Abstract:
The invention relates to a wireless transmitter (301) configured to transmit data to a wireless receiver (303) using a selected modulation and coding scheme, MCS, of a plurality of selectable MCSs. Each selectable MCS defines an upper limit of an error vector magnitude, EVM, corresponding to an upper limit of a transmitted power of the wireless transmitter (301). The wireless transmitter (301) is configured to transmit data to the wireless receiver (303) using the selected MCS and an adjusted transmitted power that is larger or smaller than the upper limit of the transmitted power associated with the selected MCS, if the combined effects of an adjusted EVM and an adjusted received power at the wireless receiver (303) caused by the adjusted transmitted power of the wireless transmitter (301) result in an improved data transmission performance in comparison with a data transmission using a transmitted power equal to the upper limit of the transmitted power. Moreover, a corresponding method for transmitting data from the wireless transmitter (301) to the wireless receiver (303) is provided.
