Abstract: Determining the location of a radio tag or client station of a wireless network, and the location of coverage holes by receiving from a plurality of wireless stations of the wireless network path loss information of the path loss of one or more location frames received at the respective wireless stations. The location frames transmitted by the radio tag or client station having a pre-defined frame structure. The radio tags and client stations use a common infrastructure for transmitting a location frame configured for radiolocation by path loss measurement. The common infrastructure includes a pre-defined protocol common for both radio tags and client stations for transmitting information for reception by the plurality of stations of the wireless network for radiolocation. The pre-defined protocol includes using the location frame having the pre-defined frame structure.

Abstract: A convergent network with voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) and voice over wireless local area networks (VoWLAN) telephones provides users a way for notifying a network administrator of a quality problem in real time together with an indication of the nature of the quality problem. Upon receipt of the notification, the system takes a snap shot of the current network parameters that are associated with the quality problem and provides network statistics for subsequent analysis and troubleshooting. Other callers participating in a call are also notified of the source of the quality problem. In addition, when streaming video or audio users detect a network quality problem, the problem is marked and tagged to indicate the time and the type of quality problem as it is occurring.
