Abstract

It is determined that a first channel loading of a first access node channel meets a loading threshold. Wireless devices in active communication over the first access node channel are identified, the wireless devices comprising an application running on each wireless device, each application comprising an application requirement which meets an application requirement criteria. The identified wireless devices are ranked into a first order based on a modulation and coding scheme assigned to each wireless device, and are further ranked in a second order within the first order based on an indication of an amount of data pending transmission from each wireless device when two or more wireless devices are assigned the same modulation and coding scheme. Each identified wireless device is instructed to operate on a second access node channel according to the second order, until the first channel loading does not meet the loading threshold.
