RATE CONTROL FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor,wherein the at least one processor is configured to;
transmit a first packet stream on a first link;
transmit a second packet stream on a second link, the second packet stream comprising information that is redundant of information transmitted on the first packet stream;
implement rate control on the first link; and
implement rate control on the second link,wherein the rate control on the first link is independent of the rate control on the second link and the rate control on the second link is independent of the rate control on the first link.

Abstract
Rate control is provided for communicating within a wireless communication network. In some examples, redundant packet information transmitted over separate links, each link having its own independent rate control loop, can result in improvement in packet reliability with fast convergence to a desired error level. In other examples, artificial degradation of a received data stream can be utilized to improve packet reliability, also with fast convergence to the desired error level.
