Abstract

A wireless communication method for transmitting data from at least one master to one or more slaves positioned at various spatial locations and configured for generally simultaneous reception of the data. The method includes dividing the data into a number of portions, transmitting at least some of the portions using different transmission configurations for the different portions, having one or more of the slaves measure the quality of transmission associated with the group of different transmission configurations, and processing the quality measurements to determine new transmission configurations for use in transmitting the data.
