Patent ID: 8660572

Claim:
A method, comprising: communicating wirelessly with at least one endpoint via a first frequency bandwidth; receiving a measurement of a signal quality from the at least one endpoint; communicating an indication of the signal quality to a server of a plurality of nodes; receiving from the server a second frequency bandwidth based on the signal quality, one or more network tuning constants, and a cost per unit of frequency bandwidth, the second frequency bandwidth indicating an amount of frequency bandwidth to use in communicating wirelessly with the at least one endpoint; and communicating wirelessly with the at least one endpoint via the second frequency bandwidth, wherein communicating an indication of the signal quality to a server comprises communicating the indication of the signal quality to a subnet server coupled to a central server, the central server operable to coordinate a plurality of subnets, each subnet comprising a subnet server operable to communicate to each node of a plurality of nodes a frequency bandwidth based on a signal quality and a cost per unit of frequency bandwidth of the respective node.
