Application-specific airtime fairness in WLANS (wireless local access networks) based on time sensitivity of applications

Abstract:

Network packets are pre-processed and stored in network queues based on time sensitivity and other factors. More specifically, a specific application associated with a specific session of the network packets locally at the access point is determined. An ATR is adjusted based on a priority of the application with respect to time sensitivity. Other factors include throughput capability of a wireless device.
