Method and apparatus for relating to quality of service in wireless networks
First Claim
1. A method, for allowing an application of a wireless communications device to adapt to a dynamic of a wireless telecommunications network, comprising:
- determining, by a processor, in response to a trigger associated with a frequency of operation of an element in the wireless telecommunications network, using data comprising radio-frequency (RF) information relating to operation of the element of the wireless telecommunications network, a dynamic operational characteristic of the wireless telecommunications network;
making available, to an application of the wireless communications device, the dynamic operational characteristic for use by the application to adapt operation of the application based on the dynamic operational characteristic; and
updating the dynamic operational characteristic at a timing based on a volatility of the RF information.

Abstract
A method for adapting quality of service to dynamics of a wireless telecommunications network is provided. The method includes collecting data relating to operation of an element in the network, wherein the collected data comprises radio-frequency (RF) data relating to operation of the network. The method also includes pre-calculating, from the collected data, a dynamic operational characteristic of the network, wherein the pre-calculating includes pre-calculating from the collected data to obtain a geometrical determination based on a geographical location of a wireless communications device within the network. The method further includes making available the pre-calculated characteristic of the network to an application of the device using the network, including storing the characteristic at a pre-calculation server accessible by the device so the device can selectively retrieve the characteristic, and updating the characteristic at a frequency based on a trigger related to volatility of the RF data being collected.
