Abstract
Active wireless devices in communication with an access node of a wireless communication system are detected and prioritized, and a group of the active wireless devices is selected. Data is provided to each selected wireless device, a burstiness metric is received based on the provided data, and a burstiness profile of the wireless communication system is determined.
Claims20
A method of determining a burstiness profile of a wireless communication system, comprising:
- detecting a plurality of active wireless devices in communication with an access node;
- prioritizing the plurality of active wireless devices in a priority order according to prioritization criteria and selecting a group of wireless devices from among the prioritized plurality of active wireless devices, wherein the prioritization criteria comprises a comparison of a duration of time since the plurality of active wireless devices actively communicated with the access node, a signal strength comparison, and a low mobility determination;
- providing data in a first modulation and coding scheme (MCS) to a first wireless device of the selected group;
- receiving a first burstiness metric based on the data from the first wireless device;
- and
- determining a burstiness profile of the wireless communication system based on the first burstiness metric.
