Method and system are described to determine a signal quality for nodes of a network. In one embodiment, a signal quality for nodes of a network is determined. The nodes are ranked based on the signal quality. Information from a node at a device is received; the information indicates whether the node is satisfied. In the event the node is satisfied, whether a next ranked node is satisfied is determined. In the event the node is not satisfied, network resources are allocated to the node until the node is satisfied.

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: gathering feedback from users via devices in a network, the feedback is based on a signal quality at a corresponding slot on the network, the slot including a time period of constant duration in which communication occurs; ranking nodes based on the signal quality; receiving information from a node at a device indicating whether the node is satisfied; in the event the node is satisfied, determining whether a next ranked node is satisfied; and in the event the node is not satisfied, allocating network resources to the node until the node is satisfied. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein a node is determined to be satisfied when at least one of a rate and a delay requirement for the node is provided by the network. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a node is determined to be satisfied when a minimum rate and delay requirement are provided by the network. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising allocating network resources until all network resources have been allocated. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising allocating network resources until all network resources have been allocated, and then continuing to determine a signal quality for nodes of the network. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the determining includes determining the signal quality for nodes of a wireless network. 7. A machine-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to: gather feedback from users via devices in a network, the feedback is based on a signal quality at a corresponding slot on the network, the slot including a time period of constant duration in which communication occurs; rank nodes based on the signal quality; receive information from a node at a device indicating whether the node is satisfied; in the event the node is satisfied, determine whether a next ranked node is satisfied; and in the event the node is not satisfied, allocate network resources to the node until the node is satisfied. 8. The machine-readable medium of claim 7, wherein a node is determined to be satisfied when at least one of a rate and a delay requirement for the node is provided by the network. 9. The machine-readable medium of claim 7, wherein a node is determined to be satisfied when a minimum rate and delay requirement are provided by the network. 10. The machine-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the instructions which, when executed, further cause the machine to allocate network resources until all network resources have been allocated. 11. The machine-readable medium of claim 7, wherein the instructions which, when executed, further cause the machine to continually execute until a signal quality being determined for nodes of the network when all network resources have been allocated. 12. An apparatus comprising: a server system having a base station, the base station to gather feedback from users, the feedback is based on a signal quality at a corresponding slot on a network, the slot including a time period of constant duration in which communication occurs; and a handset of a node couple to the base station, the handset to transmit information from the node to the base station indicating whether a node preference on the network is satisfied for a communication rate and delay time at a first time slot on the network, and to receive network resources from the base station until the node is satisfied. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the node is satisfied when at least one of a rate and a delay requirement for the node is provided by the network. 14. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the node is satisfied when minimum rate and delay requirements are provided by the network. 15. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the node handset to be allocated resources from the base station is base on one or more parameters selected from the group consisting essentially of delay, quality, a percentage of resources required to keep the node satisfied for a predetermined number of time slots, and velocity. 16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the node handset to be allocated resources from the base station is based on whether the node is satisfied until all network resources are allocated. 17. A system comprising: a server system coupled with devices and storage mediums over a network, the server system having a base station, the base station to gather feedback from users via the devices in the network, the feedback is based on a signal quality at a corresponding slot on the network, the slot including a time period of constant duration in which communication occurs; ranking nodes based on the signal quality; receiving information from a node at a device indicating whether the node is satisfied; in the event the node is satisfied, determining whether a next ranked node is satisfied; and in the event the node is not satisfied, allocating network resources to the node until the node is satisfied. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the node is satisfied when at least one of a rate and a delay requirement for the node is provided by the network. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the node is satisfied when minimum rate and delay requirements are provided by the network.
