Claim Text:
1. A system for transmission parameter control in a wireless network, the system comprising: a processor that executes at least one program stored in a memory, the at least one program comprising instructions for executing a transmission schedule, wherein the transmission schedule comprising a plurality of schedule entries, wherein the plurality of schedule entries respectively defines a plurality of sets of transmission parameter controls associated with a destination address, wherein each set of transmission parameter controls corresponds to a respective transmission attempt for the destination address; an antenna apparatus including a plurality of antenna elements adjustable into a plurality of antenna configurations, each antenna configuration corresponding to a radiation pattern; a communication device that implements at least one of a plurality of link quality metrics as specified by a set of transmission parameter controls of the plurality of sets of transmission parameter controls, wherein the link quality metrics include data rate, success ratio, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and an error vector magnitude (EVM); and an antenna element selector device that selects at least one of the antenna elements to implement the at least one of the plurality of antenna configurations of the antenna apparatus as specified by the set of transmission parameter controls, wherein the antenna apparatus transmits one or more data packets to the destination address in accordance with at least one of the data rates and at least one of the plurality of antenna configurations as specified by the set of transmission parameter controls of the transmission schedule executed by the processor, and wherein the antenna element selector device includes a prediction algorithm that is used to select a particular antenna element based on data packet pattern recognition or Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) of serial transmission of data.
