Spatial quality of service prioritization algorithm in wireless networks
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A spatial Quality of Service (QoS) method in a wireless network, comprising:
- determining a relative or absolute location of target devices receiving or requesting a identical media stream;
determining a group of the target devices within a given proximity of one another utilizing a identical wireless resource from the identical wireless access network;
for each target device in the group while the resources remain in the wireless network;
determining a furthest target device from other devices within the group; and
granting the determined furthest target device prioritized QoS reception of the identical media stream so that the identical media stream is delivered intact to the furthest target device; and
stopping transmission of the identical media stream to other devices.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for spatial Quality of Service (QoS) in a wireless network include determining a relative or absolute location of target devices receiving or requesting a same media stream; determining a group of the target devices within a given proximity of one another utilizing resources from the same wireless access network; for each target device in the group while the resources remain in the wireless network: determining a target device based on relative spatial distance to other target devices in the group with prioritized reception of the media stream; and granting the determined target device prioritized reception of the media stream.

12. A system implementing spatial Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization in a wireless network, comprising:
-
an interface communicatively coupled to a wireless access device; a processor; and memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to; determine a relative or absolute location of target devices receiving or requesting a identical media stream from the wireless access device; determine a group of the target devices within a given proximity of one another sharing the identical wireless resource; while shared wireless resource remain for the wireless access device, for each target device in the group; determine a target device that is a furthest spatial distance to other target devices in the group with prioritized reception of the identical media stream; and cause the wireless access device to grant the determined target device that is the furthest special distance to other target devices prioritized QoS reception of the identical media stream so that the identical media stream is delivered intact to the furthest target device; and stopping transmission of the identical media stream to other devices. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
