Wireless network is a network set up by using radio signal frequency to communicate among computers and other network devices, due to its easy setup feature and no cabling involved, it have become an important tool in the construction of modern society. New emerging technologies allow users to perform more and more complex tasks, driving an increasing mean bandwidth consumption per user. However, a wireless network has limited capacity to provide information transactions, that is, finite bandwidth; despite that neither, the number of users allowed to connect nor the amount of consumed spectrum are restricted. In order to guarantee an optimal performance is necessary to avoid signal traffic saturation and, at the same time, be able to reach an optimum usage of bandwidth even with a dynamical configuration of users and consumption.
No coded case data available.
Resource System
The electromagnetic spectrum or bandwidth available for information traffic consisting of the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.
Resource Users
Users connected to the wireless network. Private broadcasting companies, government, universities and society in general.
Public Infrastructure
Telecommunication laws.
Public Infrastructure Providers
Private broadcasting companies and government.
Relationship 1
The consumption of spectrum at different scales and frequencies is given by the variety of wireless communications.
Relationship 2
In this case users can act both as public infrastructure providers and users, depending of the scale of the system. Broadcasting companies are PIPs and at the same time users at macro scale. There exist users at micro scale (final user) which are provided by broadcasting companies.
Relationship 3
Mostly of the telecommunication infrastructure is private, however there exist government rules (telecommunication laws) to regulate the appropriation and distribution of the resource among the different frequencies and consumption scales.
Relationship 4
Broadcasting companies make bandwidth available by managing the resource at macro scale and distributing it to end users.
Relationship 5
Telecommunication laws (soft PI) govern the appropriation of resource at macro and micro scale. Broadcasting companies offers different appropriation possibilities to final users at micro scale.
Relationship 6
Availability of private infrastructure provided by broadcasting companies (macro RU) determines the effectiveness of telecommunication laws (soft PI). Telecommunication laws govern at macro scale the private infrastructure. Final users impact the macro scale management by demanding the resource.
