Abstract:
1. A computing device-implemented method comprising: receiving, by the computing device, code division multiple access (CDMA) capacity/resource information via a first direct interface with a radio network controller (RNC) associated with a CDMA radio access network (RAN); determining, by the computing device and based on the CDMA capacity/resource information, a capacity associated with the CDMA RAN; determining, by the computing device and based on the CDMA capacity/resource information, a resource availability associated with the CDMA RAN; determining, by the computing device and based on the capacity and the resource availability associated with the CDMA RAN, a CDMA RAN resource allocation; receiving, by the computing device, long term evolution (LTE) capacity/resource information via a second direct interface with a mobility management entity (MME) associated with a LTE radio access network (RAN); determining, by the computing device and based on the LTE capacity/resource information, a capacity associated with the LTE RAN; determining, by the computing device and based on the LTE capacity/resource information, a resource availability associated with the LTE RAN; determining, by the computing device and based on the capacity and the resource availability associated with the LTE RAN, a LTE RAN resource allocation; and allocating, by the computing device, resources based on the determined CDMA RAN resource allocation and based on the determined LTE RAN resource allocation.
