Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically assign user devices to communicate to cell sites and antenna arrays using either a first wireless communication protocol or a second wireless communication protocol. The sector power ratio (SPR) for a wireless communication protocol is monitored to determine if a key performance indicator (KPI) should be monitored. Once the SPR exceeds a pre-determined threshold, the KPI is monitored to determine to what degree, if any, the KPI has exceeded a threshold value. An upper limit to the number of user devices allowed to communicate to the cell cite using the first wireless communication protocol is then modified at least in part based on the SPR and the KPI values. User devices are then re-assigned from the first to the second wireless communication protocol based on the modified upper limit of user devices allowed to use the first wireless communication protocol.
