METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION INDICATIVE OF TRAFFIC DELAY OF A WIRELESS LINK
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- wirelessly receiving a measurement request message from a remote station (STA), said measurement request message indicating a plurality of bins corresponding to a plurality of exponentially distributed delay intervals;
in response to the measurement request message, measuring delays of communications traffic over a wireless link;
based on said measuring, generating histogram information, the histogram information including a count corresponding to each of said delay intervals; and
wirelessly transmitting a measurement report message to the remote STA, the measurement report message including the histogram information.

18. An article comprising a machine-accessible medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
-
in response to a measurement request message received from a remote station (STA), measure delays of communications traffic over a wireless link; and based on said measuring, generate histogram information, the histogram information including a count corresponding to each of said delay intervals. wherein the measurement request message indicates a plurality of bins corresponding to a plurality of exponentially distributed delay intervals. - View Dependent Claims (20)
