Determining a mode to transmit data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- transferring data at an initial mode from a transmitter to a receiver;
determining a suggested mode based on the data transferred;
determining a count of the data transferred from the transmitter to the receiver;
transferring the suggested mode and the count to the transmitter; and
determining a pending mode based on the suggested mode and the count,wherein determining the suggested mode comprises determining if a signal, including the data, has a signal-to-noise ratio indicating saturation, and wherein determining the suggested mode further comprises determining a current suggested mode for each N number of hysteresis epochs, the suggested mode to be equal to a minimum current suggested mode over the past N number of hysteresis epochs.
