REDUCING TIME PERIOD OF DATA TRAVEL 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 evaluating the service provided by the base station, and may be capable of determining whether or not any action should consequently be performed. Examples of an action may include an action which may not necessarily affect en-route data packets such as outputting a report, and/or an action which may affect en-route data packets such as delaying packets, not delaying packets, and/or stopping the delaying of packets. An action which affects data packets may or may not affect data packets uniformly. An action may or may not result in an improvement in quality of user experience.

主权项

1. A method of reducing a time period for a packet to travel to a respective user equipment in a wireless network comprising:
estimating a parameter indicative of service by a base station; at least partly based on said estimated parameter, determining whether or not to delay arrival at the base station of at least one other data packet so as to reduce the time period for the packet to travel to the respective user equipment; and if determined to delay, delaying of arrival of the at least one other data packet.
