Abstract:
1. A method of determining transmission parameters for a wireless communication transceiver, comprising: loading a state table into a transceiver that includes a plurality of states, each of the plurality of states having a set of transmission parameters associated therewith; receiving signals from a signal source; based upon characteristics of the received signals, assigning to the transceiver a first one of the plurality of states; receiving and processing the received signals using the set of transmission parameters associated with the first one of the plurality of states; observing a behavior of the received signals; determining whether the behavior exceeds a threshold associated with the first one of the plurality of states; assigning to the transceiver a second one of the plurality of states when the behavior exceeds the threshold; and receiving and processing the received signals using the set of transmission parameters associated with the second one of the plurality of states; wherein the assigning the second one of the plurality of states operates to change at least one of signal transmission rate and transmission power used with the received signals; wherein the state table is a first state table configured for use with a first type of signal, and further including a second loadable state table configured for use with a second type of signal, the method further including: assigning to the transceiver one of the plurality of states from the first state table when the received signals are the first type of signal; and assigning to the transceiver one of a plurality of states from the second state table when the received signals are the second type of signal.
