METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RELATING TO QUALITY OF SERVICE IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method for adapting quality of service to dynamics of a wireless telecommunications network is provided. The method includes collecting data relating to operation of an element in the network, wherein the collected data comprises radio-frequency (RF) data relating to operation of the network. The method also includes pre-calculating, from the collected data, a dynamic operational characteristic of the network, wherein the pre-calculating includes pre-calculating from the collected data to obtain a geometrical determination based on a geographical location of a wireless communications device within the network. The method further includes making available the pre-calculated characteristic of the network to an application of the device using the network, including storing the characteristic at a pre-calculation server accessible by the device so the device can selectively retrieve the characteristic, and updating the characteristic at a frequency based on a trigger related to volatility of the RF data being collected.

主权项

1. A method, for allowing an application of a wireless communications device to adapt to a dynamic of a wireless telecommunications network, comprising:
determining, by a processor, in response to a trigger associated with a frequency of operation of an element in the wireless telecommunications network, using data comprising radio-frequency (RF) information relating to operation of the element of the wireless telecommunications network, a dynamic operational characteristic of the wireless telecommunications network; adjusting an application based on the dynamic operational characteristic; updating the dynamic operational characteristic at a timing based on a volatility of the radio-frequency (RF) information; and determining, based on the volatility of the RF information, a quality of service (QOS) metric for use in the wireless telecommunications network for the wireless communications device.
