Abstract
A methods and apparatuses of adaptively capping data throughput of client devices associated with a wireless network are disclosed. One method includes monitoring an air-time per bit efficiency of each client device associated with the wireless network. A data throughput cap for each client device is adaptively determined based on the air-time per bit efficiency of the client device.
Claims10
A method of adaptively capping data throughput of client devices associated with a wireless network, comprising:
- monitoring an air-time per bit efficiency of each client device associated with the wireless network;
- adaptively determining and selecting a data throughput cap from a plurality of data throughput caps for each client device based on the air-time per bit efficiency of the client device;
- wherein the air-time per bit efficiency is determined from a data rate, an order of modulation and a number of retries;
- and
- further comprising determining the data throughput cap based on transmission data rates of links associated with the client device, a number of hops associated with the client device, and a probability of successful transmission of data packets of the client device.
A wireless network adapted to cap data throughput of client devices associated with the wireless network, the wireless network comprising a plurality of access nodes, comprising:
- each access nodes configured to monitor an air-time per bit efficiency of each client device associated with the wireless network;
- each access nodes configured to adaptively determine and select a data throughput cap from a plurality of data throughput caps for each client device based on the air-time per bit efficiency of the client device;
- wherein the air-time per bit efficiency is determined from a data rate, an order of modulation and a number of retries;
- and
- further comprising determining the data throughput cap based on transmission data rates of links associated with the client device, a number of hops associated with the client device, and a probability of successful transmission of data packets of the client device.
