1. A method for moving a network equipment, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving locations for a plurality of devices;
receiving guaranteed bit rates for applications running on the plurality of devices;
determining a plurality of areas by calculating for each device within the plurality of devices, an area surrounding each device where network equipment satisfies the guaranteed bit rate for the application(s) running on each device;
calculating an intersection of the plurality of areas, the plurality of areas comprising at least a first area surrounding a first device, and a second area surrounding a second device; and
transmitting the location of the intersection to the network equipment.

7. An system comprising:
-
a receiver receiving device locations; logic circuitry coupled to the receiver, the logic circuitry having the device locations as an input, the logic circuitry having a guaranteed bit rate of applications running on devices as an input, the logic circuitry determining a plurality of areas by calculating for each device within the plurality of devices, an area surrounding each device where network equipment satisfies the guaranteed bit rate for the application(s) running on each device, and the logic circuitry calculating an intersection of the plurality of areas, the plurality of areas comprising at least a first area surrounding a first device, and a second area surrounding a second device; and a transmitter having the location of the intersection as an input and outputting the location of the intersection to network equipment, causing the network equipment to move to near the location of the intersection of the plurality of areas. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
