Abstract
A method of determining transmission parameters for a wireless transceiver is disclosed. According to the method, a state table is loaded into a transceiver. The state table includes a plurality of states, each of which has a set of transmission parameters associated therewith. Based upon characteristics of the signals received from a signal source, the transceiver is assigned a first state. The received signals are received and processed using the set of transmission parameters associated with the first state. It is determined whether an observed behavior of the received signals exceeds a threshold associated with the first one of the plurality of states. The transceiver is assigned a second state when the behavior exceeds the threshold. The received signals are received and processed using the set of transmission parameters associated with the second state.
