot comprises at least one of a fixed device hot spot or a mobile device hot spot; determining a first level of communication directly between the mobile device and a cellular network, wherein the first level of communication is based on at least one of a level of performance or a level of quality of communication directly between the mobile device and the cellular network; determining a second level of communication between the mobile device and the cellular network through the hot spot, wherein the second level of communication is based on at least one of a level of performance or a level of quality of communication between the mobile device and the cellular network through the hot spot; identifying a fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network that is either better or worse than the first level of communication, wherein the level of communication is greater than a minimal threshold; and determining whether to admit the mobile device to the hot spot based on: a comparison of the first level of communication with the second level of communication; and the fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network that is either better or worse than the first level of communication.
