Patent ID: 8774070

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: at least one communication interface configured to transmit a first plurality of communication signals to a plurality of communication devices, each of the first plurality of communication signals corresponds to one of the plurality of communication devices, and to receive a second plurality of communication signals from the plurality of communication devices, each of the second plurality of communication signals corresponds to one of the plurality of communication devices; and wherein: the apparatus configured to determine relative position of each of the plurality of communication devices to the apparatus using at least one of the first plurality of communication signals and the second plurality of communication signals; based on the relative position of each of the plurality of communication devices, the apparatus configured to employ a first profile to govern communication with a first communication device of the plurality of communication devices and to employ a second profile to govern communication with a second communication device of the plurality of communication devices; the first profile includes at least one of a first data rate, a first modulation, a first code having a first code rate, and a first time frequency code (TFC); and the second profile includes at least one of a second data rate, a second modulation, a second code having a second code rate, and a second TFC.
