Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: obtaining, by a network device on a wireless network, a reserved airtime quota for a client device, wherein the reserved airtime quota indicates a guaranteed minimum amount of usage time associated with the network device; determining a medium usage time for the client device, wherein the medium usage time indicates a current amount of usage time associated with the network device over a predetermined period of time; determining whether a difference between the medium usage time and the reserved airtime quota for the client device exceeds a tolerance limit for the network device; obtaining a rate of correction, wherein the rate of correction is determined when the difference between the medium usage time and the reserved airtime quota for the client device exceeds the tolerance limit, and wherein the rate of correction indicates a limit by which a transmission window size for the client device can be changed between network transmissions; calculating a transmission window size value for the client device using the reserved airtime quota, the medium usage time, and the rate of correction; and setting the transmission window size for the client device to the calculated transmission window size value.
