Patent ID: 7782825

Claim:
A method of wireless communication of a multiple radio platform (MRP), the method comprising: determining an overlap between receiving by a wireless device of the MRP and transmitting by other of the wireless devices of the MRP; selecting a link rate of the wireless device based upon the determining, wherein the determining an overlap and the selecting a link rate comprise: determining a ratio, the numerator of the ratio a measure of overlap between receiving by the wireless device and transmitting by the other of the wireless devices, and the denominator of the ratio a measure of the total of overlap and non-overlap between receiving by the wireless device and transmitting by the other of the wireless devices; applying a first method of selecting a link rate based upon a determination that the ratio is greater than a threshold ratio; and applying a second method of selecting a link rate based upon determining that the ratio is less than a threshold ratio; and communicating the selected link rate to a second wireless device transmitting to the wireless device.
