Abstract
A system and computer-implemented method for controlling transmission settings for one or more wireless devices in a wireless network. The method comprises: monitoring uplink communications from a sending wireless device to a receiving wireless device; determining one or more link quality metrics comprising a frame loss ratio and one or more signal strength metrics for the uplink communications; determining a link quality between the sending wireless device and the receiving wireless device based on the link quality metrics; determining whether the link quality falls outside of a predefined range; and in response to determining that the link quality falls outside of the predefined range, sending an instruction to the sending wireless device to update one or more transmission parameters to adjust a link budget for future transmissions by the sending wireless device to the receiving wireless device.
