Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing an optimized rate search process. In one aspect, a first device may determine a signal strength measurement based on a result of a beamforming process. The first device may determine the signal strength measurement associated with a transmission sector selected based on a sector level sweep of the beamforming process. The first device may determine a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for transmissions from the first device to a second device based, at least in part, on the signal strength measurement determined from the beamforming process. In one aspect, the first device may determine the MCS without using probing messages during the rate search process. In one aspect, the first device may determine an initial MCS based on the signal strength measurement, and determine whether to select or change the initial MCS.

Claim (Index 13):
The first device of  claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the first device to:\n perform a rate search process after receiving the result of the beamforming process from the second device, the result of the beamforming process including the signal strength measurement; determine the MCS based, at least in part, on the signal strength measurement determined from the beamforming process and without using probing messages during the rate search process; and select the MCS that is associated with the signal strength measurement for transmissions from the first device to the second device.
