RESOURCE PARTITIONING IN HETEROGENEOUS ACCESS POINT NETWORKS

摘要

Providing for dynamic resource provisioning in wireless communication is described herein. By way of example, various wireless performance metrics are collected by respective network access points as an aggregate measure of wireless network performance. Aggregated data can be utilized to generate a performance model for the network and for individual access points. Changes to the data are updated to the model to provide a steady-state characterization of network performance. Wireless resources are generated for respective access points in a manner that optimizes wireless performance. Additionally, resource assignments can be updated at various intervals to re-optimize for existing wireless conditions, whether event driven or based on performance metrics. Accordingly, a robust and dynamic optimization is provided for wireless network resource provisioning that can accommodate heterogeneous access point networks in a changing topology.
