Medium-based transmission parameter adaptation

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media containing instructions which, in response to being executed by a processor, cause a system to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining default transmitting parameters and potential variations of the default transmitting parameters for a packet to be transmitted over a wireless network;
• obtaining medium state information for a medium of the wireless network;
• generating a first candidate of transmitting parameters and a second candidate of transmitting parameters based on the medium state information, each of the first and second candidates of transmitting parameters consistent with at least one of the default transmitting parameters and the potential variations of the default transmitting parameters;
• and
• selecting from among the first and the second candidates of transmitting parameters to use when transmitting the packet over the wireless network.
