Content delivery over wireless links

A method comprising:

• at a wireless access point in a wireless network environment:
• receiving notification to transmit corresponding content over a wireless communication link to a target communication device in the wireless network environment;
• producing an index value;
• using the index value to select a modulation-coding option in a group of multiple candidate modulation-coding options;
• and
• transmitting the corresponding content to the target computer device via the selected modulation-coding option.

A computer system comprising:

• computer processor hardware;
• and
• a hardware storage resource coupled to the computer processor hardware, the hardware storage resource storing instructions that, when executed by the computer processor hardware, causes the computer processor hardware to perform operations of:
• receiving notification of a bit rate setting to transmit corresponding content to a communication device;
• identifying a set of multiple candidate modulation-coding options supporting transmission of data at different bit rates, each of the different bit rates greater than the bit rate setting;
• selecting a modulation-coding option amongst the multiple candidate modulation-coding options in the set;
• and
• transmitting the corresponding content to the target communication device in accordance with the selected modulation-coding option.

Computer-readable hardware storage having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, causes the computer processor hardware to perform operations of:

• receiving notification to transmit corresponding content over a wireless communication link to a target communication device in a wireless network environment;
• producing an index value;
• using the index value to select a modulation-coding option in a group of multiple candidate modulation-coding options;
• and
• transmitting the corresponding content to the target computer device via the selected modulation-coding option.
