Method And Apparatus For Relating To Quality Of Service In Wireless Networks

摘要

Quality of service is provided, for applications using a wireless network, by adapting the operation of the application to changes in operation of the wireless network, instead of attempting to command the wireless network to adapt to the application. Adaptation is accomplished by collecting pertinent RF data concerning operation of the wireless network and pre-calculating at least one anticipated operational characteristic of that network based on operational dynamics determined from the pre-calculation. Pre-calculation may include trend projection to predict near-term future operation expected from the wireless network. The pre-calculated operational characteristic is provided to the application so that operation of the application may adapt to the anticipated dynamic variations in operation of the wireless network.
