Abstract
In order to determine a sounding interval, an electronic device iteratively revises a set of potential sounding intervals based on transmission statistics associated with communication of some packets with and other packets without transmission beamforming for the set of potential sounding intervals. In particular, the electronic device calculates rank positions for the set of potential sounding intervals based on an estimated throughput and numbers of packets transmitted with transmission beamforming for the set of potential sounding intervals out of a total number of packets transmitted. Then, the electronic device may determine the output sounding interval based on the ranking. When the convergence criterion is achieved, the electronic device may determine a moment based on calculated frequencies of the rank positions over multiple iterations, which is used to revise the set of potential sounding intervals in the next iteration.
