Abstract
A system and process to adjust the transmission rate of data packets by measuring (continuously or at pre-set intervals) certain elements and variables to reliably measure the current transmission rate and gaps (wasted space) to determine the channel utilization. These measurements are used to adjust the transmission rate of data in real time. The measurement of these variables reliably predicts the optimum transmission rate and can adjust the same to both efficiently transmit data and avert network congestion. A communication processing device comprising one or more processors operable to measure inter-packet gap times to estimate and utilize channel capacity changes during transmission.
