Estimating the term…
Criteria-driven methods and a framework are disclosed that facilitate configuration/selection of one or more wireless network interfaces/networks for carrying out wireless communications on a computing device. The wireless network interface selection and coexistence driver architecture described herein facilitates automated selection of a particular mode of network access based upon status information provided by a set of network interface drivers associated with particular network interfaces and wireless technologies. Furthermore, a criteria-driven interface/network selection framework is described that is potentially invoked in a variety of situations including, but not limited to, when an application is invoked or to select another interface/network to avoid detected interference.
A method for selecting a wireless technology among multiple available wireless technologies on a computing device for establishing a network connection comprising the steps of:
A computer readable media including computer-executable instructions that facilitate selecting a wireless technology among multiple available wireless technologies on a computing device for establishing a network connection, the computer-executable instructions facilitating performing the steps of:
A computing device including an infrastructure supporting selecting a network and interface, from a plurality of potential networks and interfaces, and wherein the interfaces potentially incorporate a variety of available wireless technologies, on a computing device for establishing a network connection, the computing device comprising:
