Claim Text:
1. A communication device comprising: a modulating component operable to generate a first modulated packet and a second modulated packet, the first modulated packet being based on a first modulation scheme, the second modulated packet being based on a second modulation scheme, the first modulation scheme having a first amount of energy associated therewith, the second modulation scheme having a second amount of energy associated therewith, the first amount of energy being less than the second amount of energy; a transmitting component connected to the modulating component, the transmitting component operable to generate a transmit packet based on one of the first modulated packet and the second modulated packet, and a controlling component connected to the modulating component, the controlling component operable to generate a control signal to instruct the modulating component to generate the first modulated packet when the energy of the transmit packet will be less than a predetermined threshold, in which the threshold is based on the first amount of energy.
