Patent ID: 8208873

Claim:
A method for adjusting one or more parameters of a waveform, comprising: facilitating wireless communication between a transmitting node and one or more receiving nodes, the transmitting node communicating with a receiving node over one or more channels of a plurality of channels; determining that the one or more receiving nodes are operable to perform a heteromorphic waveform process by receiving a reply from the one or more receiving nodes indicating ability to adjust one or more waveform parameters, the reply message comprising channel estimation information; estimating one or more dynamic spectrum conditions, a spectrum condition describing spectrum utilization in the vicinity of one or more surrounding nodes; estimating one or more dynamic channel conditions using the channel estimation information, a channel condition describing a channel of the plurality of channels; and adjusting the one or more waveform parameters in response to the one or more spectrum conditions and the one or more channel conditions, wherein adjusting the one or more waveform parameters further comprises: embedding the one or more waveform parameters in a transmitted waveform format, wherein at least one waveform parameter is used to decode the signal.
