Abstract:
1. A method of operating transceiver circuitry for electronic communication that can employ any one of a plurality of signalling schemes, the method comprising: selecting one signalling scheme of the plurality of signalling schemes; using the one signalling scheme to receive successive bursts of electronic data, at least some of the bursts requiring the transceiver circuitry to transmit an acknowledge (“ACK”) or non-acknowledge (“NAK”) signal respectively indicative of whether or not the transceiver circuitry correctly received the burst; maintaining an electronic record indicative of occurrences of the NAK signal for a predetermined number of the bursts; when occurrences of the NAK signal for the predetermined number of the bursts reach a threshold, causing the transceiver circuitry to select a different signalling scheme of the plurality of signalling schemes; and using the selected different signalling scheme to receive further successive bursts of electronic data.
