Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- grouping a plurality of wireless base terminals (WBTs) into first and second groups that share at least one common WBT; and
selecting a resultant communication path for the at least one common WBT to a mobile telephone switching office (MTSO) based on differential delays associated with alternative communication paths for one or more other WBTs in the first and second groups.

Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for improving network performance in a communication system. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server having a controller to group a plurality of wireless base terminals (WBTs) into first and second groups that share at least one common WBT and select a resultant communication path for the at least one common WBT to a mobile telephone switching office based on differential delays associated with alternative communication paths for combinations of WBTs in at least one of the first and second groups. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
