Patent ID: 8856301

Claim:
A method for managing a wireless network at a network management module comprising: receiving traffic information associated with a first wireless network and a second wireless network, wherein the first wireless network is configured in accordance with a first wireless communications standard, wherein the second wireless network is configured in accordance with a second wireless communications standard different than the first wireless communications standard, and wherein the received traffic information comprises a traffic condition; and co-simulating behavior of the first wireless network and behavior of the second wireless network under the traffic condition such that simulated behavior of the first wireless network is incorporated in simulating the behavior of the second wireless network and simulated behavior of the second wireless network is incorporated in simulating the behavior of the first wireless network, wherein the simulating the behavior of the second wireless network comprises estimating user migration from the second wireless network to the first wireless network, and wherein the simulating the behavior of the first wireless network comprises estimating user migration from the first wireless network to the second wireless network.
