Abstract
A carrier sense relationship and an interference relationship between logical links in a shared, broadcast, medium network are determined. Bandwidth for each of the links is estimated based on the carrier sense relationship and the interference relationship.
Claims18
A method of estimating bandwidth for logical links in a wireless network using a shared, broadcast, medium, the method comprising:
- receiving network metric measurements from nodes in the logical links;
- determining a carrier sense relationship between the logical links from one or more of the network measurements;
- determining an interference relationship between the logical links from one or more of the network measurements, wherein the interference relationship is independent from the carrier sense relationship;
- and
- using the determined carrier sense relationship and the determined interference relationship to calculate an estimated bandwidth for each of the links.
An apparatus operable to estimate bandwidth for logical links in a wireless network using a shared, broadcast, medium, the apparatus comprising:
- a data store storing network metric measurements for nodes in the network;
- and
- a processor determining a carrier sense relationship and an interference relationship between the logical links from the measurements, the processor using the determined carrier sense and interference relationships to calculate an estimated bandwidth for each of the links, wherein the interference relationship is independent from the carrier sense.
A computer readable storage device storing executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method of estimating bandwidth for logical links in a wireless network using a shared, broadcast, medium, the method comprising:
- receiving network metric measurements from nodes in the logical links;
- determining a carrier sense relationship between the logical links from one or more of the network measurements;
- determining an interference relationship between the logical links from one or more of the network measurements, wherein the interference relationship is independent from the carrier sense relationship;
- and
- using the determined carrier sense relationship and the determined interference relationship to calculate an estimated bandwidth for each of the links.
