Passive Method for Estimating Available Throughput for Autonomous Off-Peak Data Transfer

Table 1

Classification of off-peak data transfer system architecture.

	Monitoring	Controlling
Server-side	Requires new protocol or active measurement method	Easy for controlling sending content; many transport connections occur
Base station	Essentially possible	Difficult to understand content
Client-side	Passive measurement method should be used	Easy for controlling receiving content; transport connection can be disconnected
