Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are described for detecting and diagnosing performance problems in wireless communications networks. Diagnostic programs execute on a wireless device, neighboring devices, and a wireless access point to collaborate in diagnosing network problems. The neighboring devices eavesdrop on a diagnostic session between the device and the access point to determine problems at the device, the access point, and in the wireless medium. Data from the eavesdropping devices can be summarized and sent to a network administrator for further action. The diagnostic programs are described to contain a passive component for detecting problems, and an active component for running the diagnostic techniques.
