Slow Adaptation of Modulation and Coding for Packet Transmission
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting packets to a receiver using an MCS (modulation and coding scheme);
receiving ACKs (acknowledgement) in respect of packets transmitted to the receiver;
determining an updated MCS (modulation and encoding scheme) used to transmit subsequent packets to the receiver as a function of the number of received ACKs.

15. An arrangement of one or more wireless network components comprising:
-
at least one antenna; a transmitter that transmits packets to a wireless device using an MCS (modulation and coding scheme); a receiver that receives ACKs (acknowledgements) in respect of packets sent to the wireless device; an MCS adaptor that updates the MCS used to transmit to the wireless device based on a number of ACKs received by the wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method comprising:
-
a receiver receiving packets sent to the receiver over a wireless channel in respect of which there is no ACK/NACK feedback channel; the receiver making a channel quality measurement in respect of the wireless channel; the receiver determining link adaptation information based on the channel quality measurement; the receiver feeding back the link adaptation information in a slow rate manner using layer 2 or above signalling. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
