    摘要: Systems and methods are described for detecting and diagnosing performance problems in wireless communications networks. Diagnostic programs execute on a wireless device, neighboring devices, and a wireless access point to collaborate in diagnosing network problems. The neighboring devices eavesdrop on a diagnostic session between the device and the access point to determine problems at the device, the access point, and in the wireless medium. Data from the eavesdropping devices can be summarized and sent to a network administrator for further action. The diagnostic programs are described to contain a passive component for detecting problems, and an active component for running the diagnostic techniques.

    摘要: A method and system for optimizing channel access scheduling for multiple wireless computing devices over a wireless network improves channel access efficiency with respect to a primary channel. An access point, or host computer, includes a host transceiver for receiving control information from the wireless computing devices over a low power channel. Upon receiving the control information, the access point applies a scheduling algorithm to schedule channel access for the wireless computing devices to transmit data over the primary communication channel. The wireless computing devices include a low power radio for receiving scheduling information via the low power channel during idle periods. When the scheduling information is received, the wireless computing device activates its primary channel network interface components to communicate data through the primary channel. When the computing device is idle, the device is configured to power down all of its components with the exception of the circuitry required to power the low power channel. As such, the low power channel is maintained in an active state for receiving scheduling information, such as an access schedule, during both idle and non-idle periods.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described for using client conduits to enable bootstrapping and fault diagnosis of disconnected wireless clients. Client conduits are used to enable disconnected clients to diagnose their problems with the help of nearby clients. This technique may take advantage of the beaconing and probing mechanisms of IEEE 802.11 to ensure that connected clients do not pay unnecessary overheads for detecting disconnected clients. Methods are also described for detecting rogue devices disguising as disconnected clients.

    摘要: Methods are described for using collaboration of neighboring wireless devices to enable location of disconnected wireless devices and rogue wireless access points. A central server computes the locations of the neighboring clients and uses those locations to estimate the location of a disconnected client. These techniques may take advantage of the beaconing and probing mechanisms of IEEE 802.11 to ensure that connected clients do not pay unnecessary overheads for detecting disconnected clients. Methods are also described for detecting and locating rogue devices by collaboratively collecting information from neighboring devices and comparing the information to a database.
