1. A method for improving channel efficiency in a wireless link between an access-point transceiver and a first transceiver, wherein the first transceiver is limited to a first data throughput rate that is lower than the maximum possible data throughput rate of the wireless link, wherein the first transceiver comprises a first receive buffer, the method comprising:
receiving and storing, by the access-point transceiver, an indication of the first data throughput rate and a size of the first receive buffer; determining, by the access-point transceiver, a first size of a first data packet for transmission to the first transceiver, wherein said determining is based on one or more of: the first data throughput rate and the size of the first receive buffer; transmitting, by the access-point transceiver, the first data packet of the first size to the first transceiver at a data rate that is higher than the first data throughput rate, extending, by the access-point transceiver, the wireless link to a second transceiver; determining, by the access-point transceiver, that data throughput to the first transceiver over the wireless link is unlikely to exceed the first data throughput rate based on the extension of the wireless link to the second transceiver; and wherein the access-point transceiver does not determine sizes of data packets for transmission to the first transceiver based on the first data throughput rate or the size of the first receive buffer in response to determining that data throughput to the first transceiver over the wireless link is unlikely to exceed the first data throughput rate. |
