Abstract
A method for transmitting data over a network in which multiple transmission conditions can be used for transmitting data, the method comprising selecting a transmission condition to be used when transmitting data over the network, said selection being made in dependence on a predetermined preference distribution that for each of the multiple transmission conditions defines a probability of that transmission condition being selected, using the selected transmission condition when transmitting data over the network and determining the success of the transmission and updating the preference distribution in dependence on the success of the transmission and thereafter selecting a transmission condition for transmitting data over the network in dependence on the updated preference distribution.
