WIRELESS DATA DELIVERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
A management system includes a base station controller that uses performance metrics received from one or more associated base stations and/or from other user devices along with service delivery rules to determine when portions of data of a first data transfer are to be sent and/or at what rate the data portions are to be sent from a first base station servicing a first communication cell to a first user device located in the first communication cell thereby seeking to accomplish network availability goals for the first use device receiving the first data transfer, to accomplish network availability goals for other user devices also serviced in the first communication cell by the first base station, and/or to accomplish network availability goals for other user devices serviced in other communication cells by other base stations.
