Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses of determining whether to admit the mobile device to the hot spot are disclosed. One method includes establishing communication between a hot spot and a mobile device, determining a first level of communication directly between the mobile device and a cellular network, determining a second level of communication between the mobile device and the cellular network through the hot spot, and identifying a fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network. The method further includes determining whether to admit the mobile device to the hot spot based on a comparison of the first level of communication with the second level of communication, and the fraction of other mobile devices having a level of communication directly with the cellular network that is either better or worse than the first level of communication.
