Abstract:
1. Non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising: continuously measuring, in an asymmetric network without on-path support, an anchor path delay; determining a maximum standard allowable (MSA) delay variation for a cluster; continuously measuring a respective round trip (RT) delay from a host site to each unanchored small cell site in the cluster; comparing the anchor path delay to each respective RT delay to determine a respective unanchored delay variation; identifying a new unanchored site to add to the cluster; continuously measuring a new RT delay from the host site to the new unanchored site; comparing the anchor path delay to the new RT delay to determine a new unanchored delay variation; and adding the new site to the cluster if the new unanchored delay variation does not exceed the MSA delay variation.
