Abstract
Network resources such as in a wireless system may be allocated to user devices on the network based upon at least one or more minimum user requirements being satisfied. A user may be determined as satisfied when minimum requirements of rate and delay are reached or maintained. The network may optimize throughput on the network by allowing a maximum number of users on the network to be satisfied. Users may be ranked according to signal quality, and network resources may be allocated to users according to rank to satisfy users until the resources of the network are allocated.
