Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system (100) and method for reducing handover latency in a wireless network. The system (100) comprises of at least one mobile node (200); at least one access point (AP) (300); at least one access controller (AC) (400) connected to the AP (300); at least one other neighbour AC (500); and at least one other neighbour AP (600). The system (100) is further characterised in that at least one Received Signal Strength (RSS) Checker module (10), at least one Moving Weight Discovery (MWD) module (20), at least one Client Movement Prediction (CMP) module (30) and at least one Access Controller Context Manager (ACCM) module (40).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system (100) for multicast packet transmission in a wireless network. The system (100) allocates each client device a separate multicast queue for transmitting multicast packets. The queue size is adjusted depending on whether a multicast packet was successfully transmitted to a client device or not. For each failed transmission, the multicast queue size for the client device is reduced by a certain configurable factor until a minimum threshold is reached, wherein the multicast queue for the client device is deleted if the minimum threshold is reached. For each successful transmission, the multicast queue size for the client device is increased until a maximum queue size limit is reached.
