LINK ADAPTATION IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

In a method for link adaptation in a network, a link quality metric corresponding to a wireless communications link between a first communication device and a second communication device is determined. A communication frame having a header is generated. The header includes i) a first subfield of a control field to specify a modulation and coding scheme for use via the wireless communications link, and ii) a second subfield of the control field that includes the link quality metric. The communication frame is transmitted.
