Described is a system comprising a computing device, a wireless computing
unit and a network management arrangement ("NMA"). The NMA receives a
first signal and a second signal from the computing device. The NMA
forwards the second signal to the unit and receives a third signal from
the unit which is an acknowledgment of receipt of the second signal. The
NMA determines a first time value indicative of a difference between a
time of receipt of the first signal and a time of receipt of the second
signal. The NMA compares the first time value to a first threshold range
to generate a first output data. The NMA determines a second time value
indicative of a difference between a time of transmission of the second
signal and a time of receipt of the third signal. The NMA compares the
second time value to a second threshold range to generate second output
data. The NMA executes a response procedure as a function of at least one
of the first and second output data.
