METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING RATE CONTROL BASED ON PACKET AGGREGATION CONSIDERATIONS

摘要

Various aspects of the disclosure described herein provide for optimizing rate control during a selection of a communications profile from a set of communications profiles by taking into account effective frame aggregation size as a function of packet error rate (PER). An expected throughput may also be determined for each communications profile and updated after each transmission so that a communications profile having the highest expected throughput may be chosen for a particular frame transmission.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communications comprising:
detecting a receipt of a communications acknowledgment related to a transmission of a first frame using a first communications profile selected from a plurality of communications profiles; determining a communications error parameter from the detection of the receipt of the communications acknowledgement for the first communications profile; determining an effective aggregation size based on the communications error parameter; selecting a second communications profile from the plurality of communications profiles based on the communications error parameter and the effective aggregation size; and, transmitting a second frame using the second communications profile.
