Abstract
Radio resource allocation is carried out on the basis of a radio environment map. The radio environment map is constructed based on received reports of signal quality and/or strength. Using history and triangulation, estimates of station positions can be determined, and expectations can be determined for interference between stations and between stations and access points. Resource requests can then be fulfilled on the basis of separate treatment of requests which have little potential for causing interference, and those which have potential to cause interference.
