Technologies directed to rate adaption based on both the average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and standard deviation are described. One method includes determining an average SNR value and a standard deviation value for a first set of RSSI samples. The method determines whether the average SNR value satisfies a first threshold criterion corresponding to a minimum SNR required with a first modulation scheme and a second threshold criterion corresponding to a standard deviation threshold. The method causes a transmitter to use the first modulation scheme for a subsequent packet, responsive to the average SNR value satisfying the first threshold criterion or the standard deviation value satisfying the second threshold criterion. The method causes the transmitter to use the second modulation scheme for the subsequent packet, responsive to the average SNR value not satisfying the first threshold criterion and the standard deviation value not satisfying the second threshold criterion.

A method for a first network device involves transmitting, to one or more second network devices, an uplink message that includes an indication of a receive window time interval, and may also include an indication of a request for a downlink message. The method also involves initiating a scheduled receive mode that causes the first network device to transition the first network device to a first power state, and perform a receive window procedure after the receive window time interval has elapsed. The receive window procedure includes transitioning the first network device to a second power state and listening for the downlink message for a duration of time. The method further involves determining that an expiration condition has been met while the first network device is in the scheduled receive mode. Additionally, the method involves terminating the scheduled receive mode upon determining that the expiration condition has been met.
