Abstract
Embodiments of a method and an apparatus for improving the performance of coexisting wireless radio signals are described. In one embodiment, the method includes detecting burst-type interference based on a packet error rate and a transmission rate associated with a transmitter. The method further includes setting the transmission rate in accordance with a burst-type rate-adaptation mode to increase data throughput.
Claims18
A method for a wireless communication network, comprising:
- detecting burst-type interference based at least on a packet error rate and a first transmission rate associated with a transmitter, the burst-type interference being detected by:
- setting the first transmission rate to a highest transmission rate;
- setting the first transmission rate to a lowest transmission rate;
- and
- determining that burst-type interference occurred if the packet error rate for the lowest transmission rate is greater than the packet error rate for the highest transmission rate;
- and
- setting, if burst-type interference is detected, a second transmission rate that is greater than the first transmission rate.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a transmitter associated with a first transmission rate;
- a packet error rate determination unit to determine a packet error rate associated with the first transmitter;
- and
- a controller to detect, based at least on the packet error rate and the first transmission rate, burst-type interference, the burst-type interference being detected based on the first transmission rate being set to a highest transmission rate and to a lowest transmission rate, and the burst-type interference occurring if the packet error rate for the lowest transmission rate is greater than the packet error rate for the highest transmission rate, the controller being further operable to select a first rate-adaptation mode if burst-type interference is detected, the first rate-adaptation mode comprising a transmission rate that is greater than the first transmission rate.
1 more element
A network system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory coupled to the processor;
- and
- a communication device, coupled to the processor to communicate wirelessly, comprising:
- a transmitter associated with a first transmission rate;
- and
- a controller to determine a packet error rate associated with the first transmitter and to detect, based at least on the packet error rate and the first transmission rate, burst-type interference, the burst-type interference being detected based on the first transmission rate being set to a highest transmission rate and to a lowest transmission rate, and the burst-type interference occurring if the packet error rate for the lowest transmission rate is greater than the packet error rate of the highest transmission rate, the controller being further operable to select a first rate-adaptation mode if burst-type interference is detected, the first rate-adaptation mode comprising a transmission rate that is greater than the first transmission rate.
