Abstract: One wireless telecommunications system includes a Mobile Central Office (MCO) for capacity sharing. The MCO is communicatively coupled to a plurality of wireless base stations, each being operable to handle a session from a wireless device and to handoff the session to another base station when the wireless device moves into a range of the other base station. The MCO is operable to detect capacity on a base station to which it is coupled, to request capacity for the base station from a remotely located master scheduling system, to acquire at least a portion of the requested capacity from a base station of another MCO based on the request to the master scheduling system, to handle another session of another wireless device via the acquired capacity, and to release the acquired capacity to the master scheduling system when the first base station has completed use of the acquired capacity.
