Dynamically resizing aggregation windows based on network congestion feedback from mixed types of traffic in a wireless network

摘要

Aggregation windows are dynamically resized based on network congestion feedback from VOIP and other mixed types of traffic. Feedback indicative of a level of network congestion on the data communication network where aggregate packets are transmitted is received. The network congestion level is checked to see if a predetermined threshold has been exceeded. Responsive to exceeding the threshold, the network congestion level is correlated to an optimal data field size for the aggregated data packets. Further, a MAC layer is configured for the optimal data field size for frame generation. Subsequent aggregated data packets are then transmitted using the optimal data field size.
