Abstract

An adaptation technique is selected for use in a wireless network based on estimated throughput. In at least one embodiment, throughput is estimated for a wireless channel for both prefix adaptation and postfix adaptation. An adaptation technique is then selected based on the estimates. In some embodiments, an adaptation validity duration is determined to gauge the potential effectiveness of adaptation information associated with a wireless channel.
