摘要： Systems and methods preserve application identification information on handover in a communication network. End user quality of experience is improved by determining applications associated with communications to and from the end user. The applications may include application classes and specific applications. The application information is used to schedule packets such that the end user quality of experience is improved for that application. When the end user is handed over between wireless access nodes, the access nodes transfer application information so that the improved end user quality of experience is maintained.

摘要： Systems and methods provide a weight-based scheduling system that incorporates end-user application awareness and can be used with scheduling groups that contain data streams from heterogeneous applications. Individual data queues within a scheduling group can be created based on application class, specific application, individual data streams or some combination thereof. Application information and Application Factors (AF) are used to modify scheduler weights to differentiate between data streams assigned to a scheduling group. Dynamic AF settings may adjust relative importance of user applications to maximize user Quality of Experience (QoE) in response to recurring network patterns, one-time events, application characteristics, protocol characteristics, device characteristics, service level agreements, or combinations thereof. Scheduling weights may be dynamic and incorporate the notions of “duration neglect” and “recency effect” in an end-user's perception of video quality in order to optimally manage video traffic during periods of congestion.

摘要： A communication station, such as a base station or access point, has multiple backhaul options and distributes backhaul data between the available backhaul options. The communication station includes a transceiver for transmitting and receiving data with user equipments, multiple backhaul interface modules, and a backhaul distribution module arranged for monitoring demand for backhaul bandwidth and distributing data over the backhauls based on the demand for backhaul bandwidth. Additional modules for user data and control plane processing may be included with the user/control distinction used in distributing data over the backhauls. The backhaul options may include a preferred backhaul and an alternate backhaul. Distributing data over the backhauls may be based, for example, on applications associated with the data, financial cost, delay, robustness, computational resources, and/or additional security associated with using a particular backhaul.

摘要： Systems and methods provide a parameterized scheduling system that incorporates congestion detection and end-user application awareness and can be used with scheduling groups that contain data streams from heterogeneous applications. Congestion can be detected at multiple domains. Congestions can be detected using demand for communications, measure of resource usage in the communication device, or performance of the communication device. Congestions can also be detected using measures of protocol delay. The detected information can be used for scheduling transmission of the packets. Quality of Experience (QoE) for users can be maximized by efficient control responses to detected congestion.
