Abstract

A method of scheduling wireless communications may include assigning a first band of a wireless communications standard for wireless communications between a wireless communications supervisor of a wireless network and one or more wireless devices. The one or more wireless devices may include one or more hotspot devices. The method may also include assigning a second band of the wireless communications standard for wireless communications between the one or more hotspot devices and one or more slave wireless devices. The one or more hotspot devices may be configured to relay information between the one or more slave wireless devices and the wireless communications supervisor. The method may also include determining a power adjustment for communications by the one or more hotspot devices. The power adjustment may be determined based on a congestion of one or more channels within one or more of the first band and the second band.
