Patent ID: 7218645

Claim:
An apparatus optimizing a radio link supporting wireless communication involving Open System Interconnect (OSI) link layers from an OSI layer one to a top layer, comprising: means for acquiring a measured parameter collection including at least one measured parameter for at least one member of a radio chain collection involving at least one member of a layer one-two collection including at least said OSI layer one and an OSI layer two; means for determining an optimum setting collection for at least an OSI layer three to said top layer based upon said measured parameter collection and based upon a goal; and means for configuring at least said OSI layer three to said top layer based upon said optimum setting collection to support said goal; wherein said radio chain collection is comprised of: each receiver chain included in said radio link, and each transmit chain included in said radio link; wherein said top layer is at least an OSI layer four; and wherein for at least one of said OSI link layer from said OSI layer three to said top layer, said optimum setting collection includes at least one member associated with said OSI link layer; wherein said radio link includes said at least one receiver chain and said at least one transmit chain.
