Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting communication channel bandwidth. In some implementations, a method includes determining to change a bandwidth of a wireless communication channel on which a transmitter and receiver communicate. In response, and while the transmitter and the receiver maintain data communication on the wireless communication channel, a target value and rate of change is determined for each of one or more communication parameters of the wireless communication channel. The rate of change is a rate at which the communication parameter can be changed over time while continuing to transfer data on the wireless communication channel. Data is provided to the transmitter. The data can cause, for each communication parameter, the transmitter to gradually adjust the communication parameter using the rate of change until the communication parameter reaches the target value.
