Abstract
An exemplary method of controlling communications includes determining a total congestion window size for a router device. An allocation of at least a portion of the determined total congestion window size to allocated at least one mobile station that communicates with the router device over a wireless link is determined based on the determined total congestion window size. The determined allocation is then reported to a source of a communication intended for the at least one mobile station.
