Transmission and Reception Parameter Control
First Claim
1. A method for implementing transmission parameter control at a transmitting station, comprising:
- executing instructions stored in memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor queries a transmission parameter control module for a transmission schedule, the transmission schedule comprising at least one schedule entry defining a set of transmission parameter controls associated with a destination address; and
transmitting at least one packet of data to the destination address according to the transmission parameters controls of the at least one schedule entry from the transmission schedule.

Abstract
A system and method for implementing transmission parameter control at a transmitting station is described. The exemplary system and method comprises querying a transmission parameter control module for a transmission schedule. The transmission schedule comprises at least one schedule entry defining a set of transmission parameter controls as they pertain to a destination address. At least one packet of data is then transmitted to the destination address according to the transmission parameters controls of at least one schedule entry from the transmission schedule. A system and method for selecting an antenna configuration corresponding to a next transmission of packet data is also disclosed.
