Claim 2:
3. A method for managing transmission resources for a communication network, the method comprising:
detecting, by a plurality of second wireless entities, one or more of high power pilot transmissions and low power pilot transmissions sent from a plurality of first wireless entities;
each of the second wireless entities, transmitting to a location based media access (LOMA) map manager, a message including information indicative of a detected signal strength of the high power pilot transmission and a detected signal strength of the low power pilot transmission;
wherein each of the plurality of first wireless entities is a network node (NN) and each of the plurality of second wireless entities is a user equipment (UE) and wherein the message transmitted by a particular UE includes a location at which the particular UE detected the high power pilot transmission and a location at which the particular UE detected the low power pilot transmission, the method further comprising:
allocating, by the LOMA map manager, resources to each of a plurality of zones, the allocating at least in part based on the detected signal strengths of the high power pilot transmissions, the detected signal strengths of the low power pilot transmissions and the locations of the plurality of UEs, the resources and one or more zones associated with the resources are included in one or more LOMA maps, and wherein the one or more LOMA maps are used by at least one of:
the NN to determine in which zone the particular UE is located and to determine corresponding resources to be used by the NN to transmit a data packet; and
the particular UE to determine in which zone it is located and to determine corresponding resources to be used to receive the data packet from the NN.
