Abstract:
A communication system configured to enhance communication spectral efficiency while maintaining an acceptable level of system robustness. Various combinations of modulation, code rate, and antenna usage scheme, are combined to create a hierarchy of modulation and communication schemes (MCS), such that each higher MCS level represents an enhanced degree of spectral efficiency, traded off for a lowered degree of system robustness. Included also are embodiments of methods testing the quality of data transmission and reception at difference MCS levels, and then raising or lowering MCS levels in order to enhance communication spectral efficiency while not falling below the minimally acceptable level of system robustness.
Abstract:
A transmitter implements a method of transmitting data in a network. The transmitter encodes and transmits to a receiver a first transmission utilizing the first MCS level with a first quality level. The first quality level is higher than a prior quality level associated with the prior MCS level. The transmitter receives an indication that the transmission was received at the receiver with an error rate less than a first threshold. The transmitter encodes and transmits to the receiver a second transmission that is longer than the first transmission. The second transmission uses a second MCS level with a second quality level. The second quality level is between the prior quality level and the first quality level. The transmitter receives an indication that the transmission was received at the receiver with an error rate less than a second threshold. The transmitter utilizes the second MCS level to transmit data.
Abstract:
A method for calibrating rates at which data is transmitted in a communication system. There is a short transmission utilizing a first set of communication parameters comprising first and second communication parameters. The first set of communication parameters are different from the second set of communication parameters used to create stable communication between the transmitter and receiver. The second set of communication parameters comprise first and second communication parameters. Then determining that there are substantially no errors associated with reception of the short transmission by the receiver. Then transmitting a long transmission utilizing a third set of communication parameters comprising first and second communication parameters. The first communication parameter of the third set is equal to the first communication parameter of the first set. The second communication parameter of the third set is equal to the second communication parameter of the second set.
