Patent ID: 8509156

Claim:
A system for adaptive control of an averaging parameter in a network having a plurality of mobile stations communicably coupled to a base station, the system comprising an averaging parameter adaptive control module associated with the base station, the averaging parameter adaptive control module comprising one or more processors configured to: generate a first averaging parameter, wherein the first averaging parameter is transmitted by the base station, via a communication channel, to at least one mobile station communicably coupled to the base station, wherein the at least one mobile station uses the first averaging parameter to generate first channel condition information that indicates a condition of the communication channel and that is used by the base station to control download link adaptation for the communication channel; receive first feedback information comprising the first channel condition information from the at least one mobile station; generate a second averaging parameter using the first averaging parameter and the first feedback information; and transmit the second averaging parameter from the base station to the at least one mobile station, thereby adaptively controlling the second averaging parameter based at least in part on the first feedback information.
