Abstract:
1. A system, comprising: a computing device; a wireless computing unit; and a network management arrangement (“NMA”) receiving a first signal and a second signal from the computing device; the NMA forwarding the second signal to the unit and receiving a third signal from the unit as an acknowledgment of receipt of the second signal, wherein, the NMA determines a first time value indicative of a difference between a time of receipt of the first signal and a time of receipt of the second signal, and wherein, the NMA compares the first time value to a first threshold range to generate a first output data, and wherein, the NMA determines a second time value indicative of a difference between a time of transmission of the second signal and a time of receipt of the third signal, and wherein, the NMA compares the second time value to a second threshold range to generate second output data, and wherein, the NMA executes a response procedure as a function of at least one of the first and second output data.
