Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to facilitate data transmission are disclosed. An examples apparatus includes a schedule controller to determine a first time corresponding to an end of a window for a data exchange; a data packet controller to determine a second time corresponding to an acknowledgement send during the window; a link performance calculator to calculate link performance based on the first time and the second time; and an interface to transmit the link performance to a network configuration entity.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- interface circuitry to transmit a link performance to a network configuration entity;
- computer readable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the computer readable instructions to at least:
- calculate the link performance between a first device and a second device in a network based on (a) a first time corresponding to an end of a window for a data exchange as defined in a global schedule for devices operating in the network and (b) a second time corresponding to an acknowledgement sent during the window.
A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions to cause at least one processor circuit to at least:
- calculate link performance between a first device and a second device based on (a) a first time corresponding to an end of a window for a data exchange and (b) a second time corresponding to an acknowledgement sent during the window;
- and
- cause adjustment of a global schedule by causing transmission of the link performance to a network configuration entity.
A method comprising:
- calculating, by executing an instruction with at least one processor circuit, link performance based on (a) a first time corresponding to an end of a window for a data exchange and (b) a second time corresponding to an acknowledgement sent during the window;
- and
- causing adjustment of a duration of the window for future data exchange by transmitting the link performance to a network configuration entity.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for calculating a link performance based on (a) a first time corresponding to an end of a window for a data exchange and (b) a second time corresponding to an acknowledgement sent during the window;
- and
- means for transmitting the link performance to a network configuration entity.
