Abstract:
1. A mobile computing device, comprising: a radio arranged to communicate information over a wireless link; a link classifier arranged to generate a class parameter for the wireless link based on signal quality measurements of the wireless link; and a data service manager arranged to receive a data service request from an application, receive a data rate parameter associated with the application, the data rate parameter comprises an amount of bandwidth for communicating information over the wireless link, compare the class parameter for the wireless link with a value representing the application to determine whether to grant or deny the data service request, when the data service request would be granted based on the comparison, determine whether the application may communicate information over the wireless link at the data rate parameter based on the class parameter for the wireless link, and generate a control directive for the application granting or denying the data service request at the data rate parameter.
