Claim:
1. A method to analyze sub-carrier allocation data to categorize clusters for predictive spectral allocation in a wireless network, the method comprising: receiving information on device location, time slots, at least one sub-carrier allotted for each time slot, and quality indicators from a plurality of mobile devices; grouping the time slots to form analysis intervals; dynamically adjusting a length of the analysis intervals based on an expected population change within a geographic area that encompasses the plurality of mobile devices; identifying a time-frequency vector for each analysis interval, wherein the time-frequency vector associates the analysis interval with the device location; computing a goodness indicator for each time-frequency vector; identifying clusters of time-frequency vectors; and categorizing the clusters of time-frequency vectors into two or more categories.
