1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a wireless transmitter;
logic coupled to the wireless transmitter and configured to control the operation of the transmitter;
wherein the logic is configured to obtain channel condition data from the transmitter;
wherein the logic is configured to obtain channel condition data from a receiver communicatively coupled with the wireless transmitter;
wherein the logic is configured to have the wireless transmitter employ an aggressive back-off responsive to determining that foreground interference is more dominant than background interference.

Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an apparatus where transmitter operating parameters are adjusted based on channel condition data obtained from a transmitter and/or from a receiver communicating with the transmitter. For example, the transmitter'"'"'s contention window may be increased responsive to determining channel occupancy at the receiver is increasing. As another example, aggregation/fragmentation may be adjusted based on channel occupancy at the receiver. Still another example, the data rate employed by the transmitter may be changed responsive to changes in receiver success count.
