Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving a request from a communication device for wireless access to a first base station selected from a plurality of base stations operable in compliance with a worldwide interoperability for microwave access protocol; determining an impact to an operating performance of the first base station by the wireless access according to a modulation level of wireless signals transmitted by the communication device; determining whether the wireless access can be handled by a second base station of the plurality of base stations, responsive to determining the impact to the operating performance of the first base station; determining whether handling the wireless access by the second base station will reduce a second operating performance of the second base station below a second operating threshold; and declining to grant the wireless access by the communication device to any base station of the plurality of base stations responsive to determining that handling the wireless access by the second base station will lower the second operating performance below the second operating threshold.
