Abstract: A method to transmit data packets includes: in a first transceiver, that includes multiple RF transmitters and an RF receiver, receiving an ACK signal from a second transceiver; determining if a data packet was successfully received, and if so, removing the data packet from the queue. If the queue is empty, the method ends. If not, the method proceeds with the next data packet, determines if the ACK has been received, and if it includes an RF mode with diversity information. If there is no diversity information, the data packet is transmitted conventionally. If there is an RF mode with diversity information, the method transmits the data packet using information from the RF mode. Using the RF mode may include replacing PHY information and activating and setting transmitter frequencies for multiple RF transmitters.

Abstract: A wireless transmitter includes RF transmitters, an RF receiver, and a processor. It receives an ACK signal that specifies an RF mode and diversity information. The receiver receives a framed data packet that includes first PHY parameters. It determines second PHY parameters based on the diversity information, and replaces the first PHY parameters with the second PHY parameters. It transmits data via multiple diversity channels, according to the diversity information. A wireless receiver includes multiple RF receivers and an RF transmitter. It receives data in accordance with first diversity settings in a first RF mode. It determines a current reception condition and predicts a future reception condition from a dominant aggressor. It uses the future reception condition to determine a second RF mode with second diversity settings and includes the second diversity settings in an acknowledge signal.
