Abstract:
1. A method of determining quality of service (QoS) metrics in a wireless network, the method comprising: measuring a QoS metric parameter for each traffic type in a sampling operation; storing the measured QoS metric parameter in a memory; updating a moving average QoS metric parameter of a series of QoS metric parameters for at least one traffic type based on both the stored measured QoS metric parameter for a corresponding one of the at least one traffic type, the moving average for the QoS metric parameter that is based on values of a prior series of QoS metric parameters measured and stored prior to the stored measured QoS metric parameter, and a weighting factor; taking a remedial action to avoid reaching a QoS alarm threshold when the moving average QoS metric parameter for the corresponding one of the at least one traffic type reaches the QoS alarm threshold; and adjusting at least one network parameter for the at least one traffic type based at least in part on said updated moving average QoS metric parameter for the at least one traffic type.
