Abstract
A method for allocating bandwidth to devices seeking to initiate contact with a communication service is described. At each device, the location of the device is determined via a global positioning system calculation. At each device, a cell corresponding to the determined location is determined. At each device, a message for service to the communication service is sent at a time slice allocated for the cell. Upon receiving notification of service, allocated bandwidth and frequency by the communication service, communication is established.
