Abstract
A system controls operation of a network, such as a WLAN, where at least one information stream is delivered to at least one user via a link that is exposed to variable operating conditions. The system includes a controller module for monitoring the operating conditions of the link, and at least one transcoder for selectively transcoding the information stream by selectively varying one or more transcoding parameters as a function of the monitored operating conditions.

31. A method for controlling operation of a network in which an information stream is being delivered to at least one user via at least one link that is exposed to variable operating conditions, the method comprising:
-
monitoring the operating conditions of the at least one link; and
transcoding the information stream by selectively varying at least one transcoding parameter as a function of the monitored operating conditions. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

68. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for execution by a computer, the computer-readable medium for controlling operation of a network in which an information stream is being delivered to at least one user via at least one link that is exposed to variable operating conditions, the computer-executable instructions comprising:
-
a first data field containing data for monitoring the operating conditions of the at least one link; and
a second data field containing data for transcoding the information stream by selectively varying at least one transcoding parameter as a function of the monitored operating conditions. - View Dependent Claims (69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75)
