Technical Examples

Techniques to adaptively control the rate of a data transmission in a wireless (e.g., OFDM) communication system. In an aspect, various types of metrics may be derived and used to select the proper rate for the data transmission. Some types of metrics relate to different characteristics of the communication channel, such as SNR, frequency selectivity, time selectivity, and so on. One type of metric relates to the performance of the data transmission. In another aspect, the various types of metrics may be used in different manners to adaptively control the rate. Some metrics may be used for open-loop control of the rate, other metrics may be used for closed-loop control, and some may be used for both. For example, the channel metrics may be used to determine or select the rate, and the performance metrics may be used to determine whether or not to adjust the rate.
