    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: Wireless adapters are installed on one or more general purpose computing devices and are connected via a wireless network in an enterprise environment. The adapters are densely deployed at known locations throughout the environment and are configured as air monitors. The air monitors monitor wireless signals transmitted between transceiver devices and access points and records information about these signals. One or more analysis or inference engines may be deployed to analyze the signals received from the air monitors to obtain optimum performance and connectivity information about the wireless network.

    摘要: A system and method that increases the capacity of a wireless network using frequency diversity. A user switches between channels of a network using a single network interface card in such a manner that nodes desiring to communicate overlap while disjoint communications mostly do not overlap. A driver is inserted into a device's networking stack and controls the network interface card using a plurality of virtual wireless network adapters. Packets for a recipient are queued when the recipient is not accessible on the node's channel. In one embodiment where multiple nodes are switching in and out of channel, the method changes part of a nodes channel hopping schedule to ensure concurrent connectivity in a channel for at least a brief time period such that packets can be received/transmitted with desired nodes.

    摘要: A framework for wireless network management applications in an enterprise environment using existing general purpose computing devices is presented. At least one of the devices is configured with a wireless adapter and is used as an AirMonitor to monitor one or more wireless networks. Other devices are configured as LandMonitors to monitor traffic on a wired network in the enterprise environment. At least one inference engine uses the LandMonitors and AirMonitors by assigning them monitoring tasks. Data from the monitoring tasks are stored in a database. Analysis of the data that is computationally intensive is generally performed by the inference engines. Wireless network management applications use the framework by installing and running application-specific components (e.g., filters) on the AirMonitors, LandMonitors, and/or inference engines.

    摘要: Embodiments provide implementations for estimating a test application's energy usage on a target device based on execution of the test application. Resource usage associated with the execution of the test application is measured. The measured resource usage is input into a power model of the target device to estimate the energy that the test application uses when executed on the target device. An emulation system is configured to execute the test application in a virtual execution environment using resource scaling and simulated target device application programming interfaces to substantially simulate the corresponding capabilities of the target device.

    摘要: Described is a technology by which a remote or local geo-location service provides white space information that one or more client devices and/or base stations may use to determine which white spaces are available for use, e.g., for wireless networking. Because of the information, low-threshold sensing is not needed by the client devices and/or base stations to know which white spaces are available. The service computes the available white spaces for a given location based upon television transmitter parameters, elevation data, and information received regarding any operational wireless microphones.

    摘要: Techniques for enhancing throughput capacity and/or bandwidth distribution fairness among APs in a wireless network are described. Specifically, a channel frequency profile which includes a center frequency and channel-width (i.e., channel bandwidth) is dynamically assigned to each of one or more APs in a wireless network. The assigned channel frequency profile for each AP is based, at least in part, on the current composition of the wireless network including, its topology and traffic load distribution. In this regard, each AP's channel frequency profile can be continuously or periodically changed such that the entire available frequency spectrum is effectively utilized and/or interference between APs is avoided or limited. This, in turn, enhances the throughput capacity and/or bandwidth distribution fairness of the wireless network.
