Abstract
A method for problematic station detection featuring problematic station detection algorithm based on calculating the amount of time a station is wasting.
Claims18
A method for managing wireless communication network, comprising:
- detecting a first wireless client whose wireless connection to the network induces station-wasted time by one or more wireless client connections to the network, and reallocating wireless bandwidth to either the first wireless client or to other wireless clients bases on the station-wasted time,
- wherein the station-wasted time is calculated by summing time of all retransmissions for which the first wireless client did not received an ACK signal, and
- wherein the time for each retransmission for which the first wireless client did not received an ACK signal is equal to a packet's transmission time plus time wasted on waiting for receiving the ACK signal acknowledging a reception of the packet.
A wireless communication wireless network appliance, comprising:
- network management device is configured to detect a first wireless client whose wireless connection induces station-wasted time by one or more wireless clients connections to the network, and to reallocate wireless bandwidth to either the first wireless client or to other wireless clients bases on the station-wasted time,
- wherein the station-wasted time is calculated by summing time of all retransmissions for which the first wireless client did not received an ACK signal, and
- wherein the time for each retransmission for which the first wireless client did not received an ACK signal is equal to a packet's transmission time plus time wasted on waiting for receiving the ACK signal acknowledging a reception of the packet.
