Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and network device for enforcing uplink airtime fairness in wireless local area networks. The disclosed network device receives usage limits associated with transmissions from one or more client devices. The client devices transmit packets to the network device via one or more uplink wireless mediums. The disclosed network device further collects wireless medium usage times associated with the client devices, and calculates a size for transmission windows corresponding to the client devices based on the wireless medium usage times and the usage limits. The transmission windows can be TCP advertisement windows whose size determines a rate of transmissions permitted over the wireless medium. Then, the disclosed network device sets the transmission window to the calculated size.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a network device and/or method for computing coverage set and resource allocations in wireless networks. The disclosed network device selects a radio frequency subdomain in a wireless network, and further determines a coverage set for the selected radio frequency subdomain. The coverage set includes a subset of access nodes in the selected radio frequency domain. Moreover, a respective access node in the radio frequency subdomain satisfies one of (a) the respective access node is a member of the coverage set, and (b) the respective access node is covered by at least one member of the coverage set with a signal strength stronger than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a network device and/or method for computing coverage set and resource allocations in wireless networks. The disclosed network device receives a radio frequency subdomain and a coverage set for the radio frequency subdomain in a wireless network. Furthermore, the disclosed network device selects a capacity mode or a coverage mode as an operating mode of the radio frequency subdomain in response to a measure of network activity satisfying a predetermined condition. In addition, the disclosed network device performs radio resource management in the radio frequency subdomain based on the selected operating mode.

Abstract: A method includes determining a maximum amount of unaccounted-for data to be transmitted by a particular client device associated with an access point. The maximum amount of unaccounted-for data may be based on characteristics associated with data received at an access point from one or more client devices. The maximum amount of unaccounted-for data may be based on a total number of client devices associated with an access point. The maximum amount of unaccounted-for data may be based on resources available at the access point.
