Mitigating shadow fading and interference by a receiver

A method comprising:

• receiving, from an electronic device, one or more packets using a first modulation scheme;
• determining signal strength values for the one or more packets;
• determining, based on the signal strength values, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value;
• determining, based on the signal strength values, a standard deviation value;
• transmitting, to the electronic device, first data generated based on the SNR value and the standard deviation value;
• and
• receiving, from the electronic device, a packet using a second modulation scheme.

A wireless device comprising a wireless radio;

• a processing device coupled to the wireless radio;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processing device, configure the wireless device to:
• receive, from an electronic device, symbols using a first modulation scheme;
• determine signal strength values for the symbols;
• determine, based on the signal strength values, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value;
• determine, based on the signal strength values, a standard deviation value;
• transmit, to the electronic device, first data generated based on the SNR value and the standard deviation value;
• and
• receive, from the electronic device, symbols using a second modulation scheme.
