Abstract:
In the context of a dynamic adaptation of a transmission data rate of a terminal device in a wireless communication network, predefined transmission profiles that correspond to respective data rates are associated respectively with reception sensitivities. A server performs an optimisation of said transmission data rate in successive stages, and decides to switch to a new stage according to a frame delivery rate with respect to a predefined threshold. The server selects the transmission profile to be applied by the terminal device while keeping at least a predefined margin, dependent on the stage at which the operation is performed, between received signal strength indication and reception sensitivity corresponding to said transmission profile.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for dynamic adaptation of a transmission data rate of a terminal device in a wireless communication network, the method being executed by a server in said network, predefined transmission profiles that correspond to respective data rates being associated respectively with reception sensitivities, said reception sensitivities representing minimum signal reception levels for decoding the signals transmitted respectively according to said predefined transmission profiles, wherein the server performs an optimisation of said transmission data rate in successive stages, and wherein each stage defines: a quantity N of frames to be analysed, a first frame delivery rate threshold, a second frame delivery rate threshold lower than said first threshold, a first margin, and a second margin less than or equal to said first margin, so that said quantity N of each stage is less than or equal to said quantity N of the following stage, said first margin of each stage is smaller than or equal to said first margin of the following stage, and said second margin of each stage is smaller than or equal to said second margin of the following stage,\n and wherein, when the optimisation is performed according to a current stage, the server performs the following steps:\n retaining a received signal strength indication for each frame received in a series of N frames transmitted by the terminal device; \n determining a frame delivery rate for said series of N frames; \n when the determined frame delivery rate is greater than or equal to said first threshold of the current stage, selecting the transmission profile to be applied to said terminal device while keeping at least the second margin of the current stage between the retained received signal strength indication and the reception sensitivity corresponding to said transmission profile, and switching to the following stage; \n when the determined frame delivery rate is lower than said first threshold of the current stage and is higher than said second threshold of the current stage, selecting the transmission profile to be applied to said terminal device while keeping the first margin of the current stage between the retained received signal strength indication and the reception sensitivity corresponding to said transmission profile; and \n when the determined frame delivery rate is below or equal to said second threshold of the current stage, stopping or reinitialising the optimisation.
