1. A communication system comprising:
- a first wireless transceiver responsive to an evaluation of a communication channel by a second wireless transceiver, said first wireless transceiver operable to adjust a size of a data packet to be transmitted to the second wireless transceiver based on the evaluation of the communication channel by the second wireless transceiver;
where the first wireless transceiver is further operable to;
measure signal strength of a received signal;
determine a desired packet size for packets transmitted from the second wireless transceiver to the first wireless transceiver based, at least in part, on the measured signal strength; and
transmit a message comprising information indicating the determined desired packet size.

Abstract
Improved apparatus for a radio communication network having mobile transceiver units in communication with base transceiver units. The radio communication network is adaptive in that in order to compensate for the wide range of operating conditions, a set of variable network parameters are adapted for communication between transceivers in the network. These parameters may, for example, define optimized communication on the network under current network conditions. Examples of such parameters may include, without limitation: packet size, data rate, type of modulation, type or degree of error correction coding and spread spectrum communication parameters.
