Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide for capacity sharing between wireless systems. One wireless telecommunications system includes a plurality of base stations and a Mobile Central Office (MCO) communicatively coupled to each of the base stations. Each base station is operable to handle a session from a wireless device and to handoff the session to another of the base stations when the wireless device moves into a range of the other wireless base station. The MCO is operable to detect capacity on a first of the base stations, to request capacity from another wireless system in response to detecting the capacity on the first base station, to acquire at least a portion of the requested capacity from the other wireless system, and to direct the wireless device to communicate via the capacity acquired from the other wireless system.
