Patent ID: 7400674

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving information relating to at least a part of a first set of data; determining a number of times that said at least part of said first set of data has been transmitted; and updating at least one threshold for a quantity indicative of transmission conditions based on the determined number of times, said at least one threshold for determining a transmission rate for said at least part of said first set of data, wherein said updating comprises determining at least one threshold value set to be updated from a plurality of threshold value sets, a first threshold value set of said plurality of threshold value sets relating to at least a first number of times said at least a part of said first set of data has been transmitted, and a second threshold value set of said plurality of threshold value sets relating to at least a second number of times said at least part of said first set of data has been transmitted, and wherein said updating further comprises adjusting at least one threshold value in said at least one threshold value set based on at least one of the number of transmission times relating to the respective threshold value set and a target value for a second quantity indicative of transmission conditions.
