Claim 21:
22. A non-transitory machine readable storage medium including program code, when executed by a processor, to cause a machine to perform operations a method comprising:
obtaining an instantaneous data transmission capacity of a wireless link from a wireless modem circuitry;
determining an estimated attenuation on the wireless link based on one or more environmental factors;
determining a data transmission capacity related to the data transmission over the wireless link in view of the estimated attenuation on the wireless link;
determining a designated data transmission rate for data transmission over the wireless link based on the instantaneous data transmission capacity of the wireless link, the estimated attenuation, and the data transmission capacity;
transmitting a control signal to the wireless modem circuitry based on at least one of: the designated data transmission rate, or the data transmission capacity, the control signal to affect a wireless characteristic of the wireless modem circuitry;
providing a data transmission to the wireless modem circuit for transmission via the wireless link based on the designated data transmission rate;
communicating with a network entity via a local network connection;
providing the designated data transmission rate to the network entity; and
receiving the data transmission from the network entity based on the designated data transmission rate to the network entity.
