One-sided quality of service mirroring

Abstract

The invention relates to a one-way quality of service mirroring. An electronic device may receive a plurality of uplink packets or frames associated with a second electronic device. The electronic device may then unilaterally compute QoS for the plurality of uplink packets or frames based at least in part on information included within or associated with the group. Further, the electronic device may provide a plurality of uplink packets or frames to a third electronic device. Next, the electronic device may receive a plurality of downlink packets or frames associated with a third electronic device. Further, the electronic device may provide a plurality of downlink packets or frames to a second electronic device, where the further plurality of uplink packets or frames and / or the plurality of downlink packets or frames have priorities corresponding to the calculated QoS.

Description

technical field [0001] The described embodiments relate to techniques in which an access point unilaterally provides quality of service (QoS) mirroring during communication with an electronic device. Background technique [0002] Many electronic devices are capable of wireless communication with other electronic devices. For example, these electronic devices may include a network subsystem that implements a network interface for a cellular network (UMTS, LTE, etc.), a wireless local area network, or a WLAN (e.g., a wireless network such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard or Bluetooth from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group in Kirkland, WA TM described in ) and / or another type of wireless network. [0003] Many WLANs compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard have features that can improve QoS. Packets or frames can be marked with different QoS levels and can be treated differently depending on their QoS level. For example, an ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When a packet or frame has the wrong label or when the label is lost or stripped during transmission through the network, the packet or frame may be assigned to a queue with the wrong priority, which may degrade communication performance (such as latency), especially for real-time application
