Patent ID: 7203165

Claim:
A data transmission device for use with multiple data transmission technologies and/or multiple data transmission parameters of one or more data transmission technologies, comprising: a transmitting device and a receiving device configured to communicate with one another over at least one data transmission channel; a determination device configured to determine transmission properties of the at least one data transmission channel, the properties being at least one of: i) properties of multiple data transmission technologies, and ii) multiple data transmission parameters of at least one data transmission technology; and a selector device coupled to the determination device and to at least one of the transmitting device and the receiving device, the selector device being configured to select a certain data transmission technology having certain data transmission parameters according to a result of the determination; wherein the determination device is configured to determine a rate of change of the data transmission channel, and wherein the selector device is configured to make the selection so that interferences in the receiving device are eliminated when the rate of change of the data transmission channel exceeds a predetermined value, and interferences in the transmitting device are eliminated when the rate of change of the data transmission channel drops below a predetermined level.
