Integrated self-optimizing multi-parameter and multi-variable point to multipoint communication system
First Claim
1. A method, including steps of determining first values for a plurality of first parameters and at least one second parameter for a communication link, said first parameters being associated with a first layer of an OSI model communication system and said second parameter being associated with a second layer of an OSI model communication system;
- sending first information using said first values;
obtaining second information regarding characteristics of said communication link in response to a result of said steps of sending; and
adjusting a plurality of said first values in conjunction in response to said second information, whereby further use of said communication link is responsive to said steps of adjusting.

Abstract
The invention provides a method and system for adaptive point to multipoint wireless communication. The wireless physical layer and the wireless media-access-control (MAC) layer collectively include a set of parameters, which are adaptively modified by a base station controller for communication with a plurality of customer premises equipment. The base station controller adjusts communication with each customer premises equipment individually and adaptively in response to changes in characteristics of communication, including physical characteristics, amount of communication traffic, and nature of application for the communication traffic.
