Abstract
A method for providing quality of service (QoS) aware, wireless point to multi-point telecommunications in a telecommunications system. The telecommunications system includes: a wireless base station coupled to a first data network; one or more host workstations coupled to the first data network; one or more subscriber customer premise equipment (CPE) stations in wireless communications with the wireless base station over a shared bandwidth using a packet-centric protocol; one or more subscriber workstations coupled to each of the subscriber CPE stations over a second network. The method includes allocating shared bandwidth among the subscriber CPE stations in a manner to optimize end-user QoS. The method includes analyzing and scheduling IP flows over the shared wireless bandwidth. This includes identifying the IP flows; characterizing the IP flows; classifying the IP flows; and prioritizing the IP flows.

13. A method for providing quality of service (QoS) aware, wireless point to multi-point (PtMP) communications services over a communications system, wherein said communications system comprises:
- a wireless base station coupled to a first data network;
one or more host workstations coupled to said first data network;
one or more subscriber customer premise equipment (CPE) stations in wireless communication with said wireless base station over a shared wireless bandwidth using a packet-centric protocol, which is not circuit-centric;
one or more subscriber workstations coupled to each of said subscriber CPE stations over a second network, said method comprising;
allocating said shared wireless bandwidth among said subscriber CPE stations in a manner to optimize end-user application QoS, not asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) QoS; and
analyzing and scheduling IP flows over said shared wireless bandwidth. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A method for providing quality of service (QoS) aware, wireless point to multi-point (PtMP) communications services over a communications system, wherein said communications system comprises a wireless access point base station coupled to a first data network and one or more wireless network stations in wireless communication with said wireless access point base station over a shared wireless bandwidth using a packet-centric protocol, which is not circuit-centric, said method comprising:
-
at least one of allocating said shared wireless bandwidth in a downstream direction from said wireless access point base station to said one or more wireless network stations and allocating said shared wireless bandwidth in an upstream direction from said one or more wireless network stations to said wireless access point base station; and
analyzing and scheduling IP flows over said shared wireless bandwidth, comprising;
determining whether an age of a packet of a new IP flow to be communicated over said shared wireless bandwidth is older than a threshold age;
anticipating client application IP flow discards based on said age of said packet;
determining a QoS requirement for said new IP flow; and
determining a subscriber identification for one of said one or more stations associated with said new IP flow. - View Dependent Claims (42)
