Receiver-Based Adaptive Rate Control
[Holland00tech,Holland01MobiCom]
Multi-rate radios are capable of transmitting at
several rates, using different modulation schemes
WaveLan [Kamerman97] uses a sender-based
mechanism for determining the suitable rate
Rate is decreased if packets cannot be transmitted at a
higher rate
Rate is increased if successful transmissions at lower rate
Receiver can potentially provide a better estimate of
channel quality
Receiver-based decision mechanism for choosing
appropriate modulation scheme can perform better
