1. A method comprising:
- providing, by a computing device, access to a wireless communications network to a user device at a first location;
determining, by the computing device, that the user device is moving to a second location where access to the wireless communications network is not available; and
providing, by the computing, access to the wireless communications network to the user device at the second location by extending a coverage area of the wireless communications network.

Abstract
A communications access point may provide access to a wireless communications network to a user device located at a first location. The communications access point may determine that the user device is moving from the first location to a second location where access to the wireless network is limited or not available. In response to the determination, the communications access point may provide access to the wireless network at the second location by extending a coverage area of the wireless network.

20. A method comprising:
-
providing, by a computing device in a first wireless coverage area, access to a wireless communications network to a plurality of devices respectively located at a plurality of first locations based on first location density information; determining, by the computing device, whether one or more of the plurality of devices are respectively moving to one or more second locations where the wireless communications network is not available; determining, by the computing device, second location density information based on the one or more second locations; and providing, by the computing device in a second wireless coverage area different from the first wireless coverage area, access to the wireless communications network based on the second location density information.
