Abstract:
A transmitting device may determine a physical layer transmission properties based upon an amount of data to transmit via a communications channel. The physical layer transmission properties may comprise a derated tone map that has a lower physical layer transmission throughput capability than an original tone map. An indication regarding the derated tone map may be included in a first message, a portion of a physical layer framing protocol, a physical layer control transmission (such as a frame control symbol), or other transmissions such that the receiving device can derive the derated tone map without significant added overhead.
Abstract:
A device may determine adapted physical layer transmission properties based upon characteristics of a packet stream to be transmitted via a communications channel. The physical layer transmission properties may comprise an adapted tone map that is associated with an aggressive physical layer throughput capability for UDP traffic, a conservative physical layer throughput capability for TCP traffic, or a dynamically adjusted physical layer throughput rate for mixed traffic. An indication regarding the adapted tone map may be included in a first message, a portion of a physical layer framing protocol, a physical layer control transmission (such as a frame control symbol), or other transmissions such that the receiving device can derive the adapted tone map without significant added overhead.
