Claim:
1. A method for allocating a plurality of timeslots of a channel of a plurality of channels in a wireless network, the method comprising: constructing, by a processor, a channel quality map from signal quality measurements that are obtained for each timeslot of the channel of the plurality of channels of each sector in a geographical area; determining, by the processor, a future location that is predicted using a velocity for each user endpoint device of a plurality of user endpoint devices, wherein the future location and the velocity of each user endpoint device are determined via a channel history localization scheme, wherein the channel history localization scheme determines the future location for each user endpoint device in accordance with a trajectory of each user endpoint device, wherein the trajectory of each user endpoint device is determined via a warping algorithm; estimating, by the processor, a future data rate for each user endpoint device at the future location using the channel quality map; estimating, by the processor, future timeslot allocations of the channel of the plurality of channels in the wireless network based on the future data rate that is estimated for each user endpoint device for the future location; and allocating, by the processor, each timeslot of the plurality of timeslots of the channel of the plurality of channels in the wireless network to be communicated to a user endpoint device of the plurality of user endpoint devices for use in accordance with the future timeslot allocations that are estimated for the channel for the future location.
