Abstract
A method of selecting a data transmission rate for transmitting a packet from a transmitting node to a receiving node in a wireless communication system. An updated predictive received signal quality indicator value reflecting signal quality expected to be experienced by the receiving node on the packet received from the transmitting node is obtained, as is a best instance data transmission rate corresponding to a received signal quality indicator sub-range that includes the obtained updated predictive received signal quality indicator value. The packet from the transmitting node is transmitted to the receiving node using the obtained best instance. The transmitting node periodically performs a test procedure wherein a packet is instead transmitted using a test instance selected among the set of instances for the received signal quality indicator sub-range that includes the obtained updated predictive received signal quality indicator value.
