Abstract
A wireless communication network comprises access points distributed across a geographical area and configured to wirelessly communicate with distributed user devices in the area, and a central server communicatively connected to the access points and configured to control the network. The access points are grouped, based on channel state information, to form a plurality of communication clusters each in wireless communication with a subset of the user devices in geographically proximal location thereto, and each communication cluster and its subset of user devices forms a subnetwork. The subnetworks are arranged for wireless communication in non-overlapping portions of the geographical area. The access points of a common subnetwork are configured to wirelessly exchange data with the subnetwork's user devices using a common frequency range. Each communication cluster comprises an edge computing device formed by one or more of the access points belonging thereto and configured to exchange data with the server.
