1. A method for wireless channel information sharing comprising:
instantiating, in a wireless station, a software convergence layer to interact with medium access control (MAC) software layers in the wireless station for a first wireless technology and a second wireless technology;
querying, from the software convergence layer, the MAC software layers regarding user equipment (UE) connectivity, the software convergence layer is informed once a UE is connected to the wireless station via one or more wireless channels;
tracking and feeding one or more operational parameters related to the one or more wireless channels into the software convergence layer;
determining, at the software convergence layer, whether at least part of the one or more operational parameters are sharable across the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology;
in response to at least part of the one or more operational parameters being determined to be sharable, sharing the at least part of the one or more operational parameters across the first wireless technology and the second wireless technology; and
in response to at least part of the one or more operational parameters being determined to be sharable, performing steps comprising:
evaluating an accuracy of a location of the UE in a set of coordinates against a predetermined threshold, building, at the software convergence layer, the set of coordinates corresponds to a map of channel information, built by the software convergence layer, with each coordinate associated with one or more operational parameters on a per-channel basis;
in response to the accuracy meeting the predetermined threshold, deriving the one or more operational parameters for both the first and the second wireless technologies at the coordinate; and
passing the derived one or more operational parameters onto MAC schedulers of the first and the second wireless technologies.
