Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
under control of one or more processors:
monitoring network traffic within a service area of a base station node;
determining a first quality of service (QoS) for instances of network traffic in a first service segment of the service area by employing a machine-learning algorithm to correlate real-time network traffic with historical network traffic in the first service segment to infer a first QoS based on averaged network usage data of a plurality of client devices in the first service segment;
determining a second QoS for instances of network traffic in a second service segment of the service area by employing the machine-learning algorithm to correlate real-time network traffic with historical network traffic in the second service segment to infer a second QoS based on averaged network usage data of a plurality of client devices in the second service segment;
determining whether the first QoS and second QoS for the instances of network traffic in the first service segment and second service segment, respectively, are less than a predetermined QoS threshold, and in response to such a determination:
detecting available spectrum to facilitate transmission of the network traffic within the service area;
analyzing the available spectrum relative to the network traffic to infer an allocation of at least a first spectrum for the first service segment of the service area and a second spectrum for the second service segment of the service area based on the first QoS and second QoS, respectively; and
generating scheduling criteria to allocate a first subset of network traffic to at least the first spectrum and a second subset of network traffic to at least the second spectrum, based at least in part on the analysis of the available spectrum.
