Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for medium access control (MAC) rate selection are presented. Aspects of the system may include at least one processor that enables selection of MAC layer parameter values and/or PHY layer parameter values, to maintain a rate of data transmission of at least one transmitted signal, which is no greater than a selected data transfer rate. The error rate of the one or more transmitted signals may be maintained within a specified range based on the selection for varying signal to noise (SNR) ratios.
Claims24
A method for handling multimedia information in a communication system, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one of:
- MAC layer parameter values and PHY layer parameter values, to maintain a rate of data transmission of at least one transmitted signal, which is no greater than a selected data transfer rate;
- and
- maintaining, based on said selecting, an error rate of said at least one transmitted signal within a specified range for varying signal to noise ratio (SNR) values.
A machine-readable code having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section for handling multimedia information in a communication system, the at least one code section being executable by a machine for causing the machine to perform steps comprising:
- selecting at least one of:
- MAC layer parameter values and PHY layer parameter values, to maintain a rate of data transmission of at least one transmitted signal, which is no greater than a selected data transfer rate;
- and
- maintaining, based on said selecting, an error rate of said at least one transmitted signal within a specified range for varying signal to noise ratio (SNR) values.
A system for handling multimedia information in a communication system, the system comprising:
- at least one processor that enables selection of at least one of:
- MAC layer parameter values and PHY layer parameter values, to maintain a rate of data transmission of at least one transmitted signal, which is no greater than a selected data transfer rate;
- and
- said at least one processor enables maintenance of an error rate of said at least one transmitted signal within a specified range, based on said selection, for varying signal to noise ratio (SNR) values.
