Abstract:
1. A circuit comprising: a transceiver coupled to transmit an outbound signal via a first network protocol and in accordance with a plurality of transmit parameters, to at least one remote station and receive an inbound signal from the at least one remote station, the transceiver operable to detect a packet transmission failure, to select one of a plurality of transmission failure causes, and to adjust at least on of a plurality of transmit parameters, based on the selected one of the plurality of transmission failure causes; wherein selection of one of the plurality of transmission failure causes is based on determining that the at least one remote station is a multi-mode shared frequency device communicating via a second network protocol, wherein the first network protocol and the second network protocol are each different ones of: a piconet protocol and a wireless local area network protocol; wherein the selection of one of the plurality of transmission failure causes includes analyzing feedback data generated by the transceiver based on the inbound signal; wherein the inbound signal includes a mode status that indicates the at least one remote station is a multi-mode shared frequency device; wherein the at least one of the plurality of transmit parameters includes a first rate adjustment schedule parameter that modifies a rate adjustment schedule that controls a transmit rate of the transceiver; wherein the first rate adjustment schedule parameter corresponding to a number of failed retransmissions required to decrease the transmit rate.
