Abstract
An adaptive data rate method for use in a communication device. The communication device includes a controller and a transceiver coupled to each other. The method includes the controller increasing an initial data rate to generate a test data rate, and the transceiver transmitting a test packet according to the test data rate, a packet length of the test packet being less than a maximum packet length of a data packet. The method further includes the controller selecting one from the initial data rate and the test data rate as a selected data rate according to a transmission result of the test packet, and the transceiver transmitting the data packet according to the selected data rate.
