Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a method of operating a communications network, comprising the steps of: receiving a plurality of packets from a network node; determining a first parameter based on the time period between the reception of a packet and the reception of the subsequent packet; determining a second parameter based on the variation of the first parameter; and determining the performance of the communications network in accordance with the ratio of the second parameter to the first parameter.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of operating a wireless communications network, the method comprising the steps of: a) receiving a plurality of data packets comprising a real time communication session from a network node connected to the wireless communications network; b) determining a plurality of packet period parameter values, the data packet period parameter being determine by the time period between the reception of a data packet and the reception of the subsequent data p…
