Abstract

We describe a method of estimating the instantaneous queue length of a router or packet forwarding device in the last hop of a wireless network. Our method is more general and more accurate than QFind, and utilizes protocol knowledge of wireless networks such as 802.11 to achieve higher accuracy under both more general traffic conditions and less-than-ideal signal reception conditions during measurements.
