Abstract: A method and system for configuring a wireless router and a wireless communications network includes establishing connectivity between a wireless router and at least one wireline router. Connectivity between the wireless router and a plurality of neighboring wireless routers is established through the wireline router. The wireless router is configured based on information exchanged with the neighboring wireless routers through the wireline router.

Abstract: A method and system for sharing over-allocated bandwidth between different classes of service in a wireless network. Traffic is transmitted for a first service class in excess of bandwidth allocated to the first service class using unused bandwidth allocated to a second class. After transmitting traffic for the first service class in excess of bandwidth allocated to the first service class using unused bandwidth allocated to a second class, traffic for a third service class is transmitted in unused bandwidth remaining in the second service class.

Abstract: A method and system for queuing traffic in a wireless network includes receiving a stream of packets for transmission in the wireless network. Each packet includes a flow identifier and is assigned to one of the plurality of virtual groups based on the flow identifier. The virtual groups include discrete transmission resources. Each packet is queued in an assigned virtual group for transmission in the wireless network.

Abstract: A method and system for managing transmission resources in a wireless communications network includes receiving a packet and determining a time duration for transmission of the packet. A power level for transmission of the packet over the time duration is further determined. Based on the time duration and the power level, a wireless resource impact is determined for the packet. Transmission resources are allocated based on the wireless resource impact.
