Abstract

For allowing a best possible usage of network resources even under congestion conditions a method for operating a wireless network, especially an IP (Internet Protocol) network, is described, wherein a queue management function based on an average queue length in a network element is used. The method is characterized in that a result of a weighting function will be combined or multiplied with the average queue length for determining a combined congestion contribution for use within the queue management function, wherein the weighting function takes into account per-user information on a wireless channel condition. Further, a corresponding wireless network, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method, is also described.
