Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising: a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising: determining whether a first device, which is wireless-capable, is communicating under a bandwidth surplus with a fixed network via a first fixed network connection, wherein the bandwidth surplus results at least in part from use by the first device of one or more link aggregation groups, wherein the one or more link aggregation groups comprise licensed wireless spectrum, unlicensed wireless spectrum, or a combination thereof, and wherein the determining with respect to the first device results in a first determination; determining whether a second device is communicating under a bandwidth deficit with the fixed network via a second fixed network connection, wherein the determining with respect to the second device results in a second determination; and responsive to the first determination being that the first device is communicating under the bandwidth surplus and responsive to the second determination being that the second device is communicating under the bandwidth deficit, allocating at least a portion of the bandwidth surplus associated with the first device to the second device.
