Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A network gateway, comprising:
at least one interface for communicating with a wireless modem circuit;
a control module configured to:
obtain an instantaneous data transmission capacity of a wireless link between the wireless modem circuit and a base station via the at least one interface;
determine a designated data transmission rate for data transmission over the wireless link based on the instantaneous data transmission capacity of the wireless link;
determine an estimated attenuation on the wireless link based on environmental factors;
determine a data transmission capacity related to the data transmission over the wireless link in view of the estimated attenuation on the wireless link;
transmit a control signal to the wireless modem circuit 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 circuit,
provide a data transmission to the wireless modem circuit for transmission via the wireless link based on the designated data transmission rate;
communicate with a network entity via a local network connection;
provide the designated data transmission rate to the network entity; and
receive the data transmission from the network entity based on the designated data transmission rate to the network entity.
