Claim Text:
1. A method performed by an access point for adding a requested new quality of service traffic stream in a multiple wireless network environment, said method comprising: adding said requested new quality of service traffic stream to an existing allocated quality of service traffic stream to create a composite quality of service traffic stream; calculating a mean and standard deviation of the composite quality of service traffic stream; calculating a mean and standard deviation of a total effective allocated overlap quality of service traffic load for all overlapping access points in said interference range; calculating a peak value of the total effective allocated quality of service traffic for all overlapping access points in said interference range; wherein calculating the peak value of the total effective allocated quality of service traffic for all overlapping access points in said interference range includes using said existing allocated quality of service traffic stream and said requested new quality of service traffic stream and said mean and standard deviation of the composite quality of service traffic stream; determining a bandwidth factor responsive to said requested new quality of service traffic stream; calculating a peak total traffic demand for all overlapping access points in said interference range by multiplying the bandwidth factor and the peak value of the total effective allocated quality of service traffic for all overlapping access points in said interference range; first comparing said peak total traffic demand to a threshold to determine admissibility of said requested new quality of service traffic stream; rejecting said requested new quality of service traffic stream responsive to results of said first comparison if said first comparison is not admissible according to the threshold; calculating a peak total traffic demand for each overlapping access point in said interference range if said requested new quality of service traffic stream is admissible according to the threshold of said first comparison; second comparing said peak total traffic demand for each overlapping access point in said interference range, if said requested new quality of service traffic stream is admissible according to the threshold; and performing one of accepting said requested new quality of service traffic stream by the access point and rejecting said requested new quality of service traffic stream by the access point responsive to results of said second comparison.
