Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a reporting node, a measurement request message from a request node via a wireless link, said measurement request message comprising a bin increment mode value corresponding to an exponential bin increment mode; transmitting, by the reporting node, via the wireless link, one or more data frames to the request node in response to the received measurement request message; monitoring, by the reporting node, the wireless link for one or more acknowledgement frames transmitted by the request node in response to the one or more data frames; and generating, by the reporting node, histogram information indicative of delay associated with the wireless link based on the one or more transmitted data frames and the one or more received acknowledgement frames by utilizing a plurality of bins having one or more bin increments corresponding to the bin increment mode, wherein the one or more bin increments are derived from the following equations:
