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.

A method and system for efficient utilization of transmission resources in a wireless network includes requesting retransmission of an unsuccessfully received radio frame up to an allowed number of times. In response to at least unsuccessfully receiving the frame from the allowed number of retransmissions, a signal is generated for transmission to a device transmitting the frame. The signal is operable to prevent the device from transmitting a set of remaining frames for a packet to which the frame belongs.

A method and system for managing real-time bandwidth request in a wireless network includes receiving a request for a connection for bandwidth of a cell of a wireless network. A subscription level associated with a connection is determined. The request for the connection is processed based on the subscription level.

A method and system for detecting a wireless network includes receiving at a mobile device a signal having data indicative of a location of the mobile device. A determination is made whether the mobile device is within the coverage area of a specified network based on the data. The mobile device scans for the specified network in response to at least determining that it is within the coverage area of the specified network.

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.

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

A method and system for dynamically controlling frame retransmissions over a wireless link includes determining for a frame unsuccessfully received over a wireless link a position of the frame in a set of related frames for a packet to which the frame belongs. An allowed number of retransmissions is determined for the frame based on the position of the frame in the set of related frames. Retransmission of the frame is requested up to the allowed number of retransmissions.

A wireless communications network includes a wireless-specific router topology layer that connects cellular sites to a wireline topology. The wireless-specific router topology provides a distributed architecture in which call processing including call setup, resource preservation, air bandwidth allocation, switching, soft handoff, and micromobility is performed at the cell level. The wireless routers are technology independent to support various cellular technologies. The wireless router may include a first interface operable to communicate wireless packets for a call with a remote device and a second interface operable to communicate wireline packets for the call with the wireline network. A traffic controller is coupled to the first and second interfaces and operable to convert traffic between the wireless and wireline packets and to route packets to a destination mobile or wireline device. A selection and distribution unit is operable to select and distribute traffic to support soft handoff for calls in the wireless communications network.

A method and system for brokering bandwidth in a wireless communications network includes receiving a request for a wireless service at a geographic region. An availability of the wireless service is determined at the geographic region. A response to the request is generated based on the availability of the wireless service. The response includes one or more terms for the wireless service.
