Abstract

A method, according to various aspects of the present invention, for improving a data throughput between the wireless cell and the client. A wireless cell performs the method. The method includes in any practical order (1) determining a primary direction of data flow between the wireless cell and the client, wherein if the primary direction of data flow is from the wireless cell to the client, denominating the wireless cell as a transmitting device and the client as a receiving device, otherwise, denominating the client as a transmitting device and the wireless cell as a receiving device; (2) the receiving device detecting a factor that reduces data throughput for each one channel of the plurality of channels; and (3) assigning one channel of the plurality of channels to the transmitting device and the receiving device responsive to detecting thereby improving data throughput.
