METHOD FOR DYNAMICALLY GROUPING LIMITED RANGE PHYSICAL ENTITIES IN A TOPOLOGICAL SPACE ASSOCIATED WITH EACH GROUP, ASSIGN EACH ENTITY, CALCULATING MEMGERSHIP VALUE FOR EACH ENTITY

Limited range physical entities located in a topological space are dynamically grouped by partitioning the space into grids for different functional domains, a group being associated with each grid that corresponds to a unique functional domain and a unique topological space. A range of effectiveness for each entity is determined and compared with other groups. Each entity is then assigned to be a member of a particular group. The assigning step may comprise calculating a membership value for each entity, the membership value being equal to the ratio of the intersecting space to total space within a group.
