1. A method for optimizing a communication link, said method comprising:

  • dividing a service area associated with a first communication system into a plurality of segments;

    associating a unique link configuration with each segment of said plurality of segments;

    implementing a control loop for a first segment of said plurality of segments when a remote communication system is operating therein, whereby a first link configuration of said unique link configurations associated with said first segment is adjusted as a function of link conditions experienced by said remote communication system, wherein said implementing a control loop for a first segment comprises;

    determining a position of said first remote communication system and therefore a segment of said service area said first remote communication system is operable within;

    identifying said first link configuration associated with said determined segment;

    providing a communication link to said first remote communication system using said identified first link configuration;

    monitoring a communication attribute of said communication link provided using said identified first link configuration;

    determining an alternative link configuration for use with said determined segment;

    providing a communication link to said first remote communication system using said alternative link configuration;

    monitoring a communication attribute of said communication link provided using said alternative link configuration; and

    determining a link configuration to use in providing a communication link in the future based at least in part on said communication attributes monitored with respect to said identified first link configuration and said alternative link configuration; and

    implementing a control loop for a second segment of said plurality of segments when said remote communication system is operating therein, whereby a second link configuration of said unique link configurations associated with said second segment is adjusted as a function of link conditions experienced by said remote communication system.
