Abstract
Embodiments of methods and apparatus for providing information indicative of traffic delay of a wireless link are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims20
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.
2 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a receiver to wirelessly receive 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;
- a monitor to, in response to the received measurement request message, generate delay measurements of communications traffic over a wireless link;
- and
- a generator to, based on said measuring, generate histogram information, the histogram information including a count corresponding to each of said delay intervals;
1 more element
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.
1 more element
The article of claim 19, wherein the instructions, when executed by the machine, further cause the machine to wirelessly transmit a measurement report message to the remote STA, the measurement report message including the histogram information.
