SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER-BASED RESOURCE ALLOCATION USING ORTHOGONAL FREQUENCY-DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS FUNCTIONALITY

Abstract:

Systems and methods are provided herein for providing user-based resource allocation using OFDMA functionality. This may be accomplished by a WAP receiving a request for access to a network from a first device, wherein the first device is configured to communicate with the WAP using OFDMA. The request for access comprises an identifier and role associated with the first device. The WAP then determine if a second device associated with the same identifier as the first device is being allocated one or more RUs for communicating with the network. If there is a second device associated with the identifier being allocated RUs for communicating with the network, the WAP determines a number of one or more RUs to provide to the first device based on the role associated with the first device and one or more conditions stored in a database.
