CONGESTION IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

Examples of methods, systems, and computer program products relating to supervising data in a wireless network are disclosed. At least part of a system may be located between a packet data network and a base station, and/or may be at least logically separate from the base station. The system may be capable of performing a method of observing congestion in a wireless network, comprising: for a plurality of user equipments associated during a time span with a set comprising one or more groups served by one or more wireless transmitters, estimating parameters indicative of service to respective user equipments; comparing the estimated parameters or a function of the estimated parameters to one or more thresholds; determining whether or not said set is congested at least partly based on a result of said comparing; and if determined that said set is congested, outputting a report of said congestion. An estimated one of said parameters for a user equipment in said plurality, may be a round trip time.
