  • Method and apparatus for modem rate adaptation
    Patent number: 7372901
    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically determining transmission characteristics of a modem transmitting information over a network is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of determining a plurality of measured characteristics associated with a plurality of received samples collected over a known period, suggesting a first transmission characteristic from a plurality of known first transmission characteristics associated with a selected second measured characteristic based on a first measured characteristic in relation to a threshold value associated with each of the known first transmission characteristics, adjusting the suggested transmission characteristic dependent upon a third measured characteristic, and providing the suggested characteristics to the network. The method further comprises the steps of validating the suggested characteristics and transmitting a next packet using validated transmission characteristics.
