Patent ID: 7269406

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving, by a reporting node, a measurement request message from a request node, said measurement request message comprising a bin increment mode value corresponding to a bin increment mode; monitoring, in response to the measurement request message, network traffic via a wireless link for a duration of one or more of a voice transmission or a video transmission; and generating histogram information indicative of delay associated with a wireless link utilizing a plurality of bins having one or more bin increments corresponding to the bin increment mode, the one or more bin increments derived from the following equations: B 0 : Delay<i 0 , for i =0; B i : i 0 +(2 i−1 *Δi )≦Delay< i 0 +(2 i *Δi ), for 0 <i <N−1; B N−1 : i 0 +(2 i−1 *Δi )≦Delay, for i=N −1, where i is a bin number, N is a number of bins, Δi is a bin duration, and i 0 is a bin offset.
