| 摘要 |
Access control apparatus is described for use in a communications network. The network is of a type, such as IEEE802.11e, configured to manage traffic dependent upon the nature of communication. The nature of communication is managed in classes, each class of communication having associated therewith at least one communications management criterion. The apparatus comprises storage means storing at least one communications management criterion for configuring management of communication in the network, for each of a plurality of sub-ranges of a range of number of actively communicating devices in the network, active device measurement means for determining a measure for the active devices in said network, sub-range selection means for determining, on the basis of the measure, the sub-range within which said measure belongs, data retrieval means for retrieving said at least one communications management criterion for said sub-range, and communications configuration means for configuring communications in said network in accordance with said at least one communications management criterion. |
