SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS FOR WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK ACCESS POINTS

摘要

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between an element manager and a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP). The WLAN AP may be configured with one or more counters. The one or more counters may measure events, such as data transmission and/or reception at the WLAN AP or statistics based on association of user equipment (UE) with the WLAN AP. The element manager may be configured to read one or more of these counters and compute one or more values based on the values read from the one or more counters. The element manager may be configured to communicate the one or more computed values to a network manager. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

1. An element manager comprising:
storage circuitry to store a first value and a second value associated with data volume; a timer that is to elapse after a predefined period; and an integration reference point agent, coupled with the timer and the storage circuitry, to:
begin the timer,detect that the timer has elapsed,read, based on the detection that the timer has elapsed, a value of a counter associated with data transmission or reception by a wireless local area network access point,compare the value of the counter to the second value, andupdate the first value based on the comparison of the value of the counter to the second value.
