METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR CHOOSING A PARAMETER SETTING FROM A SET OF AVAILABLE PARAMETER SETTINGS

摘要

A system comprises a communication device that chooses a parameter setting from a set of available parameter settings (404, 406). The system may include multiple communication devices (11a-11f), and each available parameter setting may have an associated cost. The communication device receive parameter setting information from one or more other communication devices in the system, and the parameter setting information may identify the parameter setting being used by the one or more communication devices in the system. The communication device may choose a parameter setting that is associated with the lowest cost (408) based on the parameter setting information received from the one of more other communication devices (402) in the system.
