Abstract: In a system formed of user devices, a home access point routing device connected to an Internet Service Provider, performance issues such as contention and interference on the home network can be determined. The home access point is arranged to monitor IP Flow information for data sessions between user devices and remote servers over a wireless or powerline Ethernet home network and performance issues are determined by the home access point or by a management server.

Abstract: There is herein disclosed a method of measuring the performance of a first communication channel at a first access point in a WLAN, in which the first access point is associated to a client device so that the first access point can send data to, and/or receive data from, the client device on a second communication channel, the method including disassociating the first access point to the client device and associating a second access point to the client device; switching the working channel of the first access point from the second communication channel to the first communication channel; and making one or more performance measurements in respect of the first communication channel at the first access point.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of selecting a channel for wireless communication in a network, including communicating data over a first communication channel between an access point and a client device for a first time period, during the first time period, obtaining a first performance measurement indicative of the performance of the first channel, communicating data over a second communication channel between the access point and the client device for a second time period, during the second time period, obtaining a second performance measurement indicative of the performance of the second channel, ranking the first and second channels in order of performance taking the first and second performance measurements into account when doing so, selecting an operating channel using the outcome of the ranking.

Abstract: A wireless router having a WiFi wireless network and including a small cell for routing LTE cellular data to a mobile network core is configured to monitor connected mobile devices and determine whether each mobile device should be connect to the hub using WiFi or LTE in accordance with the current utilization of the WiFi network and the current utilization of the LTE small cell. Since the small cell data traffic transmitted in a data tunnel to the mobile network core is accessible to the monitor, the network identity information of the device's WiFi interface and the device's LTE interface can be determined by consulting an address mapping store in the cellular mobile network core. Furthermore presence information can be determined by detecting connection and disconnection messages between the mobile device and cellular network core.

Abstract: A management server for managing a population of wireless access point devices by detecting out-of-band interference to the operation of the wireless access point Wi-Fi networks caused by LTE small cell devices such as macrocells and femtocells. A flow processor monitors the characteristics of data flows of devices connected to the wireless access point to determine whether they are LTE cells based on MAC address matching or the termination of a flow at a known mobile network operator gateway. A mitigation action to change the operational behavior of the wireless access point is then generated and applied to mitigate the effect of the detected interference device on the Wi-Fi network. The management server further determines, using a data store containing the location of the wireless access points, whether other wireless access points will be affected by the presence of the interference device and sends mitigation actions to potentially affected devices.

Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for routing a bursty data flow comprising a series of one or more data packets over a converged network comprising a plurality of communication networks, the method comprising, for each of the series of data packets in turn: selecting which one of the plurality of communication networks to transmit that data packet over by: (i) obtaining flow statistics indicating a current flow state of the bursty data flow; and (ii) selecting the one of the plurality of communication networks in dependence on said flow statistics; then initiating transmission of the data packet over that one of the plurality of communication networks. Further aspects relate to a data processing system, a computer program, a computer-readable data carrier and a data carrier signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing local area network diagnostic data obtained in respect of a local area network. The method includes calculating a value for each of a plurality of data units according to a predetermined function of one or more field-values stored in the data unit; identifying a first and second data unit as being similar in dependence on a comparison of their respective values, the second data unit having at least one field-value which differs from a corresponding field-value of the first data unit; in response to such an identification, creating a third data unit containing a field-value indicative of the first data unit and an indication of the at least one field-value which differs from the corresponding field-value in the first data unit; and sending the first and third data units for performance analysis at a remote network diagnostic device outside the LAN.

Abstract: In wireless local area networks (WLANs) having a wireless access point and a plurality of client devices, the range of the WLAN is affected by obstructions and sources of interference. This may result in coverage gaps in the WLAN. A method is described for operating a mobile wireless device to simulate the behavior of a WLAN extender to improve the coverage of the WLAN. The performance of a data link between the simulated extender device and the wireless access point, and performance of a data link between the simulated extender device and the plurality of client devices, is measured at various locations within the user premises. The results are processed to determine the benefit provided at the various locations by an extender device and a recommended location is provided to a user.
