System and method for computing coverage set and resource allocations in wireless networks

摘要

The present disclosure discloses a network device and/or method for computing coverage set and resource allocations in wireless networks. The disclosed network device selects a radio frequency subdomain in a wireless network, and further determines a coverage set for the selected radio frequency subdomain. The coverage set includes a subset of access nodes in the selected radio frequency domain. Moreover, a respective access node in the radio frequency subdomain satisfies one of (a) the respective access node is a member of the coverage set, and (b) the respective access node is covered by at least one member of the coverage set with a signal strength stronger than a predetermined threshold.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause performance of operations comprising:
identifying a plurality of access nodes; identifying a first subset of access nodes in the plurality of access nodes as redundant access nodes; responsive to determining that the first subset of access nodes are redundant access nodes, filtering out the first subset of access nodes from the plurality of access nodes to identify a second subset of access nodes; determining a coverage set for providing network access, wherein the coverage set comprises the second subset of access nodes, and wherein the coverage set does not include the first subset of access nodes, wherein the identifying of the first subset of access nodes as redundant access nodes comprises determining that each of the first subset of access nodes receives wireless signals, transmitted by at least one access node in the second subset of access nodes, at a signal strength above a particular threshold value.
