Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include receiving, at the base station, an identification and request for transmission access from a wireless computing device, determining a level of efficiency for data communications between the base station and the wireless computing device, selecting a descriptor for the level of efficiency, from among a plurality of predetermined descriptors that identify discrete efficiency classifications across a range of efficiencies, determining a share of bandwidth for communication between the base station and the wireless computing device based on the selected descriptor, and communicating electronically with the wireless computing device using the selected share of bandwidth. A higher share of bandwidth may be selected for a wireless computing device having a higher determined level of efficiency.
