1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a measurement module to measure a characteristic for a wireless communication channel by a first network node to form a first channel parameter value;
a collection module to couple to said measurement module, said collection module to receive said first channel parameter value and a control frame having a second channel parameter value for a second network node, said collection module to use said first channel parameter value and said second channel parameter value to generate a third channel parameter value; and
an adaptation module to couple to said collection module, said adaptation module to modify an operating parameter value for said first network node in accordance with said third channel parameter value.
