Claim 10:
11. A method comprising: obtaining in a probing Wi-Fi device a first contention-free access period on a Wi-Fi channel;
setting at least one parameter of a Wi-Fi transmitter of the probing Wi-Fi device to a first setting;
sending by the probing Wi-Fi device a first probe packet to a receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the first setting;
waiting for a first reply period to determine a result responsive to the first probe packet; setting the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter from the first setting to a second setting;
sending by the probing Wi-Fi device a second probe packet to the receiving Wi-Fi device during the first contention-free access period using the Wi-Fi transmitter based on the second setting;
waiting for a second reply period to determine a result responsive to the second probe packet; and setting the at least one parameter of the Wi-Fi transmitter to a data packet setting based at least on the result of the second reply period.
