A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may select a first type of buffer status information or a second type of buffer status information. The first type of buffer status information may indicate an amount of data buffered and the second type of buffer status information has less bits and is a different format than the first type of buffer status information. The WTRU may select, subsequent to a number of subframes of a transmission of buffer status information of a first type, buffer status information of the first type for transmission.

A device may identify a plurality of first values associated with network traffic of a label-switched path of a plurality of label-switched paths. The device may determine an adjustment policy based on the plurality of first values. The adjustment policy may include one or more factors associated with a plurality of second values. The plurality of second values may be determined based on the plurality of first values. The device may implement the adjustment policy in association with the label-switched path. A bandwidth reservation of the label-switched path may be adjusted based on the adjustment policy. The adjustment policy may be implemented for fewer than all of the plurality of label-switched paths.

A more efficient network can be achieved by leveraging an adaptive dejitter buffer. The dejitter buffer can be dynamically adjusted based off a network data analysis. A communication handover can be adjusted or shifted based on voice inactivity data related to a forecasted punctuation. The dejitter buffer memory/depth of a mobile device can also be adjusted in accordance with receiving a delay interruption length associated with another mobile device. Thereafter, the dejitter buffer memory can be filled with voice packet data to decrease a packet delay variation at the mobile device.

Systems and related methods include node directed management of multicast traffic within a wireless mesh network. A wireless mesh network may include a plurality of mesh nodes and a central server in communication with at least one of the mesh nodes of the plurality of mesh nodes. The central server may be configured to generate one or more rules for at least one of the mesh nodes to instruct a change in a pre-routing parameter in a packet header based on received channel state information. The central server may include a rules-based engine configured to generate and convey one or more traffic shaping rules in response to sensing traffic conditions. The position of received multicast packets in a packet order may be modified.

A network device receives, from a client device, a request to perform a network speed test of a network connecting the client device and the network device. The network device conducts a trial test, involving data delivery between the network device and the client device, to determine an approximate capacity of the network. The network device selects an optimum data size based on results of the trial test, and selects a number of threads needed to saturate the network based on the results of the trial test. The network device controls conducting of the network speed test, using a control thread from the network device to the client device, wherein the network speed test utilizes the optimum data size and the selected number of threads.

Embodiments are directed towards employing a plurality of tag states to control tag suspension based on an asynchronous process that proactively monitors tag performance, response times, and latency. Tags may be in one of multiple states. Tags in a NORMAL state or a FLAGGED state may be enabled for deployment, and tags in a SUSPENSION A state or a SUSPENSION B state may be blocked from deployment. A tag's state may change based on monitoring the tag's latency to determine if latent events occur. Tag latency may be asynchronously monitored independent of web page requests. If latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from NORMAL to FLAGGED, from FLAGGED to SUSPENSION A, or from SUSPENSION B to SUSPENSION_A. If non-latent events occur, then the tag's state may change from SUSPENSION B to FLAGGED or from FLAGGED to NORMAL, while a tag's state may change from SUSPENSION_A to SUSPENSION_B after a predetermined time period.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein a communication control program for causing a computer to execute processing includes, executing a prescribed command at a specified transmission cycle, acquiring a start time at which the execution is started and an end time at which the execution is ended, performing the execution and the acquisition while changing the transmission cycle, and specifying a transmission cycle at which an error between a difference between the end time and the start time and the specified transmission cycle is within a prescribed range.

In one aspect, a method includes performing, by a wireless station, a fine timing measurement (FTM) procedure that includes exchanging one or more FTM messages between the wireless station and an access point to obtain a first round-trip time (RTT) between the wireless station and the access point. The method also includes performing, by the wireless station, a non-FTM procedure to obtain a second RTT between the wireless station and the access point. The wireless station then calculates a turn-around calibration factor (TCF) estimate of the access point based on a difference between the second RTT and the first RTT. Data representative of the TCF estimate of the access point may then be sent to a server.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method comprising providing services over a network to a device, and constructing device capability and usage profiles. A level of service quality for the device is adjusted by adjusting a latency criterion regarding connection of the device to the network; adjusting a speed of transmissions to or from the device; and altering a routing of transmissions to or from the device. The network can be partitioned so that the adjusted service quality level is provided by a network portion having a predetermined level of resources. The adjusted service quality level can comprise a first level while the device is active and a second level while the device is inactive; the first level is higher than the second level. The first and second levels are lower than a service quality level provided by another network portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.

This invention provides apparatuses, methods, and systems for classification of a web client's network bandwidth by a web server in real time over the Internet. The web server, based upon the round trip time (RTT) taken to establish the TCP connection with the web client, classifies the network bandwidth. The RTT for establishment of the TCP connection using a 3-way handshake is stored on the web server on most modern Operating Systems and can be fetched on demand by the web server for a given connection. A web application on the web server could then use this bandwidth classification to serve varied content to the web client, such as a light or heavy web page depending on the level of the bandwidth.
