Dynamic adjustment of quality of service parameters

摘要

A computer-implemented method for dynamic adjustment of quality of service parameters is described. In one embodiment, one or more quality of service (QoS) parameters of a client of a mesh network is set based on an expected bandwidth for the mesh network. An actual bandwidth for the mesh network is measured. One or more QoS parameters of the client is automatically changed in response to the actual bandwidth differing from the expected bandwidth. The change in the QoS parameters may be configured to compensate for the difference between the actual bandwidth and the expected bandwidth.

1. A computer-implemented method for dynamic adjustment of quality of service parameters comprising:
setting one or more quality of service (QoS) parameters of a client of a mesh network based on an expected bandwidth for the mesh network; measuring an actual bandwidth for the mesh network; automatically changing one or more QoS parameters of the client in response to the actual bandwidth differing from the expected bandwidth, the change in the QoS parameters compensating for the difference between the actual bandwidth and the expected bandwidth; scheduling a time to perform a channel switch to an alternate channel in the mesh network; and sending to an associated access point and an associated mobile station in the mesh network a custom information element in an outgoing beacon, the custom information element specifying the alternate channel and the scheduled time when to switch to the alternate channel.
