Claim 0:
1. A method for allocating resources in a wireless network, the method comprising:
monitoring a first throughput associated with a non-Reduced Capability (RedCap) wireless device operating in a wireless sector;
determining that the first throughput drops below a threshold throughput; and
in response to the drop in the first throughput, reducing a device capability of the wireless device to mimic a RedCap wireless device,
wherein reducing the device capability consists of adjusting a maximum bandwidth allocated to the wireless device, adjusting a quantity of reception branches of the wireless device, adjusting a maximum number of transmission layers for the wireless device, and adjusting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the wireless device, and wherein the adjustments can be performed iteratively depending on multiple thresholds of resource usage.
