摘要:
In an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein logic encoded in at least one tangible media for execution and when executed operable to receive a packet. The logic determines a client associated with the packet. The client associated with a service set, and the service set associated with a transmitter. The logic determines a drop probability for the selected client determines a current packet arrival rate for the selected client and determines whether to enqueue or drop the packet based on the drop probability for the selected client and the current packet arrival rate associated with the selected client. The drop probability is based on a packet arrival rate and virtual queue length for the, which is based on a packet arrival rate and virtual queue length for the service set that is based on a packet arrival rate and virtual queue length for the transmitter.

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.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems directed to facilitating troubleshooting wireless connectivity issues in a wireless network. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, either a diagnostic supplicant in the wireless client or a diagnostic manager initiates a troubleshooting protocol between the diagnostic supplicant and the diagnostic manager over a diagnostic link in response to one or more events. In one embodiment, after the diagnostic supplicant establishes a link to a diagnostic manager via a diagnostic link, the diagnostic supplicant generates and transmits a problem report to the diagnostic manager. The problem report initiates a troubleshooting protocol between the diagnostic manager and the diagnostic supplicant.

An infrastructure assisted network transition scheme is provided. In a multi-mode wireless communication device, handover threshold data is received from a management server associated with a first wireless network comprising one or more wireless access points. The multi-mode wireless communication device receives signals from the one or more wireless access point devices of the first wireless network and generates data representing the received signals. The multi-mode wireless communication device analyzes the data representing the received signals with respect to the handover threshold data to determine when the multi-mode wireless communication device should initiate hand-in to the first wireless network and when to initiate hand-out from the first wireless network to the second wireless network. Functions are provided at the management server to enable the generation of the handover threshold data from network configuration information associated with the first wireless network.

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.
