A wireless access point (WAP) efficiently adjusts one or more operational parameters, such as transmission power, a data rate, a modulation scheme, and/or an encoding scheme, to provide some examples, to provide efficient communication with one or more communication devices. This efficient allocation of the one or more operational parameters can represent a per-station allocation of the one or more operational parameters, a dynamic allocation of the one or more operational parameters, and/or a combination of the per-station allocation and the dynamic allocation. In the per-station allocation, the WAP determines and uses one or more values for the operational parameters for each of the one or more communication devices. In the dynamic allocation, the WAP monitors one or more distances between the WAP and one or more of the one or more communication devices. The WAP can continuously monitor, periodically monitor, or monitor over a discrete period of time the one or more distances. Thereafter, the WAP determines and uses one or more values for the operational parameters for each of the one or more communication devices based upon the one or more distances.
