Transmission parameter control for an antenna apparatus with selectable elements
First Claim
1. A method for transmission parameter control, the method comprising:
- mapping each of a plurality of selectable element antenna configurations of an antenna apparatus to a logical antenna;
mapping each of a plurality of physical data rates to a logical data rate;
selecting a first logical antenna;
selecting a first logical data rate;
transmitting a packet to a remote receiving node with the first logical antenna at the first logical data rate;
determining whether the remote receiving node received the packet; and
changing the first logical antenna based on the determination.

Abstract
A system and method for improved data transmission on a wireless link to a remote receiving node includes a communication device for converting packets to RF at a physical data rate, an antenna apparatus having a plurality of antenna configurations for transmitting the RF, and a processor for selecting the antenna configuration and the physical data rate based on whether the remote receiving node indicated reception of the data transmission. A plurality of antenna configurations may be mapped, as well as a plurality of physical data rates. A logical antenna and a logical data rate may be selected for transmission of a packet. The logical antenna may be changed based on whether the packet is received by a remote receiving node.
