  • Method and controller for data rate adaptation in wireless communication networks
    Patent number: 7257085
    Abstract: A wireless communication network with improved performance and a method and controller for controlling data rate in the network are provided. The invention provides a feedforward approach to data rate control in wireless networks. The invention is based on designing an optimal, but non-causal, controller and its subsequent “causification,” which results in a practical, implementable controller, driven by an estimate of the bit error probability. This controller leads to a minimum 5%-85% increase in average throughput without additional power utilization, as compared with fixed data rate operation.
