Patent ID: 8125950

Claim:
An apparatus comprises: a millimeter wave (MMW) transceiver; a processing module, wherein: the processing module is operably coupled to: determine required resources for one or more upcoming tasks; determine first available resources within a first topographical circuit area; compare the first available resources with the required resources; when the comparison of the first available resources with the required resources is unfavorable, determine second available resources within a second topographical circuit area; determine whether a combination of first and second available resources compares favorably with the required resources; when the combination of the first and second available resources compares favorably with the required resources, generate a request message to access at least some of the second available resources; the MMW transceiver is operably coupled to: convert the request message into an outbound MMW signal; and convert an inbound MMW signal into a response message; the processing module is further operably coupled to allocate at least some of the first available resources and the at least some of the second available resources to the one or more upcoming tasks when the response message grants access to the at least some of the second available resources.
