Patent ID: 8730835

Claim:
A method for multi-dimensional resource management by a hybrid network controller to a local sub-network, the hybrid network controller having a plurality of transceivers configured to communicate with a femtocell, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)-based access point, and at least one endpoint device of the local sub-network, the method comprising: determining multi-dimensional configuration parameters based on available resources including one or more of space, time, frequency and code domains that enable wireless communication of data with the femtocell, the WLAN-based access point, and the at least one endpoint device of the local sub-network; communicating the multi-dimensional configuration parameters via respective transceivers of the plurality of transceivers to configure the femtocell, the WLAN-based access point, and the at least one endpoint device of the local sub-network for the wireless communication of data based on user equipment traffic constraints of the at least one endpoint device; balancing user equipment traffic of the at least one endpoint device responsive to dynamic conditions of the user equipment traffic based upon the multi-dimensional configuration parameters; and allocating and assigning one or more antenna patterns for the wireless communication of the data based on the multi-dimensional configuration parameters to improve signal quality for at least one of the femtocell and the WLAN-based access point.
