<p>An adaptive bandwidth device for a Local Area Network includes: a programmable bandwidth RF/IF(105,130) unit containing at least one operating range of Quality of Service (QoS) values; a baseband processing parameter selection unit (115,140) for selecting parameters within said at least one operating range in the programmable bandwidth RF/IF unit; a D/A and A/D conversion (110,135) unit for converting analog and digital communication between the programmable bandwidth RF/IF unit and said baseband processor parameter selection unit; and a transmitting and receiving unit (120,145) for transmitting and receiving communications with at least one other device via a reconfigurable communication medium; wherein the baseband processing parameter selection unit selects operating parameters after evaluating an operating range of said at least one other device, and a data capacity and traffic volume of said reconfigurable communication medium. A system and method includes exchanging information regarding operating parameters of the devices, and the devices either self-adjust, or are instructed to change operating parameters according to LAN needs.</p> |
