SYSTEM FOR REGULATING WIRELESS DEVICE OPERATIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A system for managing the device operation rules that govern a device's operation, includes a profiling server configured to receive data from one or more data sources and a processor to aggregate and analyze the received data to dynamically generate profiles for distribution to a plurality of devices. The devices, which are in communication with the profiling server, being responsive to profiles generated by the profiling server to create, update, or modify the said operation rules and communicate with the profiling server the performance of the said profiles, the said rules, and/or the said device. The system allows the device operation rules to be dynamically updated in accordance with changing network conditions, and also can provide analytics information to third parties.

1. A system for regulating wireless device operation in wireless networks, comprising:
a plurality of distributed wireless devices each having a profiling client resident thereon for collecting data about the local wireless operating environment for the associated wireless device, said wireless device(s) being configured to communicate data relating to said wireless device operating environment back to the profiling servers(s); one or more profiling servers configured to receive data from the profiling clients and comprising one or more processors configured to dynamically aggregate and analyze the data received from the profiling clients to generate profiles for distribution by the profiling server(s) to a plurality of wireless devices; wherein the wireless devices are responsive to said distributed profiles generated from the data received from the profiling clients to govern their wireless operations; wherein said wireless devices operate in an environment in which access points are able to broadcast quality of service ratings to the wireless devices before the connect, which indicate an estimation of the quality of service that could be received should they connect; and wherein the profiling server(s) are further configured to generate profiles which guide what quality of service measures or ratings access points should indicate that they are able to provide to the wireless devices.
