Abstract
In one embodiment a method including obtaining metrics regarding a WiFi network and a RAN having overlapping coverage ranges, based at least partly on the metrics, allocating a first adjusted spectrum allocation to a first network, and a second adjusted spectrum allocation to a second network, the first adjusted spectrum allocation decreased from a first current spectrum allocation, and the second adjusted spectrum allocation increased from a second current spectrum allocation, and causing enforcement of the first adjusted spectrum allocation and the second adjusted spectrum allocation, wherein the obtaining, allocating and causing are performed a plurality of times, and wherein in at least one of the plurality of times the first network is the WiFi network and the second network is the RAN, and in at least one other of the plurality of times the first network is the RAN and the second network is the WiFi network.
