MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT OF LINKS IN A WIRELESS NETWORK

A wireless communication link can include an uplink and a downlink between a wireless access point and a computer device. The uplink supports communications from the computer device to the wireless access point. The downlink supports communications from the wireless access point to the computer device. The computer device executes a downlink monitor application to monitor events occurring on the downlink. The wireless access point or other suitable resource such as a remote management resource executes an uplink monitor application to monitor events occurring on the uplink. The uplink application and the downlink application log events using the same master clock. The remote management resource can be configured to analyze the uplink status information in view of the downlink status information to perform one or more functions such as troubleshooting, optimizing network settings, etc.
