METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING WIRELESS DATA NETWORK TELEPHONY, INCLUDING QUALITY OF SERVICE MONITORING AND CONTROL

A system for wireless communication comprises an architecture of routers connected to a network and having connected transceivers for wireless transmission and reception of data, and a plurality of hand-held commuoicators adapted for users to communicate with the network through the routers. The system is adapted to provide wireless Data Network Telephony (DNT), and the hand-held communicators execute Quality of Service (QoS) code adapted to prioritize DNT packet code over all non-DNT traffic, thereby preserving the real-time nature of the DNT code.
