Abstract

System and method for improving channel efficiency in a wireless link between an access-point transceiver and a first transceiver. The first transceiver may have a first data throughput rate that is lower than the maximum possible data throughput rate of the wireless link. The first transceiver may include a first receive buffer. An indication of the first data throughput rate and a size of the first receive buffer may be received and stored by the access-point transceiver. A first size of a first data packet for transmission to the first transceiver may be determined by the access-point transceiver based on one or more of the first data throughput rate and/or the size of the first receive buffer. The first data packet of the first size may be transmitted to the first transceiver by the access-point transceiver at a data rate that is higher than the first data throughput rate.
