Abstract
A method for managing wireless communications includes establishing a quality of service budget on behalf of a wireless station. A service profile is established by determining an average packet size for at least one flow for the wireless station and an average packet frequency for that flow. When more than one flow from a wireless station is desired, the average packet size and average packet frequency for all such flows are combined. The average packet size and average packet frequency are used to determine a capacity consumption for the wireless station. That capacity consumption is then used to determine a threshold transmission speed above which transmission from the wireless station must stay to achieve a guaranteed quality of service level. Allocation of wireless capacity for the wireless station is based upon the determined threshold transmission speed.
