Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of regulating the allocation of radio-frequency (RF) channels in a carrier-aggregation network comprising at least a first wireless-telecommunications network (the “first network”) and at least a second wireless-telecommunications network (the “second network”), the method comprising: at a base station that is part of the carrier-aggregation network: receiving a registration request from a mobile station subscribing to services offered by the first network; communicating the registration request to the first network; receiving a set of policy parameters from the first network, the set of policy parameters comprising a mobile station-specific subscription plan associated with the mobile station and network-specific quality of service (QoS) indices, wherein the mobile station-specific subscription plan comprises data transmission limits associated with the mobile station, and wherein the base station decreases upload speeds when the mobile station is approaching its data transmission limits; receiving a first service request from the mobile station, the first service request corresponding to a first data transaction; based on the set of policy parameters and the first service request and without communicating with the first network, determining a first set of RF channels available to the mobile station; and sending a resource assignment to the mobile station specifying the first set of RF channels available to the mobile station.
