  • Patent number: 9001805
    Abstract: An electronic device having network connection function includes a receiving unit and a control unit, where the electronic device and an access point support a plurality of connection modes. The receiving unit is utilized for receiving a signal from the access point. The control unit is utilized for selecting a specific connection mode from the plurality of connection modes according to a determination result generated by determining whether the signal satisfies a predetermined condition, and starting to connect to the access point by using the specific connection mode, where a data rate of the specific connection mode is not a highest data rate among that of the plurality of connection modes.

  • Patent number: 7664062
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for dynamically adjusting the transmission rate of a wireless communication system. The method comprises the steps of: setting an initial transmission rate; counting the number of successful or unsuccessful transmission; comparing the number with a predetermined threshold and obtaining a comparing result; and adjusting the transmission rate according to the comparing result. The present invention also provides a method that uses the strength of received signals to determine if the transmission rate needs adjusting.
