Abstract
A station and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for determining a first physical layer rate to perform data transmissions between the station and an access point of a WiFi network, the first physical layer rate being based on a primary rate and a plurality of fallback rates associated with the access point, the primary rate having a higher transmission speed than the plurality of fallback rates, determining a trigger based upon at least one current condition of the station and at least one corresponding prior condition existing at a time when the first physical layer rate is determined, selecting one of the plurality of fallback rates when the trigger is determined, performing data transmissions between the station and the access point using the one of the plurality of fallback rates and determining a second physical layer rate based on the one of the plurality of fallback rates.
