Embodiment Construction

[0024] System Overview

[0025] figure 1 The outline of the network system according to the first embodiment is illustrated. A user's home 1 or other local network environment is shown, which contains many networked components. A combined routing and wireless access point device 3 such as a BT home hub or other similar combined routing and wireless access point device (hereinafter referred to as a hub 3) generates and maintains a wireless network (WLAN) 5 to enable a home network environment Data connectivity between multiple user devices 7 (such as laptops, computers, smart phones, and tablets) in a computer. For ease of illustration, four exemplary devices are shown, two laptops 7a, 7b and two smartphones 7c, 7d. To better illustrate the first embodiment, the laptops 7a and 7b are exemplary devices of regular users of the WLAN 5 and the smartphones 7c and 7d are visitors of the WLAN 5 .

Abstract

In a WLAN with many concurrent users, a wireless access point is configured with information relating to a set of priority devices and when network utilization exceeds a particular threshold, the wireless access point is arranged to identify a priority device connected to the WLAN, determine a policy for reconfiguring the WLAN to enable better performance to the priority device, and offer the improvements to the priority device. The changes to the WLAN are only applied if a user of the priority device opts to apply the changes thereby changing the WLAN performance in accordance with user requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wireless networks, and in particular, to methods and apparatus for prioritizing access to network resources when network links are experiencing congestion. Background technique [0002] Wi-Fi and Home Networking [0003] In wireless communications, the IEEE 802.11 family of standards known as Wi-Fi is a popular protocol for allowing devices to communicate wirelessly using radio wave transmissions. A group of devices that all communicate via a common wireless access point is known as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). [0004] The wireless access point also typically interfaces with a wired network for connecting to wired devices using the Ethernet protocol (IEEE 802.3) and for connecting to remote networks and resources via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and then via a wide area network such as the Internet (such as file and video servers) in combination with a wide area network (WAN) interface such as an xDSL ...
