Publication number: 20220078260Abstract: The present application at least describes a non-transitory computer readable medium including program instructions capable of being executed by a processor. The program instructions upon execution by the processor may cause the processor to detect a first group of radio resources on a first apparatus. Another program instruction may include detecting a second group of radio resources on a second apparatus. Even another program instruction may include determining capacity information of each radio resource in the first and second groups. Yet even another program instruction may include selecting a dedicated radio resource from the determined capacity information of the radio resources in the first and second groups. Even a further program instruction may include controlling the dedicated radio resource to communicate with a third apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Inventors: Adam Christopher Markham, Brett Michael Brotherton, Kevin Michael Dyer
