Claim Text:
1. A method to determine a download throughput of a wireless connection, the method comprising: including a first heading packet and a first trailing packet in a first compound probe; transmitting the first compound probe from a source to a wireless destination by transmitting the first heading packet and the first trailing packet back-to-back without a separation between a last bit of the first heading packet and a first bit of the first trailing packet; including a second heading packet and a second trailing packet in a second compound probe; transmitting the second compound probe from the source to the wireless destination by transmitting the second heading packet and the second trailing packet back-to-back without a separation between a last bit of the second heading packet and a first bit of the second trailing packet; determining a first average intra-packet gap (AIPG) and a first minimum intra-packet gap (MIPG) from the first compound probe; determining a second MIPG from the second compound probe; and computing the download throughput from the source to the wireless destination based on the first AIPG, the first MIPG, and the second MIPG.
