Claim Text:
1. A wireless device for adaptive communication, comprising: a storage device to store a first memory structure to hold a plurality of identifiers of a corresponding plurality of jurisdictions, a plurality of sets of wireless communication operation constraints, and associations between individual ones of the plurality of jurisdiction identifiers and respective individual ones of the plurality of sets of wireless communication operation constraints, and the storage device is further to store a second memory structure to hold identifiers of one or more trusted location providers; jurisdiction identifier evaluation logic, communicatively coupled to the storage device, to validate or invalidate a received jurisdiction identifier nominally representative of a jurisdiction in which communication hardware of the wireless device is located, wherein to validate the received jurisdiction identifier comprises to determine that the received jurisdiction identifier corresponds to one of the stored plurality of jurisdiction identifiers and was provided by a location provider that corresponds to at least one of the one or more stored trusted location provider identifiers; and operation constraint application logic, communicatively coupled to the storage device and to the jurisdiction identifier evaluation logic, to apply in response to validation of the received jurisdiction identifier, a stored set of wireless communication operation constraints corresponding to the received jurisdiction identifier.
