Abstract:
1. A method of operating a communication system, comprising: communicating with a first set of wireless devices using a first frequency range; communicating with a second set of wireless devices using a second frequency range; determining a first air-interface utilization associated with the first frequency range; determining that the first air-interface utilization satisfies a criteria; determining a second air-interface utilization associated with the second frequency range; selecting a subset of the first set of wireless devices, the subset having a total air interface utilization that exceeds one-half of the difference between the first air-interface utilization and the second air-interface utilization; wherein the first air-interface utilization and the second air-interface utilization are based on a weighted series of individual frame air-interface utilizations, wherein the weighted series of individual frame air-interface utilizations is based on a formula equivalent to: wherein D controlling the subset to use the second frequency range.
