Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to improve the manageability of handover performance of multi-mode wireless client devices when roaming between a wireless local area network (WLAN) and at least one other network. Signals are received at a plurality of WLAN access points from multi-mode wireless client devices. The WLAN access points generate handover data associated with handover events of wireless Voice-Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication sessions for the multi-mode wireless client devices between the wireless local area network and at least one other network. The WLAN access points also generate link quality data representing status and quality of a wireless link with multi-mode wireless client devices during a VoIP communication session. A controller that is provided that is configured to receive the handover data and link quality data for multi-mode wireless client devices from the plurality of access points. The controller aggregates the handover data and link quality data for a VoIP communication session for a multi-mode wireless client device into a mobility detail record and stores the mobility detail record together with an identifier of an associated call detail record.

Abstract: A method and software to cause a processor to implement a method to set a packet age limit in an access point of a wireless network for communicating time-sensitive data with an associated wireless client station. One method includes the client station sending feedback to the access point so that the access point can set its packet age limit. Another method includes the access point setting its packet age limit according to feedback from the associated client station and/or according to information determined at the access point about the network.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for switching a mobile processing device from communicating over a wireless connection with a first base unit to a second base unit based upon latency. In accordance with this invention, the mobile processing device determines latency information for packets being transmitted over the wireless connection to and from a base unit. The latency information is compared to a threshold value. If the latency information is greater than the threshold value, the mobile processing device adjusts parameters of the wireless connection between the mobile processing device and the network.
