Abstract
Systems, methods, and processing nodes are related to allocating bandwidth in a wireless network. A method includes identifying a plurality of small cell relay nodes connected to a relay node. The method further includes determining priority data indicative of resource utilization by each of the plurality of small cell relay nodes and types of services utilized by wireless devices connected to each of the plurality of small cell relay nodes. Additionally, the method includes determining a priority for each of the plurality of small cell relay nodes based at least partially the priority data. The method also includes allocating backhaul bandwidth of the relay node to each of the plurality of small cell relay nodes based at least partially on the priority for each of the plurality of small cell relay nodes.
