Apparatus, system and method of controlling data flow over a wireless communication link with credit allocation

A system comprising:

• a device comprising:
• one or more antennas;
• a radio to receive, via said one or more antennas, a data flow of a stream of data from a host over a wireless communication link, the stream of data including data to be delivered to a plurality of endpoints;
• and
• a controller to control said data flow by providing to said host a plurality of credit allocations corresponding to said plurality of endpoints, wherein said controller is to determine a particular credit allocation corresponding to a particular end point based at least on an estimated link delay of said wireless communication link, and an estimated delivery rate of delivering data from a buffer of said host to said particular endpoint.

A method comprising:

• receiving a stream of data from a first device at a second device over a wireless communication link, the stream of data including data to be delivered to a plurality of endpoints;
• allocating, at said second device, a plurality of credit allocations corresponding to said plurality of endpoints, wherein said allocating comprises determining a particular credit allocation corresponding to a particular end point based at least on an estimated link delay of said wireless communication link, and an estimated delivery rate of delivering data from a buffer of said second device to said particular endpoint;
• and
• transmitting from said second device to said first device one or more messages including said plurality of credit allocations.

A product including a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a machine, result in:

• receiving a stream of data from a first device at a second device over a wireless communication link, the stream of data including data to be delivered to a plurality of endpoints;
• allocating, at said second device, a plurality of credit allocations corresponding to said plurality of endpoints, wherein said allocating comprises determining a particular credit allocation corresponding to a particular end point based at least on an estimated link delay of said wireless communication link, and an estimated delivery rate of delivering data from a buffer of said second device to said particular endpoint;
• and
• transmitting from said second device to said first device one or more messages including said plurality of credit allocations.
