Method and apparatus for improved cognitive connectivity based on group datasets
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, with a processor, social distance information for at least one group of a plurality of one or more users, one or more devices associated with the one or more users, or a combination thereof, wherein the social distance information comprises a likelihood that the at least one group shares social information, a likelihood that the at least one group moves together, a likelihood that the at least one group shares one or more network services, or a combination thereof;
determining from the social distance information that at least one user of the at least one group has a shortest social distance to a majority of users of the at least one group wherein the shortest social distance is measured by, at least in part, a quality or quantity of social connections with the majority of users of the at least one group; and
allocating one or more radio resources for the at least one user of the at least one group with the shortest social distance for sharing the one or more radio resources with the one or more devices based, at least in part, on the social distance information including the social distance for the at least one group or a subset of the at least one group.

Abstract
An approach is provided for allocating radio resources based on social distance information for one or more social groups. The coexistence platform determines social distance information for at least one group of a plurality of one or more users, one or more devices associated with the one or more users, or a combination thereof. The coexistence platform causes, at least in part, at least one allocation of the one or more radio resources to the one or more devices based, at least in part, on the social distance information for the at least one group or a subset of the at least one group. The coexistence client causes an initiation of a request for at least one allocation of one or more radio resources. The coexistence client determines the one or more radio resources based, at least in part, on social distance information.

8. A method comprising:
-
initiating a request for at least one allocation of one or more radio resources for at least one group of a plurality of one or more users, one or more devices with the one or more users, or a combination thereof; determining, with a processor, the one or more radio resources based, at least in part, on social distance information for the at least one group or a subset of the at least one group, wherein the social distance information comprises a likelihood that the at least one group shares social information, a likelihood that the at least one group moves together, a likelihood that the at least one group shares one or more network services, or a combination thereof; and receiving the one or more radio resources based, at least in part, on the social distance information for the at least one group or the subset of the at least one group wherein the social distance information is measured by a quality or quantity of social connections with a majority of users of the at least one group or the subset of the at least one group. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following; determine social distance information for at least one group of a plurality of one or more users, one or more devices associated with the one or more users, or a combination thereof, wherein the social distance information comprises a likelihood that the at least one group shares social information, a likelihood that the at least one group moves together, a likelihood that the at least one group shares one or more network services, or a combination thereof; determine from the social distance information that at least one user of the at least one group has a shortest social distance to a majority of users of the at least one group wherein the shortest social distance is measured by, at least in part, a quality or quantity of social connections with the majority of users of the at least one group; and cause, at least in part, at least one allocation of one or more radio resources for the at least one user of the at least one group with the shortest social distance for sharing the one or more radio resources with the one or more devices based, at least in part, on the social distance information including the social distance for the at least one group or a subset of the at least one group. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following, cause, at least in part, an initiation of a request for at least one allocation of one or more radio resources for at least one group of a plurality of one or more users, one or more devices associated with the one or more users, or a combination thereof; determine the one or more radio resources based, at least in part, on social distance information for the at least one group or a subset of the at least one group, wherein the social distance information comprises a likelihood that the at least one group shares social information, a likelihood that the at least one group moves together, a likelihood that the at least one group shares one or more network services, or a combination thereof; and receive the one or more radio resources based, at least in part, on the social distance information for the at least one group or the subset of the at least one group wherein the social distance information is measured by a quality or quantity of social connections with a majority of users of the at least one group or the subset of the at least one group. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)
