Claim One:
1. A method comprising determining a combination of fragmentation threshold value and data rate value for packet transmission frames transmitted from a transmitting node to a receiving node of a packet network, wherein the determined data rate value of said combination is a first data rate value at least when a signal-to-noise (SNR) value of packet transmissions received by the receiving node from the transmitting node is a first SNR value and is a second data rate value larger than said first data rate value when said signal-to-noise (SNR) value of packet transmissions received by the receiving node from the transmitting node is larger than said first SNR value; wherein said fragmentation threshold value of said combination is determined based on the determined data rate value; and wherein the determined fragmentation threshold value of said combination is a first fragmentation threshold value at least when the signal-to-noise (SNR) value of packet transmissions received by the receiving node from the transmitting node is a particular SNR value and is a second, larger fragmentation threshold value when the signal-to-noise (SNR) value of packet transmissions received by the receiving node from the transmitting node is larger than said particular SNR value.
