Wireless communication apparatus and a method using the same

摘要

A wireless communication apparatus and a method using the same are capable of transmitting data while changing a packet type according to a packet error rate. The wireless communication apparatus has a transceiving portion for receiving and transmitting a data packet from and to an external device, a packet type selecting portion, a calculation portion for calculating a packet error rate and transmission time of a transmitted data packet, and a control portion for controlling the packet type selecting portion to select a proper packet type for a transmission of a next data packet based on the calculated packet error rate so that the data can be transmitted within a minimum time and with a maximum efficiency. The wireless communication apparatus maximizes data transmission efficiency since it can transmit the data packet while changing the packet type adaptively to the packet error rate.
