A REAL-TIME RATE CONTROL MECHANISM FOR MULTIRATE DATA TRANSMISSIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Wireless networks are becoming increasingly heterogeneous in terms of the processing capabilities of network user"s receiving equipment. According to embodiments of the invention, in a communications network comprising a plurality of receivers with different data reception rate capabilities, data frames targeted to respective receivers may be transmitted to the receivers in accordance with the respective data reception rate capabilities of the receivers.
