MANAGING WIRELESS WIDE AREA NETWORK BANDWIDTH CONSTRAINTS IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A technique to manage wireless wide area network bandwidth constraints in a communication network includes; prioritizing (400) client activities in a serving access point; detecting (402) that wired domain access is inactive while wireless wide area domain access is active; and utilizing (404) an available bandwidth of the wireless aide area domain access for the highest priority client activities. The lower priority client activities can be address in various different ways including transferring to other available wired access.
