Method and Apparatus to Provide Fair Spectrum Sharing in Multiple Physical Transmission Rate Wireless Systems
First Claim
1. A method of providing spectrum allocation fairness in a wireless network (100), the method comprising:
- providing an unlicensed communication spectrum;
co-locating a plurality of wireless systems (101,102,103), wherein at least two of the plurality of wireless systems have different spectral bandwidths and channel capacities; and
determining the bandwidth requirements of each of the systems and allocating a bandwidth (303,304,305) or a communication period (311,312,313) to each of the systems for a particular interval.

12. A wireless network, comprising:
-
an unlicensed radio spectrum;
a plurality of wireless systems (101,102,103) and at least two of the systems have different spectral bandwidth requirements and channel capacities, wherein based on the bandwidth requirements of each station, a bandwidth (303,304,305) or a communication period (311,312,313) is allocated to each of the systems for a particular interval. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
