Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving user data for transmission over a physical link, acquiring information about the user data, the acquired information including a fill level of at least one buffer temporarily storing the user data, setting physical layer link adaptation parameters for the transmission based on the acquired information, wherein the setting comprises selecting at least one of a modulation scheme and a coding scheme separately for the transmission of the user data in an application data transfer direction and for feedback related to the user data in an application feedback direction based on a comparison between the fill level and at least one threshold value, the at least one of the modulation scheme and the coding scheme being selected separately for the application data transfer direction and the application feedback direction such that throughput in the application data transfer direction is higher than throughput in the application feedback direction and error rate in the application data transfer direction is higher than error rate in the application feedback direction.
