QUALITY OF SERVICE PROVISIONING THROUGH ADAPTABLE AND NETWORK REGULATED CHANNEL ACCESS PARAMETERS

摘要

One or more system and/or method of dynamically setting values of Channel Access Parameters employing a Load Supervision Manager entity, a Quality of Service Parameters Manager entity, and an Access Point. The entities work with the Access Point and continuously monitors network loading conditions and setting Channel Access Parameters values in response to network loading conditions. The Load Supervision Manager is a controlling and/or supervisory entity that sits at a network level receives information from the QoS Parameters Manager which sits at a subnet level, and judges prevailing loading conditions. The prevailing loading conditions include such factors as the number of Mobile Nodes and the applications or ACs they are running on in each subnet. The QoS Parameters Manager assesses the possible near future loading condition in each subnet including monitoring the hand-off Mobile Nodes and issues directives to QoS Parameters Managers.
