Wireless network throughput estimation
This disclosure relates to estimating throughput of wireless networks by a wireless device. According to some embodiments, estimated uplink and downlink actual temporal load available to a wireless device in a wireless network may be determined. An uplink data rate and a downlink data rate of the wireless device in the wireless network may be estimated. Based on the estimated uplink and downlink actual temporal load available to the wireless device and the estimated uplink and downlink data rates of the wireless device, the maximum possible uplink throughput and downlink throughput of the wireless device in the wireless network may be estimated. Such throughput estimates may be used to select a wireless network to join from among multiple available wireless networks or to select an initial data rate for an application executing on the wireless device, among possible uses.
