It's worse than highly dynamic... the bandwidth may be completely undefined moment to moment, as it is dependent on both the wireless environment, which varies on timescales that can be about equal to a packet transmit time, and on the traffic mix.  There's about 30 ms of correlation time at best.

There's no distinction in the forwarding plane, every router is a host, every host is a router.
