Abstract

Scheduling traffic of a communication session between an application on WiFi and another device, by: receiving traffic of a first session; determining that the traffic belongs to a first classification; determining that a time allocated to the first classification times a second classification airtime is less than or equal to a time allocated to the second classification times a first classification airtime; selecting a counter associated with the first session as being the largest of multiple counters each associated with a different communication session of multiple communication sessions (which include the first session); determining that the traffic of the first session is to be scheduled for transmission to the application over WiFi in response to the counter being determined to be the largest of the plurality of counters; and based on the traffic being determined to be scheduled, increasing the airtime associated with the first classification and decreases the counter.
