Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) for receivers that exhibit non-deterministic behavior during the CQI selection process. A codeword is received over a transmission system at a receiver, and a performance measure that is dependent on the CQI is determined for the codeword. The receiver determines an objective function that is based on the CQI and the performance measure, and selects a value for the CQI by performing an optimization technique on the objective function. The optimization technique is performed on the objective function over a range of candidate CQI values, and the selected value for the CQI is the candidate CQI value that optimizes the objective function.

The second data rate is then used to communicate with the particular neighboring device.

Abstract: In a multiple interface, low power and lossy network comprising multiple nodes, a root phase device obtains phase differential and absolute phase information from the devices in various network paths. Each device in a network path determines the differential phase data compared to its parent device in a network path. The device transmits the differential phase data to the parent device. The parent device transmits the differential phase data up the network path toward the root phase device. The root phase device collects the differential phase data and transmits the data to a central device. The central device determines the absolute phase of all devices. The root phase device can propagate absolute phase information to all devices within the network. Each device determines the absolute phase data by comparing the phase data of the device with the absolute phase data. The phase data is transmitted to a central device.
