Abstract
Described herein are techniques related to wireless communication systems that may implement microwave backhaul for connectivity between network elements deployed by the wireless communication systems. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- at least one carrier network;
- and
- a device associated with the system, the device including at least a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to:
- select, from a plurality of traffic paths within the at least one carrier network, a traffic path based on a quality of service function,
- wherein the quality of service function is Qi=Q(di,ii,li,ri)=ri*(wd*e−di/D+wj*e−j1/1+wl*e−li/L), where ri is the mean service availability of the carrier network i, di, ii and li are the mean delay, mean jitter, and mean frame loss rate of the carrier network i, respectively, d, i, and l represent values of the frame delay, jitter, and frame loss rate, respectively, and wd, wj, and wl are the weights of delay, jitter, and frame loss rate, respectively.

A system comprising:
- a plurality of carrier networks;
- and
- a device associated with the system, the device including at least a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to:
- identify a plurality of unique traffic paths each comprising a plurality of carrier networks selected from the plurality of carrier networks, and
- select one of the plurality of unique traffic paths based on a quality of service function,
- wherein the quality of service function is Qi=Q(di,ii,li,ri)=ri*(wd*e−di/D+wj*e−ji/J+wl*e−li/L), where ri is the mean service availability of the carrier network i, di, ji and li are the mean delay, mean jitter, and mean frame loss rate of the carrier network i, respectively, d, i, and l represent values of the frame delay, litter, and frame loss rate, respectively, and wd, wj, and wl are the weights of delay, jitter, and frame loss rate, respectively.

A method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of unique traffic paths each comprising a plurality of carrier networks selected from the plurality of carrier networks;
- and
- selecting one of the plurality of unique traffic paths based on a quality of service function,
- wherein the quality of service function is Qi=Q(di,ii,li,ri)=ri*(wd*e−di/D+wj*e−ji/J+wl*e−li/L), where ri is the mean service availability of the carrier network i, di, ii and li are the mean delay, mean litter, and mean frame loss rate of the carrier network i, respectively, d, i, and l represent values of the frame delay, litter, and frame loss rate, respectively, and wd, wj, and wl are the weights of delay, jitter, and frame loss rate, respectively.
